Stand Strong in the Face of Trials

Can you believe it? There are only three Sundays remaining in our series on Acts: When Church Comes to Life. This Sunday we are in Acts 26 examining Paul’s testimony before Felix and Agrippa. As we read about Paul’s steady faith and extraordinary courage, we are encouraged to “Stand Strong in the Face of Trials.”

At the beginning of the Mid-morning service this week, we will be celebrating the baptism of those who have recently made decisions for Christ. Our next opportunity for baptism is scheduled for Easter Sunday April 4.

During March our emphasis is on Connecting with the Spirit. When a believer is motivated by the Holy Spirit, that believer moves to a more effective level of Christian service. We believe that the Spirit is at work to unify and motivate God’s people to serve cooperatively and courageously in our world and in our community. There is a fresh breeze of the Spirit blowing across our First Baptist Family. Will you set your sails to that wind?

Don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour this Saturday evening! I look forward to seeing you “on time” as we gather for worship and Bible study.
