Beloved Ones, this coming Lord's Day morning may be sunny both inside and outside our Church! It is always sunny inside, but lately we have not seen a lot of sunshine outside.
As the Lord allows, I will continue my series of "Simple Salvation Sermons" with a message from Luke 23:32-43 entitled, "What is Essential for Salvation?" At the last night of revival last month, we named 22 people for whose salvation we are praying and we committed to try our best to get them here in May.
This is certainly not a new sermon to me! I have been preaching this message in churches for nearly thirty years. This sermon has been used of the Lord to bring more people to faith than any other message I have ever preached.
I hope to see you Sunday Morning with a smile on your face, your Bible in your hand, and your family and friends by your side!
Remember, Sundays Coming!

Great Day - all day today!
What a blessed and happy day to be present at FBC! We were blessed today with good attendance in Sunday School and Worship; great music in the AM Service; (as always) I had a blast preaching on the Transfiguration of Jesus; and, we celebrated the Lord's Supper together!
Speaking of the Lord's Supper, praise the Lord for raising up from among us eight men willing to serve us as Deacons - and that four of them served us the Lord's Supper for the first time today. Gene Greek has served the Lord's Supper in other churches many, many times; but, it was his first time today as a Deacon of our church. Andy, Craig, and Kelly served the Lord's Supper for the first time ever!
How I thank the Lord for the six men now serving us as Elders and all eight of the men now serving us as Deacons!
And how about "Super Jessica" leading our VBS Team this year! She and Jason are real blessings to our church. How we thank the Lord for bringing them to know Him last year and for leading them to be part of our Church.
Oh, I could go on and on; but, I am in danger of leaving someone out. Thanks to everyone who made this Lord's Day so very special - and to the Lord for blessing us with His anointing presence. Amen!
