"The Promises of God"

The Bible is filled with promises...promises where our gracious God has said that He will meet all our "needs." He does not promise to give us everything we "want" but He will give us everything we need. I know you will agree that our #1 need is to be obedient children of God.

Our church has always had the possibility of great spiritual growth and the possibility to make a significant influence for God's kingdom in our community. The only factor that could hold us back is a lack of commitment on the part of our membership.

In 2003 we had a strong commitment to reach the lost souls around us, and 2004 was a  challenge for us to grow in SPIRITUAL MATURITY. As we mature in our knowledge of God's world, and as we become more and more faithful to yield our lives to the influence of the Holy Spirit, our true potential will emerge.

Now I want to introduce a "promise" in God's Word that will be our guiding light for 2005 and beyond. "Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place." (2 Corinthians 2:14) Would this coming year be exciting and filled with hope if only we each took this promise seriously? Can you imagine the difference it would make in your personal life, your family life, and see every activity that fills your days! Can you image how it is going to affect your church as we see it lived out in every ministry, every plan, and every leader?

We are currently seeing many of God's "promises" being fulfilled here at FBC. ●Exciting Worship ●Changed Lives ●Future Vision ●Solid Growth●  The days ahead are bright and "promising". Why not come and take the journey with us! I can "promise" you will enjoy the trip!
