📖 Letters That Still Speak
"The Power of the Gospel"
📍 Romans 1:16–17

In a world where people are bold about almost everything, why do so many Christians struggle to speak about Jesus?

This Sunday, we'll look at one of the most powerful statements in all of Scripture:

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel..."

Join us as we discover:
✅ Why Paul was unashamed of the gospel
✅ The power of God to save sinners
✅ What it means to live by faith
✅ Why the gospel still changes lives today

The Roman Empire had wealth, power, and influence—but Paul said the real power was the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We'd love for you to join us this Sunday at Otterville Baptist Church!

🕤 Sunday School – 9:30 AM
🕥 Worship Service – 10:30 AM

Come worship with us and hear the good news that is still changing lives today.

📖 NEW SERIES STARTING THIS SUNDAY 📖

“The Letters That Still Speak”
Week 1 — “Who Was Paul and Why Did He Write?”

Before Paul became a preacher…
he was a persecutor.

Before he planted churches…
he tried to destroy them.

But one encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus changed everything.

This Sunday we begin a brand-new series through the letters of Paul as we discover how words written nearly 2,000 years ago still speak directly into our lives today.

These letters still speak to:
• struggling churches
• discouraged believers
• broken homes
• confused culture
• weary Christians
• and lost sinners

Join us this Sunday at Otterville Baptist Church as we begin our new series:
“The Letters That Still Speak”

🗓 Sunday, May 31
🕤 Sunday School – 9:30 AM
🕥 Morning Worship – 10:30 AM

Come worship with us and discover how God still speaks through His Word today.

When you walk into your workplace tomorrow morning…
you are not just an employee.

You are an ambassador for the King of Kings.

When you walk into your neighborhood…
you are not just another resident.
You are a representative of the Kingdom of Heaven.

When you walk into Walmart…
when you go to the ballgame…
when you sit down at the restaurant…
you carry the name of Jesus Christ with you everywhere you go.

And church…
that changes everything.

It changes how we talk to people.
It changes how we treat people.
It changes how we respond when life gets difficult.

Because ambassadors do not live for their own agenda.

For years, we lived for ourselves.
But now…
we represent Someone greater.

You represent the King.”

There’s a place for you this Sunday.

Life gets busy. Weeks get heavy. And sometimes people wonder if church really matters anymore. But there’s still something powerful about God’s people gathering together… worshipping together… praying together… and opening the Word of God together.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to be perfect. You just need to come.

Maybe this Sunday could be the very Sunday God speaks to your heart, renews your spirit, or reminds you that you are not alone.

Why not come join us this Sunday at Otterville Baptist Church?

Sunday School – 9:30 AM
Morning Worship – 10:30 AM

There’s a seat waiting for you.

Join us this Sunday at Otterville Baptist Church as we conclude our “He Found Me” series with a message titled:

“He Found Me… Now What?”

📖 2 Corinthians 5:17–20

Salvation is not the end of the story — it’s the beginning of a brand-new life in Christ.

What does it really mean to be a “new creation?”
How should grace change the way we live?
And what purpose does God have for those He has saved?

This Memorial Day weekend, we’ll also reflect on sacrifice, freedom, and what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

Come worship with us as we look at how Jesus doesn’t just save us… He transforms us for a purpose.
