Dear Church Family,Welcome to Bible Center. Thanks
for coming today. We are launching forth into fall on its first day…in worship. There is a great hymn that extols God’s faithfulness and notes how the passing seasons provide a fresh opportunity to see God’s faithfulness. God has certainly been faithful to Bible Center Church. We meet together today again to approach Him. Our joy is made more full because you are with us today.
This morning, we look at the care celebrated in Jesus’ small group. He loved His small group (the disciples). Love moves people and organizations forward. Love acts and shapes people’s lives. We have been touched by God’s great love for us in Christ. We are working on responding in-kind at Bible Center. Our Community Groups are being launched, in part, to raise the specter of care. Our culture uses a negative phrase “I couldn’t care less.” At Bible Center, we are working to “care more!” Join a Community Group…and link up in this work with us.
Have you ever known of a family with heartache over a child? King David knew the trauma. Tonight, we go through the saga of Absalom’s rebellious coup…and chart a way forward for us.
Also tonight, we welcome Roger Doriot, one of our global partners. He will share briefly in our evening service about his involvement in a project with Wycliffe Bible Translators.
Big Day! Welcome to fall…may God crown it with blessing for you!
Keep Going,
Eric MountsSenior Pastor
