Saturday May 5, 2012

Good morning on this Saturday, May 5th. Today's blog will be a potpourri of items of interest to our readers. Most of the items are in response to recent questions I've been asked.
(1) We will complete the current series of messages on the book of Ephesians by the end of this month.
(2) The final three messages will deal with the Christian's warfare, the armor of God, and resistance to temptation.
(3) I plan to do a prophecy update during the month of June.
(4) Yes, I do believe Israel will take out Iran's nuclear sites if a peaceful solution cannot be found in the very near future.
(5) The Men's Bible Study will again take a hiatus for the summer during the months of June, July, and August. The Bible study will resume on the 3rd Wednesday of September. 
(6) Our new youth pastor, Jeff Miller and his family will be moving to the Quad Cities during Memorial Day weekend. 
(7) Our teens will be attending LIFT Camp again this year during the month of July.
(8) Our missionary interns, Derek and Melissa Glynn, will finish their internship on October 31st and be approved as missionaries with the Baptist Bible Fellowship next May. They are planning to remain in the area pending their formal approval as they prepare for their deputation.
(9) My messages are now posted in video on the Edgewood website, edgewoodbaptist.net. The reception to their being available in video as well as audio has been excellent. We do plan to continue to offer them in video and improve their quality and presentation.
(10) The sermons will continue to be offered on audio Cd's after the services. The change in the Internet format will not affect this practice.
Tomorrow's message is entitled, The State Of The Church.
I hope you will be able to attend.
