Bible Bowl 2010 is now history. Our St. Andrews Road teams represented us in a marvelous way in the demonstration of their study of God’s word and also in the spirit of Christ. Thank you to every team member and mentor for all the hours of study and preparation you put in to the Bible Bowl this year and every year. Thank you to Cindi Burleson and Bill Young for the hours of study you both put into preparing the questions for this event. Thank you to Brother Wade Holton and the entire team of workers who set everything up on Friday and then made sure everything was back in place for our assembly on Sunday. Thank you to every Christian from all around the state of South Carolina who participated in this year’s Bible Bowl. It is my prayer that we have been encouraged and challenged in our Christian walk through the study of God’s word and through our fellowship together.

Mark you calendar for this very special series of meetings!

Our Theme: The Ancient Faith for the Modern World

I am really looking forward to our gospel meeting this month. Brother David Pharr, elder and former pulpit minister at Charlotte Avenue in Rock Hill will be with us preaching on the theme: The Ancient Faith for the Modern World. This will be a great time of worship, study, and fellowship. Please make plans to be here for every meeting. You will be so very glad that you were here.

Our Sunday morning theme in March is: “Looking to Jesus.” It is vital that we look. When we look, we see. Some do not see because they will not look. We must look to Jesus when we are tempted. He provides a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). We must look to Jesus when we are sick. He provides healing, help, hope, and strength to endure (Matthew 7:7-12). We must look to Jesus when we are in sorrow. He provides peace and rest (Matthew 11:28f). We must look to Jesus when we doubt. He provides for our faith (Romans 10:17). We must look to Jesus in all things. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). So let us obey God, looking to Jesus, laying aside every weight and sin, running with endurance the race before us (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Our lesson this Sunday is entitled “Looking to Jesus Means…” Just what does it mean to look to Jesus? Looking to Jesus means committing to what is right. Looking to Jesus means being in Christ. Looking to Jesus means being close to God. Looking to Jesus means walking with God. Are you looking to Jesus?

On Sunday evening we will continue in our series of lessons: Poor Decisions Christians Can’t Afford to Make. We must not allow our fleshly desires to overrule God’s word. We must not listen to the advice of someone who does not know the word of God. This Sunday evening we will find that we must not blame others for the things that we bring on ourselves. If you would like to read ahead, read about Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 12 through 16 again.

Our newly renovated facilities are simply gorgeous! God is good, all the time!
