Invite family/friends; the journey WITH God is an amazing 1; you can't change the past, but you can make sure, from this point on, God will be 1st! Make this year the BEST ever! It can be; it will be, if you include God! start attending church; EVERY Sunday & Wednesday/EVERY service/EVERY time the church doors are open; make a pledge with God that you will be in church!

SUNDAY AT 10 AM BIBLE STUDY HOUR is NOT meeting; Ephesians 6: The Armor of God The Christian life is a battle-ground, not a playground! The Christian battles the world, the flesh, the devil; We are not fighting the battle alone. Other believers stand with us in the fight; we ought to encourage each other. 

SUNDAY 11 AM MORNING WORSHIP Pastor Brooks Goodhart - “The Destruction of the Final World Religion” - Revelation 17 Sermon Notes:  Beginning in Ch 17, John describes the Lamb of God’s step by step victory over the “beast” and his kingdom. In Rev 17 the religious system is destroyed; in Rev 18, the political and economic system is judged; and in Rev 19, Christ returns to earth, judges Satan, The beast, and the false prophet, and then establishes His kingdom. Vss 1 and 2 begin with an invitation to come and see what God will do with the beast’s worldwide religious system; then John describes what he saw beginning in verse 3.

FOCUS of Revelation: on Jesus Christ and His glorious victory over all His enemies. The author: the apostle John; written 95 AD. A special blessing is promised to those who read, hear, obey this book. John was a prisoner for his faith, exiled to the isle of Patmos by Roman emperor Domitian; he wrote the Bk of Revelation during this time.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME! PLEASE COME; INVITE SOMEONE TO COME WITH YOU!

 Sunday 6 PMEvening Gospel Hour Pastor Brooks Goodhart - A New Year's Challenge:   No Regrets!” - 2 Timothy 4:6-8   Plus,  Testimony – Paul D'Ariano

Sermon notes:  The apostle Paul wrote these words shortly before his death, a prisoner in Rome, chained to a Roman soldier. Paul looks DOWNWARD to the grave (PRESENT), BACKWARD on his life (PAST), FORWARD and UPWARD to his reward (FUTURE). DOWNWARD to the grave: Paul pictures his death as an offering that he was giving to God. Paul’s departure from this earth to heaven was certain. BACKWARD on his life: Paul had served the Lord faithfully for 30 years. Paul uses theee images: Wrestler, Runner, and Steward. FORWARD and UPWARD to his reward: Paul’s reward from Christ was glorious, personal, future, and shared. No reserve, no retreat, no regrets!

1. THIS WEEK AT FAITH BIBLE

Fri nights 6:30pm Pastor Brooks/preaches same Sun am sermon;  All are invited! About 20-25 attend; some come Friday nite and Sunday am

   Who knows what 2023 will hold? There will be difficult decisions, and unforeseen changes in different areas of life. However, regardless of what twists and turns the unknown path of the future may hold, if we are sensitive to His leading, we have no reason to fear what might be just over the horizon of tomorrow!

   Never do anything, which you should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of your life! Ask yourself at the end of every day, week, month, and year if you could possibly have done better for God! Until you die, do not act for yourself, but entirely for God!   God FIRST! Everything else SECOND!!

  Thank you for your support; very much needed, and greatly appreciated! Many churches are closing down because not many give weekly/what they should. Your faithful, sacrificial giving allows us to meet our expenses. God speaks to hearts and the response is overwhelming! A team effort! With God ALL things are possible! God provides! Above all, PRAY! There is power thru PRAYER! Whatever you can you can give is a BIG help!

  If you are not giving your tithe each week, you are disobeying God's command!   We ALL need to do our part!  Jesus gave His life for you; you owe Him your best! Give weekly, and sacrificially!

   We need your help! The giving of our church is down; we are not receiving what we need weekly. We know that our church family responds when there is a need! We are confident God will speak to hearts, that the response will be overwhelming, & God will provide!! Maybe, some would like to give a yr end love offering, or give to Christmas offerimg/goal $5,000. Please pray/give; we have no doubt God will supply ALL our needs! We know God will speak to hearts, that the response will be overwhelming; God will provide!!  It is vital that all of us give weekly, faithfully; make up your tithe if you miss church! If you are not giving your tithe each week, then you are disobeying God's command! We ALL need to do our part!  Giving is a COMMAND from God!

***OFFERING ENVELOPES:  We have instituted this system at our church. The envelopes are dated for each Sunday of the year. This is excellent in recording your giving; you will receive a statement, from our church treasurer, giving you, your total in giving for income tax purposes. It is a reminder for you to give faithfully EACH WEEK! Please see Brad Goodhart IF you want a box of offering envelopes.
