Welcome to our service today!

Grace is a very fitting name for

our congregation because we

love to experience God’s grace!

We are a warm and friendly

family who exist to exalt Jesus

Christ, evangelize the lost, and

edify believers. We have lots of

interesting and enriching things

to do and offer as a church. But

our priorities are to worship the

Lord Jesus Christ, to fellowship

with other believers, to grow to

be more like Jesus, to do

ministry, and to share the Good

News with those around us. I

encourage you to become a part

of our wonderful church.

We need YOU to help us fulfill

our responsibilities and you need

US to help YOU become who

God created YOU to be. I would

consider it a privilege to be your

pastor and I pray you will

consider joining our wonderful

church!

Pastor Tim McGehee

Cornerstone Resurrecting

“Four Strong Anchors for Life’s Stormy Seas” Matt Magness

In Christ Alone

Giving - Deacon of the Week-Glenn Schmitz

Tennessee Missions Emphasis

Today at 6:00 p.m.

The mission of Grace Baptist Church is to reach people for Jesus Christ and

to teach them to be productive in the family of God!

Sermon Notes

Four Strong Anchors For Life’s Stormy Seas Acts 27:14-29

Paul was a special man for several reasons, but here are 4 of them

He was a man ___________ God.

He was a man on a _______________ mission.

He was a man of _______________ Faith.

He was a man who was in ________________ with God.

So what are these 4 anchors that Paul used and that are available to use today.

The Strong Anchor of the _______________________ of God. Acts 14:23

The Strong Anchor of the _______________________ of God. Acts 14: 24-25

The Strong Anchor of the _______________________ of God. Acts 14:24

The Strong Anchor of the _______________________ of God. Acts 27:44

So I want to you to take this small prayer home with you. Cut it off this paper and put it

somewhere you can see when those storms of life come.

“Lord, I cannot fix my situation. I cannot calm the raging seas of my life and I cannot still

the winds that blow against me. I need Your help today. By faith, I cast the anchors of Your

__________________.

Your ____________________________, Your _____________________________, and

Your

______________________ into my stormy seas. I am trusting You to bring peace in the

midst of the storm. Until then I will not fear, I will not fret, I will simply have faith You will

bring me through.”

HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH

FIRST you will need to come forward during the invitation to express your desire to become a member. We accept members in three ways: 1) Profession of faith: By repenting of your sins and receiving Jesus Christ by faith. After you have made a public profession of faith, you will need to be baptized. 2) By statement of faith: If you have made a public profession of faith at another church, we will be glad to receive you. However if you have never been baptized by immersion or if you were baptized in a church which holds a different view of salvation, baptism or eternal security than Grace, you will need to be baptized again. 3) By letter: If you are currently a member of another Southern Baptist Church, we will contact that church to notify them of your decision to join Grace. SECOND, You will be required to attend our “New Members” class. You may present yourself for membership before or after taking this class.

New Discipleship Class for New Believers and Seasoned Disciples

Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." Matthew 28:19

How are you doing on this part of the Great Commission? What is your spiritual age? Are you dependent on others for your spiritual nourishment? Could you or do you feed others spiritual truth? Is Grace a disciple-making church?

-If you are a new believer or one that wants to mature as a Christian we have a

Journey for you! -If you are a seasoned follower of Christ and want to learn how to be obedient to the Great Commission we have a Journey for you! -If you have a passion for helping others grow in Christ we have a Journey for you!

"Disciple's Path: The Journey" provides an intentional one-year mission toward maturity in Christ. It's a purposeful process covering four volumes, 13 sessions each. The Journey was created to nurture believers into disciples who make

disciples. This new discipleship class will begin October 1 at 9:45 a.m. Please share your interest on the tear off or contact Michael.

Appreciation— Dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, I’m so thankful for the kind sympathy expressed about my sister Gail’s death. Your prayers of support are helping me recover from this event, and are so appreciated. With love, Brenda Bell
