A Word From the Pastor
 

Daniel Harmon did a great job of presenting the truth in love this past Sunday. I am so proud of Daniel as I am sure you are as well. He is doing an incredible job in ministry, and I pray that God will continue to use him to preach the Gospel with boldness, passion and conviction.

 

This coming Sunday, we will cover part 2 of From Religion to a Relationship. Our text will cover John 9:13-41. Getting kicked out of religion was the greatest thing that ever happened to this man who had been blind from birth. For in getting kicked out of religion, he entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ. This message will be a great follow-up to the message preached by Daniel this past Sunday. As you study through the text this week, keep in mind the points from Daniel's sermon from Matthew 15:1-9.

 

Evidences that you love religion but have never been transformed by the Gospel.

 
 

1.   You focus on trivial issues rather than concentrating on that which really matters.(Matthew 15:2) 

2.       You judge others, but you are not willing to examine yourselves. (Matthew 15:2)

3.       You honor tradition above God. (Matthew 15:3-6)

4.       You have no integrity. (Matthew 15:7-8)

5.       Your worship is insincere. (Matthew 15:9a)

6.       You substitute the true Gospel with a false gospel. (Matthew 15:9b)

 

As you read our text in John, you will be able to identify these same principles with those who loved religion more than Christ. As you read through John 9, notice how the man is different who has been transformed by the Gospel.

 

As we prepare for Sunday, I would like to ask you to take some special time to pray for me and my preparation as well as taking special time to pray for our worship service. We are in such a great need of an outpouring from God.  

 

Expecting great things,

Pastor Tim

The Book of James / Wednesday nights, 6:30

Led by Don Lourcey

Room 121

 

   We are often enticed to buy-in to society's view of success, beauty, relationships and happiness. To the world, truth is whatever we believe it to be, in other words, truth is relative, defined by emotions and experiences. Because the world competes for our attention, we as believers struggle with authentic, genuine Christian living; we struggle with THE truth; we struggle with being double-minded. Christian living is not a drive in neutral but living out in truth what we believe and profess as it aligns to God's Truth. The letter of James is a "how-to" book on Christian living. James says that it is not enough to talk the Christian faith, but we must live it. This 12 week study in the Book of James will help answer the questions. "If we say we believe like we should, then why do we behave like we shouldn't? James offers practical wisdom to life faithfully, authentically, and obediently.

 

Nurturing Your Marriage II / Wednesday, 6:30

Led by Cindy Tucker

Room 104

 

   Nurturing Your Marriage II is a continuation of the study from last winter for women (married and engaged) to encourage and strengthen our role in the marriage relationship as God intended. Our goal is to live as a godly woman no matter what the response or the outcome, it's choosing to stay the course. You did not have to attend the first session to participate in this session.

   Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. I Corinthians 13:4-8

 

Parenting by The Book / Wednesday, 6:30

Led by Walt Meadors

Creative Worship Arts Room

 

  Think of an elaborate jigsaw puzzle. You can tell from all the different designs and colors that completing it will be a challenge. There are few other things you need to know before you start the project. The border pieces have all been removed. I know it's easier to start a jigsaw puzzle by putting the edge pieces together first. That gives you an early sense of accomplishment before you move on to the difficult stuff. Forgot to mention that someone threw in some pieces from a different puzzle into the box. They may look like they belong to this one, but they don't. They won't fit no matter how hard you try. Ready to start? You probably can figure it out. All you need is the picture on the box cover and you can begin. Oops! I forgot to tell you that the cover to the box has been lost. You're going to have to guess what the picture puzzle is supposed to look like. Doesn't this sound like fun? Not really. It's tough enough when you have all the right pieces, all the edge pieces and the picture on the box. Take all those things away and it's anybody's guess what you will come up with.

   Sound familiar? Welcome to the parenting puzzle. The above example aptly describes the job of raising children. "Raising children is the single greatest thing you will ever do. You have been handed a piece of history in advance, a gracious gift you will send to a time you will not see and you (the parent) play the biggest role in how that history will ultimately be recorded". (take from Grace based Parenting)

   You need a plan for parenting that works and has stood the test of time - The Book; The Bible. God's instruction guide to parenting. Come join us on Wednesday nights and develop your plan for raising your children while not completely exasperating you.

 

PLACE / Sunday, 5:30

Led by Michelle Lourcey

Room 112

 

  Find your PLACE! This small group is more than finding a "place of service" in the church -- it is finding the "right" place of service based on your personality, spiritual gifts and life experiences. Even if you have served the Lord in ministry for years, you can still learn so much from PLACE. This is a journey to find out how God has knitted you together to best serve HIM!

 

P - Personality Discovery

L - Learning Spiritual Gifts

A - Abilities Assessment

C - Connecting Passion with ministry

E - Experiences of Life

 

   Our responsibility is to help you find the way that God has knitted you together . "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5

 

Book of Jonah / Sunday, 5:30

Led by Pastor Marvin

Room 121

 

   Last semester, the "Jonah class" got as far as verse 13 of the first chapter. We will continue from there after a review of the earlier verses. Just as Jonah will be going into the depths, so the class will be going as deep into the Word as they can. Anyone wishing to participate is welcome to do so even if they were not in the previous class.

 

Victoriously Frazzled / Sunday, 5:30 

Led by Dixie Hare

Room 104

 

   "Our God is a frazzle-friendly God! Not only will He enter into our stressful circumstances, He longs to be there to bring His relief, comfort and joy." These are the opening words of "Victoriously Frazzled" and eight week light-hearted, Bible-based course for ladies of all ages. Sessions include: Frazzle Friendly, Control Freaks and I'm Getting Old.

