THOUGHTS FROM BRAD
The early church was the church thatchanged the world, the church thatturned the world upside down.
Is the church of today having as much of
an impact as the church of the firstcentury did? I think the answer is clearlyno. In Revelation 3:8, God told the lastdays church of Philadelphia, "For youhave a little strength, have kept My word,and have not denied My name." I believethere could be a comeback of sorts in thechurch todaya revival.
If you are Christian, you are a part of thechurch. What if the whole churchwere just like you? What if everyone inthe church prayed as often as youprayed? Would we be a praying church?What if everyone in the churchevangelized as often as you evangelize?Would we be an evangelizing church?What if everyone in the church gave asfaithfully from their finances as you give?Would we have a church that isresourced? What if everyone in thechurch were just like you?
The church is made up of us. Every oneof us makes a difference. We contributeeither to the strength of the church or tothe weakness of it. It is easy to point anaccusing finger and say, "The church
needs to do this. . . ." But here is thequestion: What about you?
It has been said, "Revival is God's fingerpointed at me." Revival is personal. Youneed revival. I need revival. We needrevival. Let's pray to that end because itis our nation's only hope.

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, Let the littl
children come to me, and do not hinder them
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such a
these.
So excited for us all to be together this wee

week for the time I get to spend with ou
kids here at 5th Avenue. Children are th
future of our church and of our world.
Use this time to worship the Lord together aa family. I encourage every family to no
worship only in the church, but to worship a
home together as well. Spend time in praye
as a family, choose a family devotion t
complete or sing together to praise songs i

Thank you Lord for your blessings!

How Can I Respond Today?
At FACC we look to the Bible for guidance on all
issues. We believe that Gods Word is clear
concerning what a person must do to become a
Christian.
Trust that Jesus can bring you to salvation. Turn (repent) from the sin in your life. Confess your desire to make Jesus the Lord
of your life. Be baptized (immersed) in water for the
forgiveness of sins and to receive the Holy
Spirit into your life.
To make this li fe decision for Chri st, we ask that you
come forward during our commitment songat the
conclusion of the Sunday message. Bapti zed believers
are welcome to become membersat FACC by coming
forward on Sunday morning or by seeing our Senior
Minister to discuss this further. We ask that you
complete a series of Curious classesto help you
better understand what you are committing to as amember.
