XäxÜÄtáà|Çz Ytà{xÜ? cÜ|Çvx Éy cxtvxAÊ New Sermon Series and Bible Studies to Begin the New Year: God’s concluding message in the Bible is recorded in The Book of Revelation. It’s often ignored because of its veiled language and imagery. The clearest of God’s revelations, in this perplexing book of the New Testament, are communicated through Seven Letters which are addressed to Seven Churches. Which of these churches best reflects First Baptist Church, as we begin the year of 2015? James is a wonderful book, with great lessons for our life. But, it’s a very stern letter; it expects much, but promises much as well. As we plunge into this letter, James will remind us of that middle or high school teacher whose approach to us seemed to be unnecessarily harsh; but in hindsight we remember that teacher as one who sincerely cared about us, and wanted us to succeed in life. You Do Not Want To Miss This Life Changing Study! The Holy Spirit is active at the Bible’s beginning and ending, and all the way in between. He is mentioned over 600 times in the Old and New Testaments combined. That makes Him the most dominating character in the Bible. How much do you know about Him? In this Wednesday evening class, we will discover the person and work of the Holy Spirit.

Church Office Hours Ministerial Staff Love Offering We will be receiving love gifts for Christmas in appreciation of our ministerial staff through Sunday, Dec. 21. Be sure to mark your check or envelope “Staff Christmas” so it will be designated for this Church Opportunities Every Sunday The 2014 theme is “One sacred effort” and the Scripture is Matthew 28:19-20. What is that one sacred effort? Man sinned and forfeited his perfect relationship with God, but He had a plan to reconcile His creation back to Himself through His Son, the sent One. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, God sent disciples to continue His faithful mission to make Himself known. Now, it is our call and privilege to join the Author of all history in His magnificent story of redemption as we advance His Gospel among all nations – together in one sacred effort! Through giving, you are sending and supporting your missionaries, advancing the Gospel to the nations – and finding a place in God’s story!
