This week's Sunday preview will be a quick one:
I'm INCREDIBLY EXCITED about this weekend at EFBC! Message four in the Are We Living In The Last Days? series will be this Sunday morning. The Bridegroom Is Coming is the title of this message, and we'll be looking at John 14:1-3 (as well as a host of other scriptures). I hope you'll plan on being here!
I realize the last two sermons have been pretty deep, and maybe hard to follow at times. Studying history and its relation to prophecy isn't always easy, but it's so worth it! This Sunday's message should be much easier to follow, so I hope you haven't given up on this series. I believe God has great things in store for us this weekend at EFBC!
Jesus is LORD! He's coming again! And the best is yet to come!!!

The Last World Empire
Amazing! Incredible! Unbelievable! Wow! Those are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think about this past Wednesday night at EFBC! Little Panther Day was a huge success, and I want to tell everybody who helped out, "THANK YOU!!!" We had over 250 people here, and got to meet a whole bunch of new folks. I believe we'll see major fruit from this in the coming days and weeks!
Tonight's another big event, as we'll be having a 5th Quarter immediately following the Wellborn/Leeds game. Let's pray for God to show up in a HUGE way! We've seen Him work at these events in the past, and I can't wait to see what He has in store for us tonight! And by the way...GO PANTHERS!
And we're now just 48 hours away from Sunday morning at EFBC! I can't even begin to describe to you how excited I am about gathering together as the church and worshiping Jesus! This Sunday we'll continue our series entitled Are We Living In The Last Days? This Sunday's message, The Last World Empire, will be the third in this series and will be taken from Daniel 2. We'll also be looking at some parallel passages in Daniel 7.
This Sunday's message will prove once again just how miraculous the Bible really is, and that it truly is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God. This sermon will also show how we've seen Bible prophecy fulfilled in our own lifetimes...right before our eyes! These are extraordinary times we are living in, and I believe we're living in the very last of the last days!
Are you ready? Do you know Him? If you do, then I can promise you that THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!

The Clock Is Ticking
We live in interesting times. Everywhere I look, it seems there are prophetic signs. The world seems to be in utter chaos, and yet we know by the authority of God's Word that He is totally in control. Is Jesus coming back in our lifetimes? I believe it's entirely possible, and more than that, I believe it is highly probable. But whether He returns in ten years or two hundred years isn't really the point. The point is that we should live every day as if it is our last, and make sure our spiritual bags are packed and ready.
This Sunday we'll continue the series we began last week entitled Are We Living In The Last Days? Last week we looked at some signs of the end times that Jesus gave us in Matthew 24. This week we're going to turn to the Old Testament and look at Daniel 9:24-27. The message this week is entitled The Clock Is Ticking, and I'm incredibly excited about looking at these ancient prophecies this Sunday morning at EFBC!
Let me encourage you to spread the word about this series. Lots of folks have questions about what they consider to be the "end of the world." Just last year, a movie came out based on predictions from the Mayan calendar that the world would end in the year 2012. Many people are searching for answers, and we've got much more than an ancient calendar left behind by an extinct civilization; we've got God's Word. The Bible has the answers; we just need to spread the message! So please, do everything you can to GET THEM HERE this Sunday!
Jesus is coming again. Are your spiritual bags packed? I hope you know Him, 'cause the BEST IS YET TO COME!

What Time Is It?
I'm crazy excited about this Sunday at EFBC, and I'll tell you why: I'm starting a new sermon series entitled Are We Living In The Last Days? Did you get a flyer in the mail recently about a seminar being held in Anniston on this same subject? I've had several people ask me about this, and I honestly had to tell them that I know nothing about this teacher and what he believes.
What I do know, however, is what the Bible teaches; and there seems to be a lot of interest in this given the events in our world today. That's why I'm REALLY excited about these messages. This series is going to be a thorough examination of where I believe we are in Bible prophecy, and what I believe we can expect to happen in the near future.
Let me encourage you to get the word out about this series. Invite your friends and loved ones, especially those who don't know Jesus. People are fascinated with Bible prophecy, and just might be interested enough to come to church for this series. My sermon for Sunday is entitled What Time Is It?, and we'll be looking at Matthew 24.
Jesus is coming again. Are you ready?

The One And Only
Before I jump into today's weekend preview, let me remind everyone to please keep praying for little Alexander, Bruce and Nikaa. They had a really long night, and they've still got a long way to go as Alexander still has another surgery to go through before they can come home. Please keep praying also for Susie, Therman, Frieda, Gary Mize and all the folks on our prayer list. Our God is bigger than all of the pain, sickness and disease that seem to be plaguing so many!
I'm so super pumped for this HUGE weekend that I can hardly stand it! It's already off to a great start as I got to speak to the football team and cheerleaders this morning at the prayer breakfast. I shared the story of Shammah from 2 Samuel 23:11-12. Long before there was a fictional character named Rambo, there was a REAL man named Shammah who took on the entire Philistine army and single-handedly defeated them. Of course, he wasn't really alone, because verse 12 tells us it was the Lord who brought about a great victory!
Tonight should be AWESOME as the first football game of the season kicks off on "The Hill" and is followed by our Fifth Quarter at Wellborn Park. I hope you can come and join us tonight. You may have to stay up a little (or a lot) later than normal, but I promise you it will be totally worth it. God really moved at last year's Fifth Quarter, and we're expecting even greater things this year!
And let's not forget about SUNDAY!!! I'm really excited about the message God has given me for Sunday entitled The One And Only. This sermon will be directed at two very different audiences: First, it will be for those who see Christianity as just one of many ways to get to God. This message will show how Jesus sets us apart from every other major religion in the world.
Second, this message will be for Christians who want to be better able to share their faith, but need some ammunition when it comes to defending it. It's important that we not just believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven; we need to know WHY He is the only way. In a world that seems to be caught up in the spirit of, "It doesn't matter which God you worship, just be sincere about it," we as the Body of Christ have a responsibility to warn them. It's our job to proclaim that Jesus is not one of many ways to get to heaven or even the best way to get to heaven; He's the ONLY WAY!
Are you ready for a BIG weekend EFBC? God's got greater things in store, He's not finished working in this church, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!
