Sunday at Grace
Dear Church Family and Friends,
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Sermon Series
“Doubting Thomas's”
John 20:24-29
Sermon Series
“Doubting Thomas's”
John 20:24-29
Have you ever doubted God?
Have you ever doubted that God's word is totally reliable?
Do you know, without a doubt, that you are saved and destined for heaven?
At some level, doubting is common to all of us. Yet, Thomas was saddled with the handle “Doubting Thomas.” Actually, it was Augustine, not Jesus, who gave Thomas his dubious distinction as chief of all doubters. Augustine said, “He doubted in order to believe.”
I think Augustine meant that doubting for Thomas was a pathway to greater faith. Anyway, we are going to examine what the Bible has to say about DOUBT as presented in the case of Thomas. I hope to see you and rejoice with you in the truth that Jesus is greater than any doubt or any misgiving we may have.
I am so thrilled that our Students have agreed to memorize 15 Bible verses this year. I believe we should call their efforts to “...hide the word of God in their hearts” (Psalm 119:11):

Scripture Memory
Honor Roll
This is a big deal! It should be memorialized with the names of our students who complete this achievement recorded in the historical record of our church. Each student will deserve to be recognized. Our church family will be called on to honor them by presenting each one with an appropriate symbol about what they have accomplished.
The work starts this Sunday evening during the Student Led Worship Encounter. Students will be given their memory assignments which will challenge them to memorize at least one memory verse, sometimes two, per month. They will be asked to recite their verses before their peers and occasionally before the entire church family. Memory verses will be categorized according to life needs and questions young people face in their daily lives. Through this memory process, our students will have scripture verses handy they can remember that will help them deal with the daily situations they face. I can't wait to get started.

Sundays Are Great At Grace
Welcome to Grace Baptist Church. Of all the names given to churches everywhere, the name chosen by this congregation over 50 years ago says everything about the heart of God whom we serve. God's purpose of Grace was in His heart before sin was ever in the heart of man.
Grace expresses the eternal purpose of God to redeem us from our sins: "For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8, NASV). Grace is the glorious display of God' sovereign goodness.
The character of Grace Baptist Church is not only conveyed in the gospel we preach, but in the manner by which God's amazing grace is shown through our fellowship and sharing with others. Our church is committed to not only proclaim the message of God's amazing grace, but also to show it by the way we live for Jesus every day. We truly want to be people who are filled with God's grace and freely give it away.
We invite you and your family to come attend our services and see if we are the people we propose to be. Better yet, come join with us and help us become more and more a people who are like what our name says we are, "...much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:17b, NASV)
I pray God's grace for you. It will abundantly save you through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:7, NASV). God's amazing grace will bless your life, your family and friends, as you daily live for Jesus. I look forward to seeing and greeting you soon in the name of Jesus. "...Grace be with you" (Colossians 4:18).
