January Newsletter

To the Church Family at Faith Baptist Church;
Your word is more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb (cf. Ps 19:10). The ancient Israelites did not have access to bitcoin or stevia. The most valuable thing they had was gold. The sweetest thing they knew was honey. Upon meditating, treasuring, and reading the Scriptures, David is left with no other response than to respond in worship and say, “The Word if God is more valuable than the most valuable thing we have here on Earth and is sweeter than even the sweetest thing we could have! Oh how great is His Word!” Come taste and see the sweetness and worth of God’s word. Would you commit this year to reading either the New Testament or through the whole Bible? We invite you to come taste and experience the sweetness and worth of God’s Word. What would it take for you to increase the habit and
progress in the treasuring of God’s word?
There are a couple of very exciting things happening over the next few months. First, we have our New
 Members Class. This will be Jan 12-26 during the
Sunday School hour. This class is mandatory to take to become a member of the church and is open to all who would like to learn about Church Membership. Secondly, in light of us going through Psalm 119 for our current sermon series, the deacons and myself would like to
offer some Bible Study Training. This will be a three-month long training during the Sunday School hour for you to learn how to get the most out of your Bible. This training will begin on Feb 2 during the Sunday School hour. Also, Wednesday Nights we will begin our new series: Christian Beliefs. This is a look at 20 different doctrines that are foundational to our faith. Finally, February 28 and March 1 we will be hosting a Marriage Conference here. We hope and pray for this to be a beneficial and practical time of worship for us. No matter how good your marriage is, a tune up can always be helpful and no matter how bad your marriage is going, it is not outside of God’s redeeming grace.
