FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH - October 21, 2007

FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH
October 21, 2007
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcards: I John 1:6-10, Christ is constantly cleansing us from all sin (Present tense verbs here). Therefore a condition of fellowship with God not only requires a life consistent with His nature, but also requires the constant exposing of sins, both known and unknown, by the very God who is Light. It also includes the confession of sin which results in the constant cleansing of us by Christ. So the closer your walk with God the more aware you will be of your sins.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 9 - Living of the Gospel - Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
W-a-i-t-i-n-g
Two ladies were sitting in a living room, waiting for their hostess, who was slightly delayed. The daughter of the family was with them, on the theory that she would keep the visitors occupied during the wait. The child was about six years old, snub nosed, freckled, buck toothed and bespectacled. She maintained a deep silence and the two ladies peered doubtfully at her. Finally, one of them muttered to the other, "Not very p-r-e-t-t-y, I fear," carefully spelling the key word. Whereupon the child piped up, "But awfully s-m-a-r-t."
Announcements
I have e-mailed the landlord and asked him for the lease figures for the coming year. As soon as I have the information we will schedule a meeting to discuss it. Since we first discussed this change the finances have been going well, so things are looking good at this time.
