October Newsletter

This past month was the annual day of prayer at schools known as See You at the Pole Day. Students all across the country gathered around their school’s flagpole before school on Wednesday morning, September 24th. They spent time in prayer, Scripture reading, and worship through song. Several of our youth were involved at the prayer times at both East Coweta Middle School and East Coweta High School. This was a tremendous stand to take in front of their friends and peers. What a witness it is to come to school early to pray for the nation and its leaders, schools, and churches.

This month will be First Baptist’s annual Fall Revival. Monday evening of revival week will be the youth emphasis service. Our revival evangelist Doug Stroup will be bringing a special message for the students in attendance that night. Why not start inviting everyone you know to come be a part of this worship service? Be sure to be praying for the all meetings throughout the week as we seek for God to move among us as a church body through His Holy Spirit.

In the past few days, God has been bringing Jeremiah 29:13 to my mind regularly. Through the Old Testament prophet, God is found saying in this verse, “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” This verse highlights the reason why the Christian life is a continuous journey. We as believers are constantly in pursuit of the Lord and His desire for us. Were we to ever comprehend all there is to know about God, then our pursuit of Him would dwindle down to nothing. You don’t chase after something you already have. You run after those things that you desire and that are most important to you, but you have not yet obtained. May we always make the Lord our most important priority; for in doing so, we will learn more and more of Him as we devote our whole heart in our search for Him.
