Hebrews 11:1-16

Pastor Cory delivered a powerful message this morning on faith from the book of Hebrews. You may have hear the "Hall of Faith" preached on before, but Cory brings this message right to us as the church of God. Faith is essential in the Christian walk, and it is what sets apart from an unbelieving world. The writer of Hebrews describes faith as almost something that is tangible, that we may grasp ahold of when the world is falling to pieces. As the church, our faith is not only a feeling, it is a substance that spurs us on to labor for the kingdom of God and not to give up the fight when things get tough.

Pastor Troy has been in a series series on Worship for a while, but says we will be taking an extended break as the Lord sees fit during the start of this new season. For January and beyond, we will be focusing on the Vision of the church, praying that God will help us to reach the Shumont community and to grow as a church. Pastor Cory is also making his way through the book of Ephesians in his messages, but is taking a break from that as well during this season. We at Bald Mountain Baptist Church are so glad you have joined us here, and our prayer is that you are blessed by this message!

The calling for every Christian is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Well, where does the earth begin and where does it end? For us at Bald Mountain Baptist Church, the world begins in the Shumont Community on top of a little peak in Buncombe County, NC. Our prayer is that through this platform we might do our part in reaching the ends of the earth with the gospel!

Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Isaiah 42:10-11
