Seize the Moment – Day 192

Walk Simply in Faith!

1 Corinthians 8

 

Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Friday, September 25.

 

A quick leadership update: our local and state health partners have moved Indiana into Stage 5, starting tomorrow. The new executive order is called, “Stage Five – The New Normal During A Global Pandemic.” The “new normal” requires social distancing and the use of face masks when you are not socially distanced. I pray for the mental and emotional well-being of people as they read the executive order. May the peace of Christ rule your heart and mind.

 

For the last seven months, we have worked very hard to innovate ways to never stop our ministries at FBC. With that said, we know that Stage 5 is what some people have been waiting for to return to the public gathering of worship on Sunday morning. It’s time to come back.

 

The doors open at 9 for children, youth, and adult classes. The worship service begins at 10:30 and I am planning a message called, “The Rule of God’s Peace!” from Colossians 3:15-16. It will be a very accurate and timely message. I hope to see you there.

 

I join with the Apostle Paul in exhorting the mature Christians in our fellowship to not let their great learning to cause the simple and weak in our fellowship to stumble in what they hear and see from us—whether in person or on social media. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 8:11-12, “And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.”

 

Seize the moment and walk simply and intentionally in your faith. Your life is for the sake of others and not for yourself! Never forget who you represent—Jesus Christ, crucified, risen, and coming again. Focus your eyes on Him!
