Week 29 - Faith Bible Church

Well to say I have had writer’s block is an understatement. Today I am catching up on the last three churches we have visited. It’s not that I didn’t learn anything these weeks or feel inspired; I just haven’t been able to get things onto paper. I’m not sure my writer’s block is over, but I feel compelled to update the project so here goes. Faith Bible is a church we have visited many times. It is a medium sized church, but rapidly growing. There are many things we like about this church. The instrumental music is very well done and you can still hear the congregation singing. The preacher sends you digging through your Bible throughout the sermon, which is something I really like. There’s just something great about hearing everyone turning pages and not just reading the scriptures up on a screen. The sermons are always thought provoking and there is no guessing about what they believe and why. Their “theme” if you will is “One Bible Verse at a Time” and this describes exactly how they work through even difficult subject matters. I always learn something from a different perspective every time I visit. The primary thing I learned this week was that I want to have that same kind of conviction about what I believe and the knowledge and courage to defend those beleifs. This requires a good deal of study which sometimes seems overwhelming, but it can be done “one Bible verse at a time.”
