Let’s Promote!

Adam Faughn

Today marks our Bible class promotion day. Our young people will “move up” in their classes to coordinate with their grade at school. What a great opportunity this provides us. Some do not attend Bible classes as they should. They miss out on so many great opportunities to learn from capable teachers and from other class members. They fail to gain from the great fellowship that comes from a Bible class.

Worship With Us Sunday: Worship 9 AM & 6 PM * Bible Classes 10:20 AM Wednesday: Bible Classes 7 PM

Financial Peace University

Lebanon Road church of Christ Classes will start on Sunday, September 13 and will meet for 13 of the next 14 weeks. Classes will meet at 4PM each week, and baby-sitting will be provided.

Today is a great day to “jump back in!” If you have been coming to worship, but not staying for a class, make today the day you get back into your class. Maybe you don’t see the importance or benefit of these periods of study. Take a couple of weeks to attend with an open Bible and an open mind. Then you’ll see the importance!

What could you do… ...if you had no debt? ...if you had some money between you and life? ...if you fully understood what the Bible teaches about money? ...if you had a plan for your finances?

Special for Lebanon Road members: FPU usually costs $93 plus shipping. Our elders Sign up for Financial Peace University at Lebanon Road and help these goals become a are paying for $50 of that cost to encourage reality! us to attend! Your cost will be just less than $50 for you and your spouse to attend!!! Classes will be offered in the future as well, but this first class is limited to the first 30 to sign up!!!

WHERE IS HAPPINESS FOUND? Not in military glory. Alexander the Great conquered the known world. Having done so, he wept in his tent, because, he said, “There are no more worlds to conquer.” Not in unbelief. Voltaire was an infidel of the most pronounced type. He wrote: “I wish I had never been born!” Not in pleasure. Lord Byron lived a life of sensuous pleasure. He wrote; “The worm, the canker, and the grief are mine alone!” Not in money. Jay Gould, the American multimillionaire, when dying, said: “I suppose I am the most miserable man on earth.” Not in position and fame. Lord Beaconsfield enjoyed more than his share of both. He wrote, “Youth is a mistake; manhood a struggle; old age a regret!” Where, then is happiness found? The answer is simple: In Christ alone! He said: “I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.” “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: To fear God and keep his commandments --- this is the whole of man!” --Homer P. Reeves.
