Harbour Lake Baptist Church VISION STATEMENT:

To disciple a Christ-centered body of believers to be committed

to God and who are passionate about carrying the Great

Commission to the lost in our community.

How Can I Know For Certain I Am Going To Heaven?

We don’t have to guess at this answer.. nor should we just “assume” or “hope” we are going to Heaven. God wants us to KNOW for certain.. that is why He gave us HIS WORD, the Holy Bible, to give us the answer. The Bible says that in order to get into heaven, a person must have sincere FAITH (Ephesians 2:8-9). FAITH can be used as an acronym to lead us to salvation.

F - is for FORGIVENESS. We cannot have eternal life and Heaven without God’s forgiveness. The Bible says: “In Him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” (Ephesians 1:7a)

A - is for AVAILABLE. Forgiveness is available.. It is available for ALL. The Bible says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “A” also stands for it is not automatic! Jesus Himself, says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 7:21a) THIS IS BECAUSE:

I - it is IMPOSSIBLE for God to allow sin into Heaven. This is due to the nature of God and the nature of man. You see, God does love us (John3:16), however, God’s nature is also HOLINESS. This means He must punish ALL SIN and the Bible says: “Judgement is without mercy” (James 2:13). Man’s problem is that: “We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). How then can ANYONE get to Heaven where God allows no sin if we are ALL SINFUL?

T - we must be willing to TURN! In the Bible, TURN means to REPENT. Jesus says: “Unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke13:3b). Repent from what? We must all TURN FROM our sins and our own plans to get to Heaven and instead TURN TO Jesus Christ, and Him only. Because: “Christ died for our sins.. And He was buried, and He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” (I Corinthians 15:3-4). The Bible also tells us “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9). So, the Bible says if you believe God loved you enough to send His Son to be the one punished for your sins.. AND.. If you ask God to save you through the finished work of Jesus.. THEN:

H - you can have assurance of HEAVEN! The moment you trust in Jesus, you have ETERNAL life. This means you can enjoy a personal relationship with Him even now while you are still alive. Jesus said: “I have come to give you life, and that.. More abundantly .” (John 10:10). You will daily be able to enjoy His love, His protection, His guidance, etc., In addition, you would know for CERTAIN that when you died, you would be in a place called HEAVEN for Jesus also said: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:3).

If you would like to receive this forgiveness of sins and KNOW you are going to Heaven.. Then pray: “Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that You arose from the grave. I now ask You to forgive me of my sins and to save my soul. Amen.”

If you have sincerely asked God to save you, then just have FAITH that He has! (and tell a Pastor soon!)

How Can I Become a Member of this Church?

Step 1: You must first accept Jesus Christ as your “personal” Lord and Savior.

Step 2: Baptized by immersion as a public symbol of one’s faith. OR:

If you are already a Christian and have been baptized by immersion then you can be voted in as a member through a statement of faith or by church letter, after attending a New Member’s Class that the Pastor shares once every month.

Step 3: Read and sign our church covenant (found in the vestibule and the Pastor will go over in the New Member’s Class).

Step 4: If you are interested in becoming a member or attending the New Member’s Class, please call or e-mail Teressa Armstrong in the church office (797.2982 or tessarm1056@gmail.com)

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE WEEK

September 13th - AWANA Begins 16th - Ladies Potluck Dinner 23rd - Shower for Baby Webb

October 8th - 13th - Israel Revival 28th - Neighborhood Blitz

Please start thinking about getting your shoeboxes packed. If you plan ahead it doesn’t seem like quite as much money. This may be the ONLY gift this child receives in their entire life. With these boxes, we are representing Christ. The Gospel is shared with each and every child and because of this they may come to

know Jesus. When you consider all of this, is $10 - $20 really so much to spend? There are children in other countries who can’t go to school if they don’t have a pencil. There are children who have never had a toy, a doll, or a stuffed animal that belonged to them. There is so much joy that can be put into a shoe box if you just give it some thought and you don’t have to spend a lot of money. If you have any questions please see me or go to www.samaritanspurse.org. Thank you, Teressa

Remember AWANA starts this Wednesday

unless the hurricane prevents. Keep eyes and

ears open or see Tina Phillips. Hopefully we

will be able to put the status on our web page.

Sunday, 8 October through Friday, 13 October and find out about

Nazareth, Israel, will be here! Our speakers will be, Pastors:

Jimmy Fuller, Marshall Young, Louis Venable, Rod West, Joe

Warring and Patrick Luke. A love offering will be taken every
