Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s message, “The Mind of Christ” based on I Corinthians 2:14-16:
- The presence of the Holy Spirit in the believer is evidence of salvation.
- The Holy Spirit gives understanding to the mysteries of God.
- Unsaved people cannot understand the mysteries of God.
- Carnal Christians MAY not understand the mysteries of God if their lives are filled with unconfessed sin.

Fall Revival Sept 19-22

Plans have been finalized for our Fall Revival. Evangelist Bobby Smith will conduct a series of sermons on “Israel’s Role in End Times Prophesy”.

The revival starts Sunday morning Sept 19 at 10:50. We’ll have a church-wide potluck to follow.

The revival continues Sunday through Wednesday evenings starting at 7 pm.

Bro Bobby has made 25 trips to the Holy Land and now leads tours as well. He will be presenting images of modern Israel and relating them to Scripture.

He and his wife, Jeanette, will provide the music for the revival as well.

Everyone is invited and encouraged to invite your family, friends, and neighbors.

Native American Work to Close

After nearly a year of its existence, it has been decided to close the Native Fellowship Baptist Church. The final service will be Thursday, August 26, 2010.

We hope to establish a different Native American Baptist Church in Wagoner in the future. Please pray to that end.

We wish to thank everyone who has faithfully supported this effort, especially Rev Wade Robertson.

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s message, “The Intolerant Gospel” based on Acts 4:11-12:
- The Bible says that salvation is through Jesus alone.
- This message is offensive to other religions.
- If we truly believe that salvation is through Jesus only, how can we allow people of other religions to continue if their religions do not lead to God, but damnation?
