This
past Sunday I extended a challenge to read through the Gospels
over the next four weeks. This week we are reading through the
book of Matthew. As you read through each of the four Gospels,
ask the question, "What does Jesus expect from me as His
follower?"
Benefits
of Obedience -
John 21:1-14
Our
text for this coming Sunday is John 21:1-14. I cannot believe
we only have two more weeks in the book of John. In this
passage we find the disciples going back to what was
comfortable and familiar following the resurrection. Jesus
called out to them from the shore, telling them to cast their
nets on the other side. As they obeyed the Lord, their net
became too full to pull into the boat. As we study this
passage, I want us to take note of the benefits of obedience
to Christ.
Looking
forward to worshiping with you
Sunday!

How to Become Part of the
Front Street Family
First, we would like to thank
you for your interest in Front Street. Before becoming a
member, we feel that you should truly understand our heart and
vision before you join our church family, and the new member's
class is designed to help you have a clear understanding of
your new church family.
Please note that you are not
required to join Front Street after attending the New Member's
Class. In fact,
you will not be pressured in any way to join. We want to encourage
you to continue to seek God's will on whether He desires for
you to plant your life here with us.
The new member's class is a
four week class, held during the Sunday School hour. The next class will be
held in
April. Those
dates for the adult class or for the children's
class are April 11, 18, 25 and
May 2.
To sign up for the adult class (which includes
youth), or to sign your child up for the children's
class, please contact the church office at (704) 872-7623
or email Pastor Tim at tim@frontstreet.org.
