How Can We Pray

For You?

GIVE

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

What a great luncheon last Thursday for the 55+ group! Magnolia Manor generously provided a cheesecake bar, and a lovely Italian-themed lunch was served! Thanks to Anna Law, Laura Joyner, and Tricia Whitaker for the adorable table decorations! This is the last luncheon for the year. Thanks to all who came and all who served!

Farewell Steven and Brandi!


We said farewell but not goodbye to Steven and Brandi Wright this past Sunday. Steven has accepted a new position with the GA Baptist Mission Board and he will be missed! They will continue to live in Americus, so we will still see them around but we wish all the best to them both in this new capacity of service to God.


Thanks to everyone who came to wish them all the best!

Serve in the New Way

Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025

Romans 7:1-6

 

How Do Justified Sinners Change into Fruit-Bearing Followers of Christ?

 

  •   Not by belonging to the law, but by belonging to another.

 

Christians serve in a new way.

 

  •  We now live joyfully obedient to Christ, not fearfully obedient to Law.

 

 We don’t live in fear of not living up to Him, but we live in love, desiring to honor the One who accepts us based on grace.

 

 

Privileges of This Marriage Union We Have with Christ:

·        We Share His Name.

·        We Share His Standing.

·        We Share His Protection.

·        We Share His Undivided Love
