FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH
September 16, 2007

Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcards: Philemon 18-25 - If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 6:1-11: Obsessed with Being Right - Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Once we understand our position in Christ and our surrender to the truth, and that doing what is in the best interests of Jesus Christ rather than ourselves is the highest priority of our lives, then minor disputes have no legs; they are resolved easily.
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Sermon Sub: A minister was called away unexpectedly by the illness of a close family member. He entrusted his new assistant with filling the pulpit. The Pastor's wife stayed home. When he returned, the minister asked his wife what she thought of the young man's sermon. "The poorest I've ever heard," she said. "There was nothing in it, nothing at all. It didn't even make sense. It was very unorganized. I was disappointed." Later that day, the concerned minister met his assistant and asked him, "How'd the Sunday service and sermon go? Did all go well? How did you manage?" "All went very well, sir, absolutely wonderful," he said. "I didn't have time to prepare a new sermon of my own on such short notice, so I got on your computer and pulled up one of your old sermons from last year."

Scripture Reading
When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him? I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all Thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in Thee: I will sing praise to Thy name, O Thou most High. Psalm 8:3-4; 9:1-2
