Musicministry STUDENTministry travisORAN zackCUTTS Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus! Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand… (Ephesians 6:13) The dawn of 2015 will bring with it new hope and new challenges. Hope, as we have learned, of promises fulfilled in the past and promises yet to be fulfilled in the future. Challenges, as we also learn, meet us with each new day. 2015 will (not may) bring deep valleys of trouble, frustration and sorrow, but it will also bring the highest of mountain top joy, victory and celebration. Regardless of which one we currently face, or will soon experience; our feet must be firmly planted on the foundation of Jesus Christ in order to progress forward in this life. In the spring of 1858 there was a great revival in the Philadelphia area. One of the influential leaders of this revival was a young minister named Dudley A. Tyng. Not long after the revival had ended, Mr. Tyng’s arm was accidently caught in a piece of machinery and damaged beyond repair by the doctors of his day. The arm was successfully amputated, but just a few days later, this noble young man died from a severe infection related to the surgery. On his death bed, he sent a message to all the ministers who had served with him during the revival and the message began with these words, “Tell them, ‘Let us all stand up for Jesus.’” The words made a deep impression on the ministers after Tyng’s death. They were often quoted before large assemblies, and they made the foundation of more than one well known poems penned in the local area. Among Mr. Tyng’s most devoted friends and fellow ministers was Rev. George Duffield. A few weeks after the sad death of his friend, he preached in his own church in Philadelphia, taking as his text Eph. 6: 13 – 18, and at the close of his sermon sang a new hymn that he had written especially for this sermon, “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus.” The song a favorite of solders on both sides during the Civil War. As you experience both great joy and harsh troubles in 2015, let the words of this hymn comfort and strengthen you to stand firm for Jesus this New Year. 1. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss: From victory unto victory, His army shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed. 2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey: Forth to the mighty conflict, in this His glorious day; Ye that are men now serve Him against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose. 3. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! Stand in His strength alone, The arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own; Put on the gospel armor, and watching unto prayer, Where calls the voice of duty, be never wanting there. 4. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! the strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, the next the victor’s song; To him that overcometh a crown of life shall be; He with the King of glory shall reign eternally. Hey everyone, just wanted to let everyone know, this month on the 21st the youth and parents are invited to The Silver Ring Thing at Pine Terrace Baptist Church. It starts at 6:30.

PRESCHOOL/CHILDREN ministry ninaJOHNSON I have to admit that one of my favorite things to buy is a new cd and then listen to it non-stop and learn all the lyrics. I have always enjoyed listening to music and even more than just listening to it I love to sing along with it. When I am driving around in my car I am a rock star. Move over Mariah Carey because here I come. When I am alone in my car my voice is on key and my dance moves up to par. I have to say I just love being able to sing along with my radio and praise God all at the same time. For me music is something that has always spoken to me. I am not trying to sound all cliche but it is true. Whenever I am feeling down it never fails that God will send me a song to comfort me, uplift me, or just help me through the rest of my day. I find my music to be such an encouragement and it just helps me get through my day to day routine. Recently I went on a bit of a cd shopping spree. I have spent the last month trying to learn all the songs on my new cds so, I can thoroughly rock out to my music. One of the cds I bought is For King and Country’s newest release Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong. There is a song called Matter on this new album. The chorus is my favorite part. Matter To the one who spoke and set the sun ablaze To the one who stopped the storm and walked the waves To the one who took the tree so He could say You matter, I hope you know you matter As we begin this new year I wanted to share some encouragement that God has shared with me. As I have listened to this song several times these lyrics just hit me like a ton of bricks. I matter. I don’t matter because I am skinny enough or smart enough or righteous enough. I matter not because of what I have done but what God has done. Jesus left the perfectness of heaven to come to this earth to die for my sins. Better than that He died for all of our sins and desires that no one miss out on the opportunity to experience His forgiveness. So as we begin this new year I want you to know that you matter. You don’t matter because of what you have to offer Jesus but because Jesus loves you. You Matter! 2015: the year of SHARPENING our HEARTS Ferris Hill Baptist Church 6848 Chaffin St. Milton, FL 32570 Developing Authentic Followers Of Jesus Christ REACHING UP REACHING OUT REACHING IN DATES TO REMEMBER Special Day of Prayer And Combined Worship Service 12/31 Ladies Ministry Event 8:30a—2:30p 01/10 FHBC Leadership Team 12/07 12/14 12/21 12/28 Pastor Dr. Brian Nall [email protected] 686-6175 [email protected] 261-0213 Children/Preschool Ministry Nina Johnson [email protected] 400-0102 Ministry Assistant Brandi Opager [email protected] 623-3500 Ministry Area Ministry Mobilizers Student Ministry Zack Cutts SUNDAY SCHOOL 117 111 96 82 WORSHIP GIVING 153 134 150 120 $ 5,287.13 $ 4,365.34 $ 3,011.50 $11,265.17 Amount Required to Date: $224,001.01 Amount Received to Date: $226,020.82 Music Ministry Travis Oran [email protected] 449-9382 FHBC FAST FACTS DATE Ladies Bible Study 6:30p 01/15 Prayer Seminar Immanuel Baptist 6:00p 01/15 If interested, call: 4theMISSION mF1: Around FHBC .…………………………...……....Tom Turman (623-4788) mF2: Your Community ………………….….……..

Don’t Miss A Message! Listen ONLINE at http://ferrishill.org/ sermons-and-worship/ As we transition into a new year it is essential that we respond to God’s invitation to join Him where He is working all over the world. We are thankful that He is supplies the resources we need to get the job done in the Holy Spirit, but we need to be ready to receive His invitation. As God has called me to be your pastor and spiritual equipper I wish I could share with you all the bumps in the road that you need to prepare to overcome in 2015. I can’t. But what I can do, plan to do, is to Those guests/attenders prepare you with God’s word so that you will be ready whatever this who are interested in year may hold. church membership are I am deeply thankful and amazed as I reflect on what God has done asked to contact the through each of you in 2014. I know that there are still greater things church office to set up that need to be done in the days and months to come. If I have any an FHBC orientation primary goal for each person of FHBC in 2015, it is this: to become a meeting with Pastor Brian person of prayer. By that I don’t mean someone who faithfully asks God to bless the food before a meal, but one who enjoys ongoing communication with God and listens faithfully to what He says as He speaks through His word. If we can move in this direction, it will be a good year. If we can become a people of prayer, who act on the move of God as we pray, there are no words that can describe what this 2015 will hold.
