Church Family,

Many of you have been asking about Diane Thompson. Diane is currently in Room 2302 in the Critical Care Unit at NAMC Hospital in Florence.

The family would like to encourage visits, but please be mindful that Diane’s energy is limited right now. The best times to visit are from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM and 4:00 PM–6:00 PM, with afternoons generally being when she has a little more energy.

She is having to work hard to talk and is not able to handle phone calls very well at this time. However, she enjoys receiving text messages, and hearing from friends and church family truly brightens her day.

Please continue praying for Diane, her recovery, and for her family during this time. Thank you for loving and supporting them so well.

Mike

Please pray for the family of Dr Gene Balding and Russellville First Baptist Church. He was such an inspiration to many. He was always there for advice in ministry to me as well as so many others.

As we get closer to VBS, we want to remind our church family that the most important preparation we can make is prayer.

Programs, decorations, games, and lessons all matter, but none of it matters more than asking God to move in the hearts of children and families.

Nina and Leeah has set up an “Illuminate VBS with Prayer” station in the coffee area. We would love for every person to stop by, take a lightbulb card, and pray specifically for that request throughout the week.

Then, bring your lightbulb back the following Sunday, return it to the board, and take another one so we can continue covering every part of VBS in prayer together.

Some of the prayer requests include:
• Hearts to be open to the Gospel
• Safety for children and workers
• Boldness for teachers and leaders
• Families to attend
• Lives to be changed through Jesus

Let’s ask God to do more than we could ever plan ourselves and shine His light through this year’s VBS.

VBS Kickoff:
Saturday, June 20
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM

VBS Classes:
Monday–Wednesday
June 22–24
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

This Sunday we’re starting a new mini-series inside our “Jesus Said What?” series called:

PREPARED, NOT PANICKED
“DON’T BE DECEIVED”

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to talk about deception, discernment, the end times, and what Jesus actually said about the days leading up to His return.

And honestly, I don’t know if there has ever been a time in my life where people seemed more confused about what’s true.

Every week there’s another headline.
Another “disclosure.”
Another theory.
Another viral video.
Another reason for people to fear.

People are talking about:

• UAPs
• aliens
• artificial intelligence
• government secrets
• spiritual experiences
• deception
• end-times confusion
• and things that honestly sound like they came straight out of a science fiction movie

Now let me say this clearly before we start:
The goal of this series is NOT to become “the UFO church” or “the conspiracy church.”

That’s not what this is.

This series is about making sure believers are grounded in Scripture when the world around them starts losing its footing.

Because one of the biggest problems in modern Christianity is this:
A lot of believers know prophecy language…
but they do not know prophecy Scripture.

They know:
• internet theories
• social media clips
• YouTube opinions
• sensational headlines

But many cannot open the Bible and explain why they believe what they believe.

Church, deception is dangerous because counterfeit things usually look close enough to the real thing to fool people.

The FBI trains agents to identify counterfeit money by studying the real bill so closely that the fake becomes obvious.

That’s the burden behind this series.

Not panic.
Not sensationalism.
Not obsession with darkness.

But becoming so grounded in the truth of God’s Word that deception cannot easily move us.

Jesus did not say:
“Watch the skies.”

He said:
“Watch out that no one deceives you.”
— Matthew 24:4

I believe this is going to be an important series for the church in the days we’re living in.

I will have the honor this Sunday to preach a sermon that was given to me from Yvonne Sherrill that was Bro Jerome Sherrill’s favorite sermon. It truly is an honor to have this.

Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they missed the moment of their visitation.

They had the truth.They had the Scriptures.They had the Son of God standing right in front of them.

And still… they passed by the opportunity of salvation.

I wonder today…Has Jesus wept over us because we kept putting Him off?

Luke 19:41
