For this year’s retreat day, Friendship ladies ordered lunch, grabbed their Bibles, and headed for a barn venue in Willow Spring. Sharon Battig, creator of the “Simply Blessed” Bible study method, had traveled from Ohio to explain its development and to walk us through the process, using the first two verses of Philippians 1. Our […]
A decorated United States Air Force Colonel, Steve Martin keeps a plaque on his desk given to him by his grandmother with his life verses: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Whether […]
Prayer is communicating with God. In its simplest definition, prayer is talking to God. I would say that prayer is talking to God about what is important to God and what is important to me. Prayer is where we invite God into our everyday lives. People talk about having a “personal relationship with God”; I don’t think that a person can say that without a consistent prayer life.
One of my favorite services since I was a youngster (and that’s a loooong time ago) is the Easter Sunrise service. Not every church where we’ve ministered or attended has had this service, and we’ve also seen variety in the way it is conducted. While getting up extra early is not the part I enjoy […]
No doubt many of you did as I did last Friday afternoon and watched the livestreaming of the funeral service for Evangelist Billy Graham, who just passed at the age of 99. He was known for decades as “America’s Pastor.” Thousands came to Christ through his preaching and writings – including some in our church. […]
As I write this, we are exactly two months into 2018. For many people, that means that you are two months into your journey, adventure, or possibly failure (hopefully not!) of what many people call “New Year’s resolutions.” New Year’s resolutions have become synonymous with humor because, in so many cases, the enthusiasm that comes […]
After Becky Reece attended the Friendship ladies retreat last summer, followed by the Bible study “Adorned” which encourages women to purposefully invest in others’ lives, an idea was born. She set out to open her home twice a month to ladies of Friendship, from young moms to seasoned grandmas, to offer a place of fun […]
Missions Conference is one of the highlights of the year at Friendship Baptist Church, and it is quickly approaching! Missions Conference will be slightly different this year. You will find several ways to participate listed below: Pray That the Lord will be glorified through the week of the conference and that it will be a […]
While it is easy for us to find our identity in what we do, I am so thankful that earning God’s acceptance is not based on my performance, but based on the perfect performance of Jesus Christ. His love for me is not based on a job title, but based on my being His child. And as His child, I often choose temporal over eternal investments, yet God’s love for me remains the same. And I have found that the motivating desire to invest in the eternal is birthed out of the knowledge that God will accept and love me even if I fail.
We strive for a God-focused approach to all our music. Does the text and music explicitly reveal truth about God in what it says? Does it point to the Gospel as the only hope for man? Does it accurately proclaim truth? Does the music further implicitly reflect God’s goodness, order, beauty, holiness, and righteousness?
