FBC Carthage E-News
July 20, 2020
Good Morning,
This past Sunday night,
Bro. Matt preached on the response of Christians to politics and
government. There is a lot of confusion
on this issue across our country. It is
posted on the First Baptist Church Carthage Facebook page and the fbcarthage
Youtube channel. Here is the Facebook
post of the service: https://www.facebook.com/firstbaptistcarthage/videos/282471993085307
I also taught on this
subject for the Sunday School lesson last week.
Here is the link to that teaching session: https://vimeo.com/
Speaking of our responsibility,
early voting has begun for the August election.
As believers, it is very important to go to the polls and elect the best
qualified, Christian value promoting candidates. Do not leave the election of our officials to
others. Vote!
Here is a special video we
used in the services yesterday. The
choir is from my daughter, Jill’s church in Fayetteville, Arkansas. May it be a blessing to you and to
others. He is worthy! https://youtu.be/fs7Kah6wnY8
Again, I remind everyone
that the four weekly services are open for in-person attendance. We have social distancing measures in place
and masks are still being worn by several in attendance. If you are away on vacation or feel concerned
to return to in-person services just yet, please remember to Live Stream with
us each week in the Digital Church Community services on fbcarthage YouTube
Channel and the First Baptist Church Carthage Facebook page.
Check out last week’s Children’s Virtual Adventure

The RightNow Video Series of
the Week is entitled, “The Christian Worldview.” Everyone
has a worldview, a framework through which they interpret reality and answer
life's ultimate questions. Many people, however, are unaware of the view they
embrace. In this series, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines some of today's most popular
worldviews and demonstrates that only the Christian worldview truly answers
life's most important questions. Here is the lesson on the
Christian’s response to government from Romans 13.
