G.R.O.W. Orientation Reaching Our Jerusalem in 2019

Sunday, January 27 at 4:00 PM

The Outreach Committee is offering an information session for those inter-

ested in learning more and/or participating in G.R.O.W. during 2019. This

one-hour meeting will occur Sunday, January 27 at 4:00 PM in the Minis-

try Center. Refreshments will be served. We ask G.R.O.W. team members

for a commitment of one night per month (first Mondays) for the next 12

months. Will you commit to being on this winning team of outreach in our

community?

Each believer purposing to grow

spiritually in 2019:

Pray over your commitment card this

week.

Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to one

or more specific commitment(s).

Be open to a "write-in" commitment

not mentioned on the card.

People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from

grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate

toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture,

faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward

compromise. D.A. Carson

February 3rd is “Consecration Sunday”

Small Beginnings,

Powerful Results

A recent video demonstrates the power unleashed by an

extremely small domino – only 5 mm tall and 1 mm thick –

in a series of dominos each of which is 1.5 times larger than

the previous. The smallest domino topples the adjacent

domino that is half again larger. Then this larger domino

knocks over the next domino which is 1.5 times larger still.

In the end, this small domino started a chain reaction which

brought down the 13th domino in the series weighing over

100 pounds! Small Beginnings, Powerful Results!

G.R.O.W. Team Orientation:

Sunday – January 27, 2019

“God Rewards Our Work” every month as missionaries go

to work in Headland through visiting, letter writing and

phone calling. We extend the love and message of Jesus

Christ right here in our Jerusalem on first Monday evenings.

Come check out this rewarding ministry this Sunday at

4:00 PM in the Ministry Center. Refreshments provided.

Our ‘divine appointments’ impact eternity! Your step of

commitment in God’s hands can bring about powerful

results for His glory!

Spiritual Growth Plan:

Consecration Day – February 3, 2019

We grow spiritually in becoming more like Christ by

intentionality. What commitment(s) are you prayerfully

considering for 2019? Be sure to fill out your commitment

cards – sign one to keep and bring one to present in worship

on February 3rd. One small step of commitment may well

begin a powerful chain reaction of spiritual growth in your

life, your family, our church and the world!

Men’s Retreat:

February 22-23, 2019

Two weeks ago, the men of First Baptist Church and

Greater Shiloh Baptist Church made small steps toward one

another in unity under Christ. We gathered for a men’s

breakfast together in Jesus’ name. The next ‘domino’ is a

Men’s Retreat combining the men’s ministries of both

churches. This is a historical moment in these churches and

in our community. Only God knows what powerful results

are ahead. Be sure to sign up and give your $30 deposit

soon.

We serve our Omnipotent God for whom nothing is too

difficult. Our small steps of obedience will cause powerful

results!

Change My Attitude by James MacDonald

10-Weeks Led by Mike Wehner; Book Cost: $10

What does God think about attitudes? This updated study

from James MacDonald uses examples from the Israelites’

whether someone stays in the wilderness or enjoys the

blessings of the promised land. Learn how you can put off

attitudes God hates and put on those He honors.

Biblical Prophecies Upon Nations Now

and in the End Times (Continues) 5-Weeks Led by Larry Dunagan

This study takes a detailed look at biblical prophecy as it

relates to nations now and in the future. Does biblical

prophecy speak to world events happening today? What

does prophecy say about the current world powers, the

Middle East, Asia, and Europe for the future? How is

God’s plan going to unfold for the Lord’s Second Com-

ing? The Bible through prophecy answers many questions.

and helps us discern His voice in everyday life.