 

College and Career / Sunday 5:30

Led by Tim Stutts

Location: TBA

 

   George Barna estimates that over the last 10 years, 8 million adults in their twenties have left the church. That statement hits me like a ton of bricks. My heart is broken over the number of young adults who no longer find church to be an essential part of their life.  My prayer is that we will see in a change in that trend at Front Street Baptist Church.  College and Career ministry is one area where the vast majority of churches are struggling. I believe God has called me and given me a passion for this age group in our church.

 

   We are still in the early stages of planning, but right now we are looking at gathering on Sunday nights at 5:30. At this point, I am working to secure us a place to meet each week.

 

   If you are a college freshman or a college veteran, this is a place for you. If you just started a new career or have a few years of experience behind you, this will be a great for you as well. We have several people who also feel called to this ministry that will be investing in the lives of these young adults. If this is an area that interest you, please contact Tim at tim@frontstreet.org to discuss opportunities for involvement.

 New Church Year Begins! 

Our new church year begins in September.  Children and Youth will move up into their new Sunday School classes on September 6.  The children will be going directly to their classrooms beginning in September, rather than beginning in the Fellowship Hall. The youth need to begin in the youth room on the 6th, and they'll be directed to their classrooms from there.

 Attention All Ladies!

The Faithful Friends Sunday School Class
is planning a
 
Fall Kick-Off Breakfast
 
Sunday, August 30 at 8:45 a.m. on the 3rd Floor
 
If you are not already committed to a class,
you are warmly invited to meet with us.
 
 

Celebrate Recovery News.......

 

Let me start by saying a heartfelt Thank you to our sister, Bobbie James, for sharing a personal and powerful testimony last Monday. WOW.   Also, we hope you Don't miss the Celebrate Recovery Picnic at Stumpy Creek on Lake Norman this Saturday, August 29 11:00 - 4:00.  We will be celebrating with three other churches with Celebrate Recovery programs; Southside Baptist in Mooresville, Catawba Heights in Belmont and Front Street.    We will have hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and all the works. Bring a dessert to share.   Live music, horse shoes, boat rides and, of course, lots of love, hugs and praise for what God has done in our lives!   That's why it's called CELEBRATE RECOVERY! 

 

On Monday, August 31, Dan will lead us in a Bible study  on TURN, where we discuss howwe learn to turn our lives and our wills over to Christ's care & control.   This lesson will focus on Romans 12:1,  "Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.   This is your spiritual act of worship."  We will discuss that we must first commit and surrender our lives to the true higher power, Jesus Christ, and then we are able to run over our wills to Him.  

 

We encourage you to come to CR and check it out.   You'll be glad you did.  This mission is much needed by our community.  If you want to practice GRACISM, as we have been discussing in our Sunday Schools, this is a great place to begin!

 
MISSIONS OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL CHURCH MEMBERS!
 
 
The Lifewalk for the Pregnancy Resource Center of Statesville will be held on Saturday, September 19th, with registration beginning at 8:30 am and the walk starting at 9:15 am.  This is a 2 mile walk to be held at First Baptist Church and we need walkers of all ages.  Walkers as young as 6 may sign up on their own and get their own pledges.  After the walk, there will be a light brunch and prizes will be awarded.  Because this is one of our Jerusalem missions, we would love to have a large representation from Front Street this year.  Adults can sign up with Kisha Clark and youth and children can sign up with Madison Clark.  For additional information, call 704-878-9036.

Do you have news and announcements for Sunday Morning? If so, please send them to: news@frontstreet.org or call the church office by Thursday morning of that week.

THANK YOU: 
To the Members of Front Street Baptist Church,
 
We wish to thank all of you for thoughtfulness and kindness shown to us during the loss of Frances.  Thanks for all your prayers, your kind words and times spent with Frances.  She certainly loved her church and her church "family".  She will certainly be missed but she is finally at home.
 
Thank you for the most delicious meal you served to us.  It was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by everyone.  Thanks for everything.
 
God Bless Each of You,
Jim and Barbara Kyles 
 
To my Church Family at Front Street Baptist Church,
 
I sincerely appreciate all the cards, calls, visits, gifts, flowers and the many prayers that were lifted up to God during my recent illness and surgery.  The recovery is slow but I know you are continuing to pray for me.  The pathology report was benign and we thank God for that report.  I thank God you providing me with a prayerful church.  Thank you for all you have done.

Your Association of 73 Churches ministers every year to the carnie workers that comes to the fair to work. This year the fair is September 6-12.

 

Now is the time to volunteer. We serve 2 meals a day, give hair cuts, serve snacks, give everyone a Bible, and tell them about Jesus. The whole point is to lead the lost to Christ.  Your SYBAssociation built a beautiful shelter in August at the fair ground to house this ministry. You are needed! Please volunteer and be a part of this rewarding ministry.  Call for more information. Call Sandra Harrison at 704-873-4372 ext.6 or Mary Jane Hoover at 704-873-4372-ext.3.

We are looking for volunteers to add to our current list to diligently pray during the worship hour specifically for the Sunday morning service.  Singles, couples, families and prayer partners are encouraged.  The commitment is for one Sunday every 4 to 6  months.  Please contact the office at 704-872-7623 or email  info@frontstreet.org.

Do you ever wish you could see your child dedicated or baptized again? 
 
Have you ever participated in a service and want to remember it forever? 
 
Was the sermon so memorable that you want to see the Pastor preach it again and again?
 
Good News!  DVDs of our worship services are now available!  For a cost of $5.00 each, you can now obtain a copy of any service.  (Our archives go back about six months.)  Just contact the church office and pay $5.00 in advance.
