Looking back through the last 120 years, all we can say is “Thank you, Lord!” First Baptist Artesia will celebrate 120 years of existence the week of September 14th-22nd.
First Baptist Church Artesia’s 120th Anniversary Celebration kicks off on Saturday September 14 with a prayer walk/ bike ride beginning at 8 am from the church’s Total Life Center (TLC).
When we become Christians we become a part of the body of Christ. The gifts that the Holy Spirit gives us are directly related to our position in the body of Christ – the church. This becomes especially clear within the local church. Look at 1 Corinthians 12:12-13. “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
What if you could build your perfect life? Where would you start? Would you start with a piece of land? How about the starting place philosophically? Would you start at “you are what you eat?” Probably not. For the Christian, the good life starts with 1Chronicles 29:11.
