Sharing the Gospel Despite the Weather

Sharing the Gospel Despite the Weather

Dear Church Family,

All three congregations meeting at the East Ridge locations are being blessed. I think we are being blessed the most.

Last Saturday and Sunday, the Chennault Air show took place. We had plans to distribute Gospel tracts and New Testaments provided by the Gideons. The weather forecasts were for 60-80% rain and it stormed both mornings. Many of us were praying for God to clear the skies. He did! Both days! We were able to accomplish our mission. We are praising God for answering the prayers, clearing the skies, the opportunity and for those who gave of their time and energy to take the Gospel to so many people. Now, we pray for those into whose hands we shared The Word.

Sunday was a great day with the baptism of Penelope Jones, a full house and a very moving choir special. The worship was real. The Lord was present. The people were blessed. Sunday night Brother David brought a good message and we worshiped the Lord with the Lord’s Supper/Communion.

This week, First Baptist of Lake Charles is conducting Vacation Bible School Monday – Wednesday mornings in our building. It is a blessing to be a blessing to others.

Please pray and if possible, join us as we have a Prayer-Walk in a near-by neighborhood this Saturday at 10am.

God is doing great things among His people.

We love you. See you Sunday.

Bro Alan

We all have places, situations, relationships, and We all have places, situations, relationships, and moments where we’re more vulnerable to temptation. Don’t wait until temptation arrives to decide what you’ll do.

Put safeguards in place. And sometimes, the most spiritual thing you can do is simply walk away.
You are no longer a slave, you are a son or daught You are no longer a slave, you are a son or daughter and an heir of God through Christ

The gospel doesn’t just forgive your sins, it gives you a new identity and a place in God’s family

“Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” — Galatians 4:7

Sin promises satisfaction, but it never delivers w Sin promises satisfaction, but it never delivers what it promises. What looks like pleasure can quickly become shame. What feels like fulfillment can leave us emptier than before.

Satan’s strategy hasn’t changed. He promises pleasure but delivers bondage. He promises fulfillment but leads us toward destruction.

None of us would choose the painful chapters of ou None of us would choose the painful chapters of our lives. But God can redeem what He doesn't remove.

You don't need a perfect past to be used by God. Your testimony isn't that life became easier after you repented. Your testimony is that Christ remained faithful after you repented.
Sometimes we pray because we want God to change ou Sometimes we pray because we want God to change our circumstances.

And sometimes He changes us instead.

David prayed even when the answer seemed unlikely. He prayed because he knew God was merciful, and because time spent in God's presence is never wasted.

Whatever you're carrying today, keep praying.

“The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:7

God may not always change the situation, but He will never waste the time you spend depending on Him.

Sometimes the consequences of our past remain long Sometimes the consequences of our past remain long after the guilt has been forgiven.

But consequences are not condemnation.

If you are in Christ, there is no condemnation. Your past does not change God's love for you, and your scars do not mean He has abandoned you.

You may still have to walk through the consequences, but you don't have to walk through them alone.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1

Christ has already paid the penalty. Now trust Him with the process of shaping you through what remains.
