INTO THE WORD
“Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
Psalm 119:11
Never have we as followers of Christ been in greater need of hiding God’s Word in our hearts. When it’s not my body but my heart that is aching, I long for the comfort of God’s Word: soothing words like, “Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1Peter 5:7); assuring words that nothing can “separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
As Director of Christian Education, I am inviting you to join us on Sunday, January 31, to seek God in His remarkable Word! This will be a step to saturate our minds with God’s truth so that our lives will conform to His ways. God’s chosen way of coming to us is through a Word, a word sounded in the ears of the prophets and psalmists, in the fullness of time was incarnate in Jesus Christ, was heard and spoken by the apostles, and of which the record is preserved for us in the Scriptures. Through that record, the Word that was once heard and spoken sounds ever anew into the life of the world. God speaks to us through the Scriptures a word of judgment and mercy.
We here at First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill know that the Bible is filled with promises, reminders, challenges, and knowledge of God. When we were feeling discouraged, we relied on the living, powerful Word of God (Hebrews 4:12). Let’s come together praising Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Scriptures!
Our special guest speaker will be ReGina Etter. Music will be rendered by our own organist and keyboardist, Terrance Brown.
This “Hour of Power” will start promptly at 8:30 a.m. Don’t let anything keep you away from praising our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, January 31. He has done great things.
Patricia Rowe Lane
Director of Christian Education
