Faith Bible Church

This Week at Faith Bible Church!

NOTE: THIS Sunday is MISSIONARY SUNDAY! An offering plate will be at the door as you leave to collect money for the missionaries we support at Faith Bible. Please be generous in supporting our missionaries who are faithfully serving the Lord and sharing the gospel, both here and around the world.

William Carey: “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.” Hudson Taylor, the missionary to China, said: “God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on Him.” Jim Elliot, missionary martyr who lost his life in the late 1950s trying to reach the Auca Indians of Ecuador: “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.”

I can't save a lost person, but I can point him to the One who can! I can't forgive sins, but I can point the sinner to the God who can! I can't open the eyes of the blind, but I can point the blind to the great SIGHT-GIVER! I can't make a person healthy and whole, but I can care enough to point that person to the GREAT PHYSICIAN! Today men and women are starving to death. They desperately need the Bread of Life (John 6:35). We have good news which others need to hear. How can we keep quiet? How can we remain silent?

If you were a medical researcher and discovered a cure for cancer, would you keep quiet about it, or would you tell the world? Believers in Christ know of a disease which is far worse than cancer: "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (incurably sick)" (Jer. 17:9). There is no human remedy, but there is a divine remedy, found in the person Jesus Christ. May God give us the courage and boldness to share this good news with those around us who are desperately sick/dying!

Why attend church? Church fills a need that cannot be met in any other way! If you do not attend church faithfully, you are the one who will suffer. Your faith will fade; you will grow cold to spiritual things. You will lose interest in doing God’s will! Don’t let that happen!! Determine to put God 1st and attend church every week! If you can, attend Sunday AM, PM, and Wed nite prayer meeting! Then you will have NO regrets!!

WE ARE BACK AGAIN TO WORSHIP/FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER IN CHURCH! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Invite FAMILY, FRIENDS! Let's set a RECORD! We are steadily getting more of our church family back each week! God is blessing us, and our church, as we put our trust and faith in Him! NOW, We need YOU! PLEASE COME!!! God is working miracles; touching hearts! It will be an uplifting, life-changing experience! We have great times of worship/fellowship! We serve an awesome, all-powerful God; He deserves our BEST, ALL the time!

SUNDAY AT 10 AM BIBLE STUDY HOUR - Pastor Brooks - continued studies in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - “The Word of the Living God.” Five important statements about the Scriptures: They are the holy Scriptures, they lead us to salvation, they are true and dependable, they are profitable, and they equip us for service. The Scriptures are inspired, “God-breathed.” Every part of Scripture, down to each word, is inspired (2 Peter 1:21). The Bible is the Word of God; when the Bible speaks, God speaks. Inspiration: The supernatural influence of the Holy spirit on the Bible's writers which guaranteed what they wrote was accurate and trustworthy. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, eternal Word of God. The Scriptures are profitable for doctrine (what is right), reproof (what is not right), correction (how to get right), and instruction in righteousness (how to stay right). Perfect means complete, in fit shape or condition and furnished means that the Scriptures equip a believer so he can live a life that pleases God and do the work God wants him to do.

SUNDAY AT 11 AM MORNING WORSHIP HOUR Pastor Brooks Goodhart “MISSIONS: Operation World” - Matthew 9:36-38 Sermon notes: To reach the world with the gospel, we must do 3 things: See What Jesus Saw v 36a, Feel What Jesus Felt v 36b, and Do What Jesus Did v 37-38. Jesus saw the people’s physical needs, but especially their spiritual needs (lost and going to a Christless eternity in hell). Jesus was moved with compassion and cared for them; they were weary and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. Above all, we must PRAY that God will send forth laborers into His harvest.

NOTE: Catherine Pierre Rosia/1 of our missionaries, has an orphanage in Haiti; she will be in church Sunday 11am, to share what God is doing in her work in Haiti!

Pastor Don Goodhart will pray; Joe Melchiore and Steve Squillace will read Scripture; Gemma and Kryssa Goodhart will provide special music!

NURSERY (Coordinator: Cindy Evans) meets during the MORNING SERVICE at 11am, and at 6pm for the EVENING SERVICE!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME! PLEASE COME AND INVITE SOMEONE TO COME ALONG WITH YOU!

SUNDAY EVENING AT 6 PM EVENING GOSPEL HOUR Pastor Brooks Goodhart will be preaching - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-18 “Family Life” - Three areas in church family life: Family Leadership (v 12-13) - Four things to do for our pastors: Pray for them, respect them, honor them, and love them Family Partnership (v 14-15) - 3 groups of people in the church that need personal help: the unruly (careless and out of line), the timid (fainthearted), and the weak (spiritually, not physically), and Family Worship (v 16-18) ` 3 elements: Joy, Prayer, and Praise.

Please come! It would really encourage him, to have a BIG group; PLUS, everyone who attends will get a Hershey bar! Not that you need an incentive; I am sure you will come; God will work in your heart, and you will be blessed & enriched in the Word!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME to come for this special evening of singing the great hymns of the faith, fellowship, and study in the Word.

Wednesday - 7:00 p.m. BIBLE STUDY AND THE POWER HOUR led by Pastor Brooks Goodhart The prayers of our church, as in the NT church in Acts 12, are united, persistent, & definite! Prayer changes things, and it changes people, who pray! Excellent attendance: double what it used to be; several 1st-timers; prayers from the heart! It was a very powerful time; didn't end until 9pm. Never underestimate the power of a praying church!

Everyone kneels/prays silently, while Pastor Brad rings the church bell. Satan's concern is to keep Christians from praying; he trembles when we pray! It is a powerful nite! God is working mightily! Please make time on Wed nites to come; you will be touched! It is an uplifting, life-changing experience! There is POWER thru PRAYER! Special time of fellowship, Bible study, silent prayer!

Prayer power is truly the greatest power in the world!..Charles Spurgeon

“There is no problem in which prayer is not the proper response!” Dr Bob Cook “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalms 46:10

God hears and answers prayer! Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything! Then you will experience God's peace Phil. 4:6-7 The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces results! James 5:16 Keep trusting & Keep praying!

**"If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and PRAY and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

If you have a seemingly impossible need today, remember that the hand that supplied your greatest need – forgiveness of sin – is the same hand that can adequately supply all your needs. Trust Him to accomplish things that seem impossible. Impossibilities cause us to rely on God!

Remember to spend a lot of time in PRAYER for each other, our church, your pastors! VERY IMPORTANT to pray for each other!

James 5:13 “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth” Psalm 145:18; Prayer is the powerhouse for us, as Christians!
