The first Sunday of the year.
What a beautiful sun shining morning for the first day of the week and the first Lord's day of 2026. It was a very cold but beautiful morning.
God blessed us with a first time visitor in SS and church. This young man was present Wednesday night for our film as well, but this was his first time in our church services. Please pray that God will help us to minister to him as he is a new believer as of May.
I enjoyed preaching a message on our church theme for 2026 which is, "Go on unto perfection." Yes, Southside Free Baptist Church desparately needs "perfect" believers - and - it is Biblical to seek perfection. (I'm tempted to leave it there and let you either listen in to the message or to study it out yourself.) The Bible has a lot to say about being, "perfect" or "perfection." However, it does not mean flawless, but does speak of being complete or mature. Would you please pray for God to bless our 2026 wilth significant spiritual growth in our church family?
Our attendance was not high. We had 3 families impacted by illness. (chicken pox in two cases and flu.) Hopefully, as the kids return to school, life will settle down for everyone and we will get back to better attendance. Thank you for praying for God's work at SFBC.
