Servant's Heart Class at First Baptist Church of Rockwall, TX

Sherry and I loved this film!
Nostalgic- I was saved in 1972 as the Jesus Revolution swept into my local Baptist church in Pleasant Grove.
Challenging- as now I identify with older Pastor reaching younger generation with the BLESSED HOPE that Jesus gives.
We are praying that GOD would do it again!
Go see this movie and be inspired and encouraged.

"Our world needs to be touched by Christians who are Spirit-filled, Spirit-led and Spirit-empowered."

Through the generosity of all the believers of First Baptist Church Rockwall, our church provided 224 backpacks full of school supplies to students.

120 went to the refugee students in the Vickery Meadows area of East Dallas, where we support the "Love Is Ministry". Students from more than 10 countries received their backpacks on their last evening of their VBS.

100 went to students at the 16 Rockwall ISD elementary schools.

4 went to a family in Caddo Mills, this family had been invited FBCR and are looking for a church home.

Hallelujah! Praying the Holy Spirit will speak to each child and tell them how much Jesus loves them.

Also we were present at all 16 Elementary schools on August 2nd to welcome educators back to start preparing for the new school year. We prayed for those schools while we were there.

We are continuing to pray for all the educators, children, parents, school board and everyone associated with educating our children as they begin a new year on Monday.

Our prayers are with David and all the family. We will miss you, Sandra, but we are comforted in knowing we will see you again and that you are more alive than ever in the presence of Jesus.

I thank GOD for a godly mom and wife and daughters that influence me every day in my Christian walk.
No wonder Jesus first appeared to Mary when He rose from the grave!

“For you see, women are the spiritual gatekeepers of their families. It doesn’t matter what religion they are or if they have no religion at all. Their spiritual influence is a natural overflow of who God created them to be in the first place. The man may be called to lead the family, but a mother’s influence is what marks a family. “

Authors write that Muslim women – who are the spiritual gatekeepers of their religion – are abandoning their posts to follow Jesus

Love this from O.S.Hawkins “The Passion Code”:

“Let’s pause today, on Maundy Thursday, and reflect on Jesus… how He modeled being a servant when we grasp for positions of honor… how we so often betray even as He sacrifices Himself for us… how He loves us no matter what! Let’s turn our hearts back to Him and commit or recommit our lives to Christ! Amen

Thursday was a busy day. The disciples were hastily gathering the food and supplies necessary for the seder meal, not to mention trying to secure a room for the dinner. All was in order when they gathered on Mount Zion that fateful evening. And then they got into an argument, right there at the tabl...

We continue to pray for peace and revival in Ukraine in the midst of terrible suffering. Grateful for our International Mission Board and their ministry to the Ukrainian people.
As hearts and buildings are broken, International Mission Board missionaries are providing a digital lifeline for Ukrainians through a Facebook ad developed by missionaries and global partners. Thus far, the ads have guided more than 5 million Ukrainians to The Hope for Ukraine website, which provides gospel resources, links to download a digital Bible and the ability to send a direct message to a Ukrainian or Russian-speaking Christian for help and prayer.

According to one Ukrainian official, bombs fall every 10 minutes in the city of Mariupol alone.

Revival starts with you -
• What if our prayers were less about what's wrong with the world and more about what we can do to make it better?

• What would it look like if we devoted a substantial amount of our time in prayer to asking the Lord how he wants to use us to bless the people we meet?

• What kind of an impact could we make on our community if, instead of trying to figure out ways to get them into our churches, we chose instead to figure out ways to meet their needs where they are?

We may not change the narrative about our faith on a national level, but every person we meet is a chance to change it on a personal one. If we want to see revival, then it has to start there.

A report from England relayed that 42 Anglican cathedrals contributed £235 million (roughly $321 million) to their local economies in 2019. That’s evidence of what the church can do to bless others—but Ryan Denison argues that the church (especially in the West) could do so much more.

The 24 packages for our soldiers in Africa finally arrived!! They were enjoyed by all. We are continuing to pray for their protection and for their success in accomplishing their mission, as well as for their families back home.
