21st Century Soul Winning Seminar

Saturday March 26, 2011 9am-11am

 

21st Century Soul Winning Seminar

  

I want ask you to make plans to come and join with GPBC for a 21st  Century Soul Winning Seminar!

 

Please take this opportunity to sharpen you witnessing skills as well as to better present the "Good News!" of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to your lost friends or loved ones!

 

There is no question as to whether or not we have been commanded to share the Gospel with others...the issue for so many is we simply do not know how to do it very effectively!

 

Well, in this seminar we will not only be taught how to witness to others in a spirit filled and systematic way,  but we will also receive some practical and powerful tools to make our soul winning efforts more fruitful to the glory of our Lord!

 

Our teacher will be Evangelist, Dr. David Wood.  He will be teaching this seminar on Saturday March 26 from  9am to 11am! A free syllabus and refreshments will be available to all. Childcare is available for infants through 5th Grade.  I cannot express how important this is for each of us and the mission of GPBC! The lost in Portland are waiting on our willingness to personally share the Gospel with them! Thank God,  someone shared the Gospel with us...now it is our turn to share it with those yet to hear this "Good News!"!  

 

Dr. Wood will also be teaching at GPBC in Sunday School at 9:45 am for all of the Adults and Teens as well as the 11 am and 6 pm Services!

 

 

 

Please do not miss this exciting seminar and weekend dedicated to helping each of us to be a better witness for Christ! Let me also encourage you to take advantage of the ability to either Sign Up Here or simply sign up in the foyer after any service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GPBC Prepares for the Lord's Supper

This Sunday at 6pm

 Lord's Supper

  

Almost 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ left two ordinances for the New Testament local church. The first was Believer's Baptism ( Matt 28:19-20, Acts 2:41), and the second was the Lord's Supper (Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32). Neither are a means of grace or salvation. Both are to call to remembrance the wonderful grace of God extended to every believer.

 

This Sunday night, GPBC will once again serve the Lord's Supper in obedience to Christ's command.

 

As your pastor, let me encourage every member to prepare themselves both scripturally and spiritually for this important event.

 

According to Christ's command we are called to "examine" ourselves, and as a church we are to be in one accord with the Lord, His Word,  and one another.

 

As we come to the Lord's Table, may we remember what George F. MacLeod said years ago: "Jesus was crucified, not in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves"...and He did it all so that we could be forgiven and have a home in Heaven forever with Him.

 

The exercise of the Lord's Supper must be much more than just a religious ritual. It must be a personal discipline and exercise of worship and devotion of every Christian "in spirit and in truth."

 

Coming to the Lord's Table allows us to both personally and corporately say:

 

 "Thank you Lord for saving my soul, thank you Lord for making me whole.

   Thank you Lord for giving to me, thy great salvation so rich and free!"

 

Please read and study 1 Corinthians 11 as you prepare for this ordinance. God bless you and I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
