TRANSCRIPT
From the Desk of Pastor Tom...
As I write this article Sylvia and I are in Atlanta with our daughter and family as she recovers from a stroke. She has
completely recovered from the stroke relates issues and will now be seeing a stroke neurologist to find answers to the
cause of her stroke and a plan to eliminate future strokes. We cannot thank you enough for the love, support, and prayers
that you have lifted to the Lord for her and us. You will never know the comfort and peace that was ours knowing that we had so many people praying for her recovery. Again we appreciate every prayer and word of encouragement that you have
shared for us and with us! May the favor of the Lord be yours in abundance!
I believe that God is using the talent emphasis in a very special way in our church. The first and most obvious thing is that we are raising funds to build our new children’s building. I can’t wait to see how much money we will raise for this
project. Second, there is a renewed excitement and unity that has surfaced as we work together for a common goal.
That is beautiful to see and I am looking forward to seeing how God can use this for His glory and praise. Unity is the
most precious commodity in the church and it is wonderful to see us coming together more deeply in Christ.
The talent emphasis is coming to a close this month. The day of increase will be on Sunday, May 22. You can turn your
“talent” in to the church at any point through that date. You can just designate on your offering envelope that the enclosed
funds go to the “Talent Emphasis” and it will be posted to the “Building for the Future Fund.” Even if your talent extends
beyond that day give what you have so that we can see in concrete figures how God has multiplied our talent. I am so excited about what God is doing and the funds that are being raised! The results are going to be supernatural!
Many of you have expressed to me the excitement you feel at FBCLH! I sense it as well and I know through faith that
God is up to something big in His church. I know that you will keep praying and working toward that end. It is a joy to be
your pastor!
In Christ, Pastor Tom

A Mother's Day Prayer For You
May you have al l the joy your heart can hold'
Al l the smiles a day can bring'
Al l the blessings a life can unfold'
May you have God's best in everything!
Have a Wonderful Day!
The blessing of the Lord be upon you. Psalm 129:8 KJV
Fear of Lack
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at
work within us.” (Ephesians 3:20)
God has accomplished amazing feats with our “Talent Drive” here at FBCLH thus far! He has far exceeded my
expectations, and He knows exactly what we need for the Building Fund. At the staff yard sale the other Saturday
I had originally expected that we would make $500, but He had other plans and we made well over $1,000.
“God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to
share with others” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT) I look forward to how God’s church here at FBCLH will share with
others and spread the Gospel and love of Jesus Christ! I pray He will surpass our expectations.
I am also excited to have our next “Gospel Celebration” on May 15th at 6 P.M. It promises to be another awesome time
singing the songs that are built upon the Solid Rock of Jesus. It will be a great time! Also on May 29th is the Memorial Day
Worship Service. We truly are blessed to live where we live and have brave men and women that are willing to protect
our freedom and way of living. We need to keep them in our prayers, as well as the families that their loved ones have paid the ultimate
price.
In His Service, Pastor Daniel
See you this week and bring a
friend.
I have been reading and
studying John 14:1-15 over
the last several weeks and this
has given me a fresh
perspective on the deity of
Jesus. I hear documentaries
and read various articles from
time to time from liberal
scholars who try to accentuate
the humanity of Jesus and
diminish the reality of His
deity. These scholars state that
Jesus never claimed to be God
in the Bible and that He was
merely a good moral man. Jesus
did live a perfect and sinless life
so I agree with them concerning
His goodness and morality.
However, our faith would be
useless if He were just a man.
The apostle John in the 14th
chapter of his gospel conveys
the deity of Jesus spoken
directly from our Lord’s mouth.
In verse 6 Jesus affirms His
deity with His “I am” statement
putting Him equal with God the
Father because the Old
Testament refers to God as “I
am.” Jesus says “I am the way,
and the truth, and the life” this
is number 5 of 7 metaphorical
“I am” statements found within
John’s gospel (6:35, 48, 51;
8:12; 9:5; 10:7, 9; 10:11, 14;
11:25; 14:6; 15:1). There are
also 5 absolute (6:20; 8:24,
28, 58; 18:5) “I am”
statements where Jesus actually
refers to Himself as “I am.”
When critics make false claims
about Jesus and our Bible, let
the word of God defend itself.
Notes from the
Stand
May is such an exciting month
for our children as they
approach the end of the
school year and SUMMER fun
begins! It is a time when the
flowers are blooming and joy
seems to fill the air. This month, our Awana
ministry is coming to a close. This time allows
our teachers and volunteers to rest and prepare
for the coming school year. I strongly urge you
to come out to support each of our children
during our Awana Awards Night on May 25th.
Food will be served and our children will be
rewarded for all their hard work this past year.
If we, as Christians, show them our support at
church, then maybe they will not search the rest
of the world for less spiritual attention.
ARRRmor of God: Last month, our children attended an overnight camp at
Camp Tree Top located near Hwy 20 and Hwy 77. The kids learned the first half
of the series titled “The Armor of God”. The children focused on Ephesians 6:11
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can stand against the devil's schemes.”
They learned about the helmet of salvation and about the shield of faith and
breastplate of righteousness. The children also enjoyed playing games, fishing,
exploring the camp, and building friendships.
VBS: Kids who have completed Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to
become divers for the week of VBS and embark on an adventure like no other,
scouring the mysterious fathoms of the deep sea. While at Submerged, kids will
discover that Jesus sees them, knows them, and came to be their Savior. He
doesn't just see what's on the outside; He sees who people are under the surface.
So be sure to mark your calendars and bring your children, grandchildren, friends,
and neighbors. When: June 26th-30th from 5 - 8 p.m. Meals will be served for
volunteers and children from 5:00 - 5:25 p.m. Nursery is available for
children of VBS Teachers/Volunteers only! (Infants-Preschool age)
