Today’s Sermon

“When You’re Tempted”
Pastor John Lowder
James 1:13-18

James doesn’t say “IF you’re tempted.” Instead he says “WHEN you’re tempted”, do this. Knowing we will all be tempted at some point, it is wise to pay attention to what James has to say.

Thank You Thank You Thank You

Kathy has faithfully served as the Director of Frontline Women Ministries for thirteen years. She has helped develop and shape Women’s ministries at FBC while being an outpouring of Christ’s love to all around her. She has felt God speaking to her to trust Him and start a new chapter and in obedience has stepped down from her Director role. Kathy’s last day was June 1st. We are so thankful for the huge role she has played in the ministry of FBC in the last 13 years and are excited to see where God takes her!
