Dr. Kevin L. Smith Kevin is currently a Ph. D. candidate and an

assistant professor of preaching at The

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He

currently serves as the Teaching Pastor at

Highview Baptist Church in Louisville. 24 Hours of Prayer - September 17-18 5pm-5pm

NEW DVD’S IN THE LIBRARY

Gifted Hands by Ben Carson. A life changing movie for all

ages (anyone young or old will enjoy watching this movie). Dr.

Carson, as a young boy uses his personal faith, & seeks God’s

help in overcoming his childhood frustrations and anger. A

truly inspirational movie.

Time Changer by D. David Morin. This story is about a

seminary professor from 1890 who is sent over 100 years into

the future to visit 21st Century America. There, he is shocked

to discover a society in which clothes do more to reveal than to

conceal, children have lost all respect for authority, and the

Lord’s name is taken in vain without hesitation.

Five or six years ago, the church I pastored decided to

sponsor a free car care clinic for single mothers and widows in

our community. The men changed oil and oil filters, checked

tire pressure and checked other essential fluids under the hood.

The students would then give a free car wash, and all the while,

the ladies in the church entertained, serving cookies and punch

while sharing the gospel with those who came. It was a great

day as we were able to minister to a number of families in our

community. However, I distinctly remember the men coming

and getting me because of their concern for one particular car.

As they began to drain the oil, less than a quart of oil came out

of the drain plug. Most cars run on a minimum of four to five

quarts. Running out of gas may inconvenience you for a day, but

running out of oil will inconvenience your engine permanently.

This single mother had no idea how close she was to

destroying her only means of transportation. We showed her

what drained out and explained the need to check her oil from

then on. Her reply was, “No wonder the oil light has been on

and the engine running so rough.” It was sad how close she had

come to destroying her engine. I am afraid some people are with

their lives the way this woman was with her car and not even

know.

Revival is not scheduled to be an inconvenience of extra

church meetings once a year. Revival is scheduled with a

purpose, and that purpose is for you, as part of the church, to

have your walk with the Lord reignited so that your “engine”

does not burn up. I hope and pray you will take advantage of

Revival. Participate in the twenty-four hours of prayer

September 16th-17th from 5p.m. to 5 p.m. and then plan on being

here every night of Revival (September 20th-23rd) with Dr.

Kevin Smith (teaching pastor at Highview Baptist Church in

Louisville, KY). Both you, your family and our church will be

better because you participated.

Your Pastor,

I have started writing 4 or 5 different articles before

landing on what I find to be a reoccurring, pressing, and

increasingly important topic. That topic is doubt. Doubt has

many faces. I want to encourage anyone who is walking with

any form of doubt.

I grew up with an understanding that I wasn't suppose to

doubt. Especially if I had doubts about God. I thought I was

never to question God. I have learned that it has been my

doubts that have opened the doors to a much clearer

understanding and a deepening of my relationship with God.

The truth is essential to the life of every believer. Jesus

Himself said when talking to Pilot in John 18, "I was born for

this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the

truth." Gods want you and me to live in assurance. Doubts may

be the way God leads you to the truth. Doubts are not bad. The

only way a doubt becomes bad is when we live in it. We must

not be locked up in fear when we can be resting in the grace and

promises of God. If there are doubts speak up! You can and

should know Gods truth especially for salvation! Now is the

time...

CALL THE CHURCH OFFICE TO REQUEST PARTICIPATION ON SEPT 13

MISSION - LOS PALMARES 2016

January 23-30, 2016 are the dates of our

next Guatemala Mission Trip. The main

mission of the trip will be Evangelism. We

plan to share the gospel by going door-to-

door, inviting the people of our adopted

village of Los Palmares, Guatemala to

attend VBS at the school facility and

Evangelistic meetings that will be held at

an outdoor basketball court in the heart of

the village. Additionally, if funds are

available, we will build a home for a

single mom and family of 4. The cost of

building a home for this family is $9,500.

If you are interested in going on this trip

please contact Bro. Tom. The cost of the

trip is approximately $2,000 per person. If

you would like to contribute to the cost of

the home, again contact Bro. Tom, Missions

Pastor, for details.
