THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

During our Galatians sermon series, I have tried tobetter explain FREEDOM. How appropriate to doso during the month we recognize our nationalfreedom. We have discovered that there isfreedom in grace and that because of Jesus thereis freedom from our past. Today I will speak on

the theme of freedom from the Law. Because ofthe blood of Jesus, freedom cannot only be foundbut also experienced. Just as we thanked God thismonth for those who fought for our nationalfreedom, may we never tire thanking God for Hisonly Son who freed us from the bondage of our sinand the constraints of the Law. God is so good!

On August 4th, we are designating our second

service as a Family Worship. Hannah and I willboth take part on bringing instruction during theservice, she to the children and I to the adults. Thisought to be a lot of fun, so please plan to join us onthis day of celebrating family.

Also on August 4th, our evening service will befamily friendly. Our time together will be held in thefellowship hall as we share in devotions,communion and a movie. We will provide thepopcorn, you can provide the drink. Please bringiced tea, 2 litre of pop, or lemonade. We hope youjoin us for this evening of fellowship.

During the remainder of our Sunday eveningservices in August, we will have special guestswho will deliver the message and share with usabout their mission and their service to the Lord.

I want to ask for your continued prayer support asthe leadership seeks to make tough decisionsconcerning how we can better reach ourcommunity for Christ. May we be the conscience ofour community and may Christ be glorifiedbecause we are faithful.

In His Service,

Brad

Last week at Sunday Night Live, we

learned about The Armor of God. AsChristians, we are always on the battle

field. Every day is a war we must figh

against sin and temptation. Thankfully

God has given each and every one of u

a suit of armor to keep us safe. Belt of

Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness

sandals of Peace, Shield of Faith

Helmet of Salvation and Sword of theSpirit which is the Bible. And Prayer i

what Holds it all together! Thank you

Lord, for your Protection!

Ephesians 6:10-18

How Can I Respond Today?

At FACC we look to the Bible for guidance on all

issues. We believe that Gods Word is clear

concerning what a person must do to become a

Christian.

Trust that Jesus can bring you to salvation. Turn (repent) from the sin in your life. Confess your desire to make Jesus the Lord

of your life. Be baptized (immersed) in water for the

forgiveness of sins and to receive the Holy

Spirit into your life.

To make this li fe decision for Chri st, we ask that you

come forward during our commitment songat the

conclusion of the Sunday message. Bapti zed believers

are welcome to become membersat FACC by coming

forward on Sunday morning or by seeing our Senior

Minister to discuss this further. We ask that you

complete a series of Curious classesto help you

better understand what you are committing to as amember.
