Immanuel Southern Baptist Church

Bits & Bytes
Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s message, “A Matter of Faith” based on Matthew 8:5-13:
- The church has dropped the ball in the faith department.
- The church looks too much like the world to make an impact for God.
- If we want to change the world, we must live by faith.
- If we don’t have faith that God is in control, then we don’t have enough faith for salvation.

Children’s Church Has Begun!

This past week, children at Immanuel Southern were treated to the very first ISBC Children’s Church led by Jack and Pat Bruce. The Bruces have felt led by the Lord to begin a work especially for children and are excited at the prospect of this new ministry!

The children will attend the main worship service through the singing, baptisms, welcome and offering. They will be dismissed to their very own service during the offering.

Jack and Pat plan to offer an age appropriate worship setting including Bible stories and individualized prayer times. Children’s Church is for kids Kindergarten through Sixth Grades.

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s message, “A Matter of Trust” based on Mark 12:41-44:
- Tithing is an Old Testament concept
- Tithing is not commanded in the New Testament
- Tithing is a concept under the law
- The New Testament model of giving is based on grace
- The concept of tithing is abused and mis-guided in the church today
- 10% is a good place to start, but Jesus demands everything
- If you can’t trust God with your finances, how can you trust Him with to save your soul?
- If God isn’t Lord over your money, He probably isn’t Lord over your heart either.
