Now is the time to give the Lord thanks for who He is and all He has done as we close Thanksgiving season and begin the Christmas worship season.
Nancy’s daughter Vicki Peterson Adkins is in Iraq and we are getting packages together for her for Christmas. We have already sent 3 packages. We have her mailing address and her email if you would like to send her a message. AT&T International phone cards, baby wipes, snacks and socks are also needed. We have a printed list of suggested items to send.
We will miss our Brother Owen Frisby. The Frisby family thanks the church for their support and comfort during last Sunday’s service.
Greg and Nancy will be at Sunrise Church this year for the Christmas presentation. The services for December 14 will be handled by Darrel, Lisa, Johnie, Dennis, Ron and anyone else they draft as volunteers. Enjoy the program at Sunrise on Saturday night the 13th and then come for the services here Sunday morning the 14th.

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Today’s Sermon
Ephesians Series: 6:10-17 The Armor of God
The very detailed and practical exhortations to husband/wife, child/parent and slave/master now broadens out to a more sweeping instruction; the word will be put to work in our lives by the power of the Spirit against the opposition, but only in the Lord’s strength and power. None of the practical exhortations in this letter could be put to work on their own. The “mighty power of God” will flow through us, not our own power.

TODAY’S WORSHIP
Lisa is in Fort Collins today

To God Be the Glory p. 66

When I Survey/The Wonderful Cross p. 185

Scripture Reading
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. Isaiah 61:10-11

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus p. 124

O Come All Ye Faithful p. 145

Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free

Pastor Greg A. Chandler
A local church that is Baptist in doctrine and unaffiliated with any national denomination. We have been worshiping the Lord since our forming in 1988. Some of our members have fellowshiped in this and a previous church for over 50 years. We are families who have come together to try to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We support 3 missionaries and try to help as many as we can while pursuing our prime directive as a church to teach the gospel and train followers of Christ. We welcome the utilization of the best translations of the Bible (we are not KJV-only) by each individual believer since each believer has the right to choose for himself in the freedom with which Christ has given.

Greg's Little Sayings

Church is on Sunday morning because of Saturday night
I'm doing the work of 3 men - Larry, Moe and Curly!
Most church folks don't mind having the wool pulled over their eyes, but they do mind getting fleeced! Courtesy Dennis Craig
This faith ministry is going down the tubes if you don't give!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Prophet's Meeting is cancelled tonight (Huh?)
If you let the dogs out, don't complain about the barking!
I saw a bumper sticker, “Nature is my church.” I guess he can’t get along with other folks
Those that blame God for suffering acknowledge there is a power greater than themselves; at least they're not atheists
On church arguments - it's always about control
Church is no more than a handrail on a set of stairs! Courtesy Johnie Jackson
We're not the worst church you'll ever attend!
Ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya!
When in doubt, sing!
If you’re feeling down and faithless, wait three days, you’ll feel better; in the meantime, clean something, at least you’ll be doing something good
It’s not just what you believe that matters; it’s how you hold what you believe
Humility: if you have to advertise it, you ain’t got it
When you’ve done all you can, have faith; oh, no, has it come to that?
