FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH
November 4, 2007
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcards: I John 2:4-11, But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.
Today’s Sermon
I Corinthians 10:1-13, The Price of Disqualification - The Example of Israel, Appreciating the Privileges God has Given Us - And do not grumble, as some of them did-and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. (Vss. 10-11, NIV)
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Strict Rules: My friend, the manager of a grocery store, nabbed a shoplifter in the act. He was escorting the suspect to the office in the front of the store (near the cash registers), when the shoplifter broke from his grip and tried to run. After a scuffle, my friend pinned him against the wall and looked up to see a number of surprised customers staring at him. "Everything's fine, Folks," he reassured them. "This guy just tried to go through the express line with more than ten items."

Announcements
We have not received the new lease yet, but an e-mail from the landlord this week indicates that the increase per month will be about the same as before; approximately $66/month per year (a 4.5% increase). Since we sent out our letter in March of this year, we have not had to draw from our savings account to meet our expenses and have had an over $66/month surplus each month. Therefore we would be able to maintain as a church over the next three-year lease term. Please pray and discuss this with each other. When I have a copy of the new lease I will confirm these numbers. Our 20th anniversary as a church will be January 31, 2008.
