Is there an unforgiveable sin? Is there a sin that God will not forgive?

We are thankful.....to the Lord for the wonderful Spring Meeting we experienced this weekend at El Bethel Church. We were blessed with uplifting and encouraging preaching by Elders Chris Taylor and Ray Blanchard. They were blessed to preach Jesus and Him crucified. That makes the Lord's people happy and enlivened. For those who came to be with us, we thank you. We cherish your fellowship and friendship and feel honored by your presence.
The sermons by these elders may be found at our website, www.elbethelpbc.com for viewing
Again, thank each of you. May God bless you.

About a year ago, we posted to Facebook an open invitation for your college age children and friends to come to Tampa Florida to the University of South Florida. This is our "friendly reminder" that the invitation still stands. This is a growing university with diverse and extensive curriculums for training in today's world.
One of the unique advantages here is that there is a warm and loving Primitive Baptist Church one block from the campus. There is a congregation that loves to see college students and we would welcome you with open arms. We would be overjoyed for you to consider us your "home away from home."

"You are leaving a church that is happy" That was my parting thankful statement to brother Kenneth Brantley as he departed us yesterday after lunch when he headed back home to Georgia. The church was happy and blessed at the sound of the gospel of Christ. We were able to hear the resonating sound of truth in his preaching to us through out the weekend. We were able to see Jesus. We rejoice in that and feel so blessed and humbled. For those who came to be with us, we thank you for your fellowship and presence. We feel honored that you were with us. Brother Kenneth preached yesterday morning on "The Majesty of God." We were affected. All these sermons are available on video at our church website. www.elbethelpbc.com
May the Lord continue to shine upon us all.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow......
