FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH - January 6, 2008

FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH
January 6, 2008
Church Items
The prayer requests are on the back of the bulletin now. We also have included the prayer chain people and the way to send a request down the chain.
We want to update our church directory to include e-mail addresses for all of you who have e-mail. Please review the directories on the back table and make any needed changes and include your e-mail address. Leave the corrected copy on the back table or on the desk in the office.
This year we will be working on several projects that are needed. Let me know if you have any questions: a sign on the door to include times of services; updating the “sandwich” sign to place outside on Sundays; e-mail list for the church; repair damaged pews; revamp the sound system – if you can think of other needed projects let us know.
There is also a birthday list on the back table. If we do not have your birthday or the date is wrong put it on the list.
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
A husband was reading an article out loud to his wife. "Did you know that women use about 30,000 words a day, whereas men only use 15,000 words?" His wife replied, "That’s because a woman has to say everything twice." The husband turned to his wife and said, “What?”
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcard - I John 3:7-9 - Internal righteousness displays a righteous life outwardly. Satan and Christ are obviously as different as sin and righteousness are, but it can take discernment to know the difference. This requires fellowship with God. The Holy Spirit is our “Holy Parent” (seed), and sin is not a part of His character.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 12:14-31 Better Gifts than These - It is God that has arranged the “parts” of the body. He has arranged the gifts and the people just as He has chosen them. If they were all the same part, how could it even be called a body? Therefore there are many parts but it is a single body. There are many gifts in the church, but it operates as a single unit under the will and power of God. We are not all the same and cannot be for the health of the body.
