FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH
November 11, 2007
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcards: I John 2:8-11, Love is seeking the greatest good of another. It is present tense,” continually loves,” in verse 10. Close fellowship with Christ causes love to flow to the brethren, indeed, only by the Spirit (His fruit) in a yielded believer could there be genuine, true love for the brethren.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 10:13-30, Run, Christian, Run! Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

Insured Voice: The choir director of a large church choir bragged before the congregation in a booming, bellowing voice: "Two years ago I insured my voice with Lloyds of London for $750,000." There was a hushed and awed silence in the crowded room. Suddenly, from the back of the room, the quiet, nasal voice of an elderly woman was heard, "So what did you do with the money?

Announcements
We have received the figures for the new lease. The first year will be at $1554/month, a $67/month increase. The second year will be at $1624/month, a $70/month increase. The third year will be at $1697/month, a $73/month increase. This is a 4.5% increase per year which is essentially the same as before. This is the amount we expected and is within our current giving and expenses. We will need to confirm this as a church in order to move forward. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
We will have our Christmas potluck fellowship on Sunday night December 16 at 5:30pm. We will not have the Ladies Banquet this year but we will have a special celebration for our 20th anniversary as a church in January.
