As a Christian do you know how you got the Bible you hold in your hands?  Where did it come from?  Come tonight and get a crash course in how God gave it to you so you will be prepared to give an answer for the hope that you have in Christ!

Everyone, come join us at Woodland Baptist Church this Sunday as we kick off our 2015 state theme, “Building Blocks of a Bold Disciple.”  Steve Stone, Associate Executive Director, and church growth strategist will come to share with us about the “cost of discipleship” and what it means to “deny self” and “obey God.”

Our schedule that day will be a little different:

9:00am – church wide breakfast

9:30am – Large group Sunday school – sanctuary with Steve and Shelby

10:30am – AM worship with Steve Stone, guest speaker

COME AND SEE THE UNVEILING OF THE BOLD DISCIPLE!!

Prepare yourself for one of the most engaging years of Wednesday nights you have ever had!!

Next year, we will explore the treasures found in the Apocalypse of John as we experience 24 sessions of theological exposition of Dr. Paige Patterson, President of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

On alternating nights we will also have 24 sessions of “Iron Sharpens Iron,” as we dialogue together concerning the hard questions of theology such as Calvinism and Arminianism, charismatic gifts, church membership, angels, demons, heaven, hell and much, much more.

Our time in Revelation will build toward an incredible peak as the author himself, Dr. Paige Patterson, will be coming to lead us in our fall revival next year!

Prepare yourself for a challenging year theologically and spiritually as we explore the “Building Blocks of a Bold Disciple.”

I know it seems unbelievable, but yes, Saul, the King of Israel, becomes so desperate for guidance, that he breaks basic Covenant law through seeking the help of a sorceress, also known as a witch.  This event marks the end of Saul’s reign as king, as he would die the next day in battle.  How many time do we as New Testament Christians do the exact same thing?  We go to a forbidden source to try to find out God’s will??

³ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the necromancers out of the land. ⁴ The Philistines assembled and came and encamped at Shunem. And Saul gathered all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa. ⁵ When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. ⁶ And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets. ⁷ Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a medium at En-dor.”

³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.” ³⁷ Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” ³⁸ Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.

Come and join the Woodand Baptist Church family as we celebrate the Holy Night by candlelight and the Lord’s Supper.  Everything starts at normal time and there will be readings from our congregation and singing to the Lord!  This Sunday @ 6pm
