Worship

By Victoria Bailey

A Word from Our Pastor

Good morning, FBC!!!

Last Sunday we waved the checkered flag & supposedly finished the journey in our on-going mini-series on Joseph. But today, we’re going to take a “Victory Lap.” You see, there’s one last issue that we need to deal with before we complete our study of Joseph.

So let’s take a step back and remember the true Biblical definition of success…Success is finding and following God’s will for your life!

Let’s also remember that on life’s road to success, you will encounter plenty of frustrating situations like speed bumps, potholes, stop signs, and detours.

But now in this final lap we’re going to discuss another interesting element of the road…ROAD RAGE!!

Here we go,
Pastor Danny

“THRIVING IN BABYLON”

These are confusing times for many Christians. Traditional biblical values are not only rejected; it seems as if they’re attacked on every front. It has all happened at warp speed, leaving many spiritually and culturally disoriented or even fearful, frustrated, and angry. How can we spiritually survive in an increasingly spiritually hostile environment?

Body Recall

Each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we offer a class that emphasizes strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. The class is led by Jimmie Buchanan, our local Body Recall expert.9 am in FLC.
