Love God, Love Others, Serve the World

God Has Not Given Up On You

"And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." (Philippians 1:6)

 

Do you have problems with "stick-ability" or completing a task you started? How many of us have a load of "unfinished symphonies," whether they are craft projects, maintenance jobs, or tasks we started but never finished? Not being able to see things through to completion seems to be something so many of us are guilty of.

 

Aren't you glad God is not like us? 

 

He not only looks at us in our sin and need and sees a thing of incredible potential, but He is prepared to work with us for the rest of our lives, changing us, as we allow Him access, to become more and more like Him. Then, finally, He will present us to His Father as complete and Christlike, without fault and blameless.

 

God has begun a masterpiece in your life, and He will bring it to completion also. You are a work in progress, so don't give up. God hasn't given up on you.

Upcoming Events

Sharing Your Faith

 

The Sharing Your Faith training continues this Sunday evening at 6:00 PM here at Faith. For the next two Sunday evenings we will be learning how we’ve been uniquely positioned to influence those arounds us for God. This seminar will show you how you can use your everyday life to make a difference with those who don’t know Jesus.

First Responder Meals

 

On Thursday, October 27, 2022, Faith will be providing free jambalaya meals for all first responders from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This is to honor and say “Thank You” for their sacrifice and dedication to our community in recognition of National First Responder Day. We have opportunities for volunteers to serve in the fellowship room and in the parking lot. Volunteer sign-up sheets are in the foyer.

This Week's Memory Verse

“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” (Colossians 4:5–6, NKJV)

 

Please pray for this year's Awana Clubs

Please pray that we will reach children and youth throughout our community with the gospel and engage them in lifelong discipleship. Also, pray that we may be able to get to know their families as well.

Know that your contributions are making a difference

We want to be both wise and generous with our money and possessions, which is why the Bible tells us to give a portion of our income to the church. No other organization on earth has the potential to make a greater impact and change the world than the local church. When we give to the church, we become a part of what God is doing in our local communities and abroad, enabling change to happen and lives to be transformed.
