FEBRUARY BIBLE STUDY 2015
Deuteronomy
“A Challenge to a New Generation”
Sunday evenings in February will focus on the
Book of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is one of
the greatest books in the Old Testament. Its
influence on personal religion of all ages has
not been surpassed by any other book in the
Bible. It is quoted over eighty times in the
New Testament. One writer said, “The author
of Deuteronomy...brought the Old Testament
faith as near to the level of the New Testament
faith as possible.” Join us for this rich study!
SENIOR ADULT
APPRECTION BANQUET
Mark your calendars for February 7th.
This year’s theme is “Variety Show”.
It will feature two skits from our
youth of two shows along with a
game that will help you reflect on
these great shows. The food, as always, will be great! It starts at 12:00
p.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. Call the
office today to reserve your spot.

On Sunday afternoon, First Baptist Church will
gather together for a special and unique worship
service. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we
will ordain Larry Long and Randy Rinehart to
the office and work of the Deacon Ministry.
Everything rises or falls with leadership, whether it be a family or a local church. The Holy
Spirit imparts gifts to believers for ministry in the
local church. Though the church is an organism, it
must be organized or it will die. Leadership is vital
to spiritual organization. In 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Paul
describes the offices of Pastor and Deacon. This
Sunday afternoon we will be ordaining two of our
men to serve as Deacons of our church. The word,
“Deacon” comes to us from the Greek word,
“diakonos”. It means “to minister or to serve.” It
speaks of one hastening to serve or hurrying to wait
on another. The earliest allusion to the Deacon is
recorded in Acts 6:1-7. Deacons are servants servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, servants with
their Pastors and servants for the people.
Deacons are to be Christ-centered and Holy
Spirit filled/controlled. They are to earnestly care
for the needs of the people. They are to act as spiritual leaders leading the church in the areas of
proclamation, caring, fellowship and worship.
They are to be filled with the sincere desire of
spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Deacons are
to be servants; debtors for others. Not a substitute
for the Pastor, but a minister with the Pastor. The
Deacon is to his Pastor what Aaron was to Moses,
a helper. It is together that Deacons and their Pastors, arm in arm serve the local church.
A Deacon should be worthy of respect, taking
his responsibilities seriously. He should be doctrinally sound, tested and proved. He should be in
control of his tongue and not a gossiper. He should
be an effective witness for Christ utilizing his time,
talent and treasures for the Kingdom of God. We
believe that Larry Long and Randy Rinehart
are such men. We look forward to their ordination on Sunday. Let us ever remember that Deacons are not elected to honor themselves. They are
elected to honor the Lord Jesus Christ.
I will see each of you on Sunday!
Loving you, Pastor Mike
