Miracles, Signs & Wonders!

We are seeing miracles all around us. If you don't believe me, how about the fact that I made it to the age of 40 this week? Some would say that is a miracle. But seriously, think about everything we have seen together this year. This month we will take a look at Jesus' Top Five Miracles.

This Sunday, the first miracle: "Water Into Wine."

Read John 2:

Prayer Requests for the week of Sept 25th

Thank you for praying often for the needs shared this week by fellow Homebuilders.

Terrills - They have had non stop sickness in their family so please pray for complete healing and good health this week.
Also Steven has started a new law firm. Pray for success and God to be glorified through Steven's new adventure.

Smiths - Sarah is struggling with her evening work schedule and not being home with Riley. Pray for peace for Sarah to be able to enjoy her new job and enjoy the time she has with her family.

Wheelers - Maggie was home with a sick baby this Sunday. Please pray for quick healing and for the rest of the family to be protected from illness.

Ingrams - Terry's friend, Matt, whose marriage we have been praying for, was in class this week. Praise the Lord. Also late last night, I heard from Cindy that Matt's wife, Angie, called Cindy out of the blue telling her that she had realized she needed the Lord in her life. There is great hope for Matt and Angie's marriage to be restored. Matt and Angie will be going to the Ingrams house tonight. Please pray for Terry and Cindy to have words of encouragement and good counsel for Matt and Angie. God is working BIG time in their lives so please, please be faithful to lift them up especially today and this week.

God is SO good ALL the time!!

'Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!'
Psalm 116:2

LOVE THAT VERSE!!!!

September Study Topic: ABUNDANT LIFE
This week, “GROW.”
We will look at the difficult but vital path to deeper faith.
Read: 2 Timothy 3:1-17
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%203:1-17&version=MSG
Our lesson writer states: “Growth in faith is something that lasts a lifetime and includes such pursuits as connecting to others, studying God’s Word, and following positive examples of others.”

Praises and Prayer Requests for the Week of Sept 4th

PRAISES
Ingrams - Terry's dad is recovering from successful gallbladder surgery. Pray for continued healing.

PRAYER REQUESTS

Ingrams - Please continue to pray for Cindy's uncle, Kevin, as he undergoes intense chemo for an aggressive form of leukemia.

Bendures - Janna asks that we pray for their 4 year old, Aaron, and all the other kids that are now going to big church. Pray for them to be quiet and maybe even learn something!

Langleys - Court's mom had a biopsy on her leg to test for skin cancer. She has to wait 2 weeks for the results. Pray for negative results for cancer.

Dale - Amy's dad, Billy Brawner, will go back to the doctor this week to see if he can be released from his neck brace. Please pray that Billy's neck will have healed completely and will no longer have to wear his brace.

Elmores - Please continue to pray for our friends, the Stevensons, who are divorcing after 36 years of marriage.
Also Jim's nephew and his wife were in Atlanta on Saturday when the wife, Carrie, fell 18 ft off of a walkway between two buildings. She apparently tried to break her fall with her hands and shattered her left elbow and also broke a bone in her left forearm. She also broke her right wrist. She will see an orthopedic surgeon Wednesday morning to have surgery scheduled. Please pray for successful surgery and healing for Carrie. We are also praising God that she wasn't hurt more seriously and didn't hit her head from such a long fall.

Hassells - Debra asks us to pray for Jennifer Kerns who was in their former Life Group and is still an FBC member. Jennifer was attacked last week in the parking lot of the Brookside library. She has stab wounds and was very traumatized by the whole ordeal. Debra said it's been a rough year for their family between losing jobs, being transferred and now being a victim of crime. Please pray for healing both physically and emotionally for Jennifer and her family.

'Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.' Psalm 27:7

September Study Topic: ABUNDANT LIFE

From our study writers: "How do you strive for a spiritually balanced life? And what's the importance of doing so? We'll consider these questions and more as we examine four major areas of spiritual growth emphasized in the New Testament": Connect, Grow, Serve, and Go.
This week, "Connect".
