Changes

The Fellowship of Joy has entered into a new partnership ministry with Darryl Curry, one of our members and pastor of the Grafitti ministry. His New Hope Ministries will be incorporated into ours with a board of our members and others and we are in the process of opening a men's home for discipleship and recovery through Jesus Christ. lately, we have reassessed our sponsorship of Set Free Ministries and have prayerfully and carefully come to the conclusion that we will be helping them launch out on their own and removing ourselves from responsibility and oversight over them. Below is the letter I wrote to them this week and they receieved graciously: Baptist Temple – The Fellowship of Joy 4141 N Fresno St., Fresno, CA. 93619 www.fresnojoy.com 559-229-9379 From the Desk of Tom Sims, Senior Pastor www.pastortomsims.com tomsims1@compuserve.com Set Free Ministries – Fresno 4141 N.

STEP UP DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS for February 16-22

Monday, February 16 - (Jeremiah 10:23 ) " O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." - We like to think we are in charge of everything in our lives.

What God offered Abraham in terms of a vision of significance for His life, is available for us. We can be blessed to be a blessing to others. In your seeking and visioning this day, are you saving room for the great things God wants to do in and through you? Wednesday, February18 - (I Peter 2:21 ) " For even hereunto were ye cal...

Salvation Through Christ: A Matter of FAITH

I post this for two purposes: (1) To share my faith. (2) to help you share yours. Salvation Through Christ: A Matter of FAITH What do you think it takes for someone to get to heaven? Is it luck? Good deeds? Nothing at all? Or is there something more? The Bible has the real answer to this question. It's a matter of FAITH. F stands for FORGIVENESS. We cannot have eternal life without God's forgiveness. Ephesians 1:7a says, "In Him (Jesus Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins." A is for AVAILABLE. Forgiveness is available for all. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." But forgiveness is not automatic. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven," says Matthew 7:21a. I is for IMPOSSIBLE. It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven because of who He...
