What A Contrast! I Samuel 25

2/28/2012

0 Comments

 
Nabal is a churlish, rude and arrogant man, who refused to help God’s cause   and God’s man.  In contrast, his wife Abigail was kind, helpful and a beautiful woman.   She tried to help Nabal to overcome being stingy and selfish.  When Nabal refused to help God’s cause, he got drunk in an orgy state and died of fright.  What a contrast in the home!   
Here are Nabal’s advantages:
  1)  He belonged to a good family.
  2) He married an excellent wife.
  3) Nabal enjoyed plenty of prosperity and money.
  4) He could have honored God’s man, David.
  5)  Nabal should have been thankful to God, the provider.

What lessons do we learn from Nabal?
  1) The worth of a person consists not in what they have, but in what they are.
  2) Wealth and money places on a person a serious responsibility
  for a Godly use in life.
  3) A person’s position on earth disappears in the light of eternity.
  So honor God!

Be Reconciled

2/15/2012

0 Comments

 
Being reconciled to one another is an important aspect of our Christian life.  Jesus said, “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift” (Matt. 5:23, 24).

If you know you have offended someone, you need to make things right.  Go to the person for a face-to-face meeting or call on the phone if it is not possible to go in person.  Say to the person you have offended, “God has convicted me of my sin against you.  I have come to ask, “Will you forgive me?” Remain silent and wait for a response.
Keep the following in mind: (1) Do not say, “I’m sorry,” say, “Will you forgive me?”  There is a world of difference.  (2) Do not say, “If I have offended you,” instead say, “God has convicted me of my sin against you.”  (3) Do not involve anyone other than the person who has been offended by you.  It is unnecessary and may even be unwise.  (4) If the person does not immediately forgive you, be patient and wait for God to work in their heart.

Five Objectives at FBC

Five Objectives at
First Baptist Church

Our Mission is to lead people into a maturing and growing relationship with   our Lord.  In order to make this happen, we desire to fulfill five basic objectives through the ministries of our church:
(1)  Bring people to a saving faith in Jesus.
(2)  Teach people the inspired Word of God.
(3)  Involve people in dynamic worship.
(4)  Equip people for and involve in service.
(5)  Help people to develop a sense of belonging.

The Sunday school and Wednesday study times is our primary method of accomplishing these objectives.  It is in these church classes (10:00 a.m. Sunday and 7:00 p.m. Wednesday) that we have interactive, applicable Bible study for all age groups.  People are involved and encouraged during these hours and no one is shunned.  Each person who attends Sunday school and Wednesday studies develops friendships and healthy personal relationships with others.

Get involved in the classes of your church.  It is not merely a church program for children and teens.  It is how people of all ages participate in carrying out our mission for Christ.  Sunday and Wednesdays are for you!  So be faithful. Renew and start again that fire in your Christian heart.  Jesus is waiting for you at your church!  I am too!       

Bro. Adams
