REACHING THE COMMUNITY AND TEACHING THE GOSPEL ! SERMON NOTES REVELATION 14: 9-11 Sunday, February 8, 2015 The Pastor welcomes you… Congratulations to Stephen Schwender on his baptism and declaration last week; we will continue to pray for him. Thank you for your words of encouragement in regard to the current “Coming of the Days” series of messages. Today, we look at Revelation 14:9-11 and the puzzle as to why would people accept the “mark” of the beast and follow the anti-christ. It really is not that complicated. This morning Alice Green, who is graduating from the Women in Truth program and moving into her own home, will give a short testimony. Tonight, the Women In Truth Ministry will share not only the story of Alice, but their ministry. Please come and both support and learn about their mission. Next Friday, we invite young adults to a night of fun and fine food. Please sign up so we know how many to expect. Then don’t forget the “Pickerings” and “Mark V Quartet” with us on the 21st. We also look for workers to help with 2nd Saturday and ask that you let Phil Toothman know of your availability. May the Lord bless you and encourage you these days. You Friend and Pastor, Stan Hannan First Baptist Church of Belleview 6107 SE Agnew Road Belleview, FL 34420 Phone: 352-245-9106 THIS WEEK AT FBCB * You need a break!! To a FUN evening! Including dinner and great fellowship… followed by the game Who did I marry or even Why did I marry or When do I marry????? Master of Ceremonies: CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today in Children’s Worship, Mrs. Moffett and Joey are learning about the Kingdom of Heaven. Our lesson comes from Matthew 22 where Jesus tells the Parable of the Wedding Feast. We’re learning that Jesus taught in parables so His followers would understand how to live in anticipation of His second coming. If you haven’t RSVP’d for the next “Ditch Your Parents Night,” don’t miss this Wednesday’s (February 11th) deadth line. The event is Friday, February 13 from 6:30—8:30 PM. Join us for crafts, games, food and fun! Today’s Big Picture Question: Who is invited to the kingdom of heaven? Everyone is invited to the kingdom of heaven, but few will choose to come.

Thanks to everyone who has been providing meals for the children on Wednesday nights, and to Linda Smith for coordinating. It is a real blessing to these kids, and we are blessed to be able to work with them and share the love of Christ through HIS Kids Choir and TeamKID. If you signed up for the Chris Tomlin Concert (or would like to), the cost is $24.00 and the money is due TODAY! The concert will be in Gainesville at the “O” Dome on Tuesday, February 24.

Blessings, Pastor Richard The Youth fund raiser will be here Saturday at the church. We will be hosting a Yard Sale. We will have baked goods, pizza, art and other things you would expect to see at a Yard Sale. I would like to thank all who donated to this worthy cause. Bring your sweetheart on this Valentine’s Day and show your support for our Youth. Remember, just come on, BUY! Although we have discontinued Wednesday Night Supper, there is a group of people who take time out of their busy schedule to cook for the kids before church. This is an important ministry that helps kids want to come to church and gives those in the Youth Dept. an opportunity to teach them about Jesus. I would like to say thank you to those who serve here. The more who participate, the less work each has to do. If this sounds like something that is for you, let Linda Smith know. This is a worthy ministry. Steven Myers
