Tomorrow at FBC Briar we will have a full day. There are two Sunday School classes on Jeremiah, a church membership class, and other classes for the kids (9:30AM). In the worship service (10:45AM) Pastor Jon will preach Habakkuk 1:1-11, Why Do the Wicked Prosper (Part 2)? We will sing, read the catechism, share the memory verse, pray and read the Scriptures. At 3:00PM Pastor Jon will go to the abortion clinic at 3256 Lackland Rd. in Fort Worth to preach & offer help--an act of mercy on the Lord's Day.

Tonight we have prayer meeting at 6:30PM. Pastor Jon will teach on Jude 3-4: Two Warnings from the Brother of Jesus to An Apathetic Church. We will sing, read the Scriptures, hear from the Word of God and pray together. Hope to see you tonight!

A friendly reminder that the memory verse for the month of October is 1 John 5:2-3. Have you memorized it? If not, why not? A helpful tool for Scripture memory is the Bible Memory App. It is available for iPhones and android. You can learn more about it at www.biblememory.com.

Tomorrow Pastor Jon will begin a new series on the Book of Habakkuk. Have you ever asked yourself, "Why do the wicked prosper?" Habakkuk asked that same question and he wasn't prepared for the answer. The first sermon will overview the Book and give some background on the political situation of Habakkuk's day.

Tonight at Prayer Meeting we begin the Book of Jude. This book is a clear warning to the church about false teachers. Tonight we will study what little we know about the background of the book and cover the first two verses. Please join us.

Please pray for a little girl (pre-school aged) who has a very low pulse rate and 103+ temperature. She is not breathing and went into a seizure. This is NOT anyone from our church. The family involved is a friend of the church. Thank you for praying wherever you are right now.

The pastor will leave for sabbatical this Sunday, October 11th and return January 3rd. If you have any needs during this time, please contact Jon Speed or one of the deacons. Pray for your pastor to truly get some much needed rest and that His time with the Lord would be precious.

I am preaching Philippians 4:10-20 in order to share some history and to give proper thanks to the church for all they did for my family and I last week. We will partake of communion on Sunday morning. Please prepare your heart and mind for communion. We will remember together the great one time sacrifice of Christ on the behalf of sinners. We will remember His body broken and His blood spilt out. We will proclaim His death until He comes.

Pastor Randall's Commentary on Jonah is now available for purchase! It has been published by One Million Tracts and it's only $9.95 (not bad for a commentary). It's also in the new "store" section of our Sermon Audio page (on the SA site). Congratulations, Pastor Randall! We hope it will influence many for the gospel. onemilliontracts-com.3dcartstores.com/Commentary-on-Jonah-_p_308.html

Reminders about this Sunday. 1. There is NO Sunday School this week. Service will begin at 10:45AM, as always. 2. Keep in mind that Pastor Randall has many guests coming from a long distance to celebrate with him. Although we love our pastor very much and should be sure to express our love to him and his family, please be sure to allow our guests to do the same thing. 3. Please write a letter to Pastor thanking him for his ministry. We will have a basket. 4. Enjoy the day. --Pastor Jon

On Oct. 4th (next Sunday) we will celebrate my 20 year anniversary and on Oct. 11th we will have a morning communion service, therefore this Sunday will be my last official sermon for the year. I pray that you will come tomorrow as I preach that Christ is the head of the church (Col. 1:15-20).

I will preach John 10:12-18 "Conduct Reveals Character" and show the contrast between the good shepherd and the hireling. I pray that the sermon will result in you loving Jesus more and that you will seek to serve Him more fully because of all that He has done for you.
