Thursday Praying the Word

FBC Supported Missions

Please Pray:

...for the various committees which work to direct and support the ministry of First Baptist Church

…for the kingdom of God to be advanced in all His church, not only in our own church, denomination or area.

“Oh Lord You're beautiful, 
Your face is all I seek,

For when Your eyes are on this child, 
Your grace abounds to me.”

¹⁵Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of his eyes and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. ¹⁷And the world is passing away and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
