I'm crazy excited about Sunday at EFBC, and I hope you are, too! I know there will be a lot of celebrating after the answered prayers we've witnessed this week with Frieda! God's still in the miracle-working business, and I'm so glad we've seen His hand at work again in the life of our church! Frieda's CaringBridge sight was updated this morning, and you can click here to read it.
This Sunday I'll be finishing up our I'd Rather Not Talk About... series, and we're going to look at the "O" word. The message is entitled I'd Rather Not Talk About Obedience, and we'll be looking at 1 John 5:1-3.
I hope you'll plan on being here. I hope you'll be praying for lives to be changed. I hope you'll come expecting God to show up in a HUGE way. And I hope you'll keep expecting God to do greater things, because the best is yet to come!

Hope For The Hurting
I'm writing this week from Children's Camp in Millerville. So far we've had a great time. The kids have all been really good, and God has kept everybody safe. I'm really excited about tonight's (Thursday) chapel time. That's always the highlight of camp for me!
I'm also really excited about this Sunday at EFBC! I'll be preaching a message from Job 23:8-10, and the message will be entitled I'd Rather Not Talk About Pain. Most folks would prefer to not talk about it, but let's face it: pain is a part of life. My prayer is that this message will offer hope for those who are hurting.
That's about all for this week. Supper's almost ready, and for those of you who've been here to the "Coop Camp," you know that's always a good thing! Tonight's menu includes chicken fingers! We'll be home Friday night, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you on Sunday morning as we come together as the church to lift high the name of Jesus!
THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!

Wow...Just Wow
I can think of no other word to describe our Vacation Bible School this week here at EFBC! God has been blessing our socks off, and we've still got ONE MORE NIGHT TO GO! We've averaged right at 130 children each night, not counting the fifty plus workers. The kids are having a great time, and learning a lot about the Bible at the same time. Please pray for me and the children tonight, as I will be sharing the Gospel with them.
Looking ahead to Sunday, I'm out of my mind excited about what God has in store for us! Sunday morning is going to be one that you'll never forget; I can promise you that! We're going to continue the series we began last week entitled I'd Rather Not Talk About... This Sunday we're going to be covering another subject that most folks would prefer not to talk about: Death. Our scripture is Hebrews 9:27-28. All I can tell you is that it will be memorable and this is one you don't want to miss!
Sunday night's going to be memorable, as well. Think about it for a moment: What if all the kids we've had in Bible School showed up for commencement, and their parents, and their grandparents, and all of our regular Sunday night folks! This could be one of the largest crowds we've ever had in our sanctuary! We're already making plans for some of the kids to be sitting in the choir loft and in chairs. When we get all those children in here, and their families, and our church members, it's going to be AWESOME!!!
So let me encourage you to be praying about Sunday at EFBC! God's working, lives are being changed, and I don't have to tell you cause you already know that THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

I'd Rather Not Talk About...
Is anybody besides me excited about what God is doing and is going to do here at EFBC! I'm more pumped now than I've ever been! And with Sunday morning worship now just a little over 48 hours away, my intensity level is rising by the minute!
I'm super excited about this Sunday because I'll be starting a new sermon series entitled I'd Rather Not Talk About..., and I believe it's going to be AWESOME! You know how there's certain things that most people tend to not want to talk about? Well, guess what? We're going to talk about them! Week one's message is entitled I'd Rather Not Talk About Hell, and the scripture we'll be looking at is Luke 16:19-31. If you've got friends or family that don't know Jesus, do your best to GET THEM HERE this Sunday!
One other thing that's brought my excitement level through the roof is we're now just a few days away from Vacation Bible School! Saddle Ridge Ranch starts on Monday, and I can't wait to see how God's going to work through this year's VBS! I believe God's got HUGE things in store for us this year! Don't forget that tomorrow we'll be decorating beginning at 9 a.m. We'd love to have your help!
Sunday night we'll be talking about Saddle Ridge Ranch in our evening worship service. I'll be sharing about the things our kids are going to be learning next week. We'll also have a special time to pray for Bible School, the workers and the children they'll be leading. We could have the best planned, best staffed, and best decorated VBS in the country, but without prayer it would be a disaster. Please commit to pray for Bible School!
Proverbs 16:3 - Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. (NIV)
God's got greater things in store for us! I hope you're ready, 'cause THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!

The True Source Of Liberty
Today's Sunday Preview will be brief...I'm really squeezed on time today. This Sunday our country will be celebrating its 234th birthday, and what better way to begin your Fourth than coming to worship our Savior who has set us free! My message for Sunday is about Jesus, and it's entitled The True Source Of Liberty. The text is Luke 4:16-21.
I'm really excited about worship this Sunday. We'll begin our service with something a little different, and we'll definitely be celebrating our freedoms as Americans. But most of all, we're going to celebrate Jesus! I hope you'll be here!
The best is yet to come!
