Born to Be Wild

 FIRST CHRISTIAN WYLIE…WEEKEND UPDATE…

Sunday:   10:45 am –Born to be Wild                                                                     Acts 4:1-14                                                          
Bruce Moilan presents a challenging message from the book of Acts, encouraging us to be bold in living out and sharing our faith.  As Peter and John affirmed in response to being forbidden to speak of Jesus, “We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” (v. 20)

Sunday School 9:30 to 10:30 am –Kathy Hawkins will be back to continue the exploration of the dramatic stories from the book of Judges.  This book presents a number of cycles of rebellion, retribution, repentance and rest.

Plan to come and be blessed!

We livestream Sunday am services on the church’s Facebook page, including communion and worship music, and post each Sunday’s message on our website (www.fccwylie.org) on Sunday afternoons. 

 

When you enter the sanctuary Sunday, after you are given a bulletin, stop by the communion table where the offering plates are located in the rear of the worship center and pick up your disposable communion cup. Then following the service, please dispose of it in the trash can. (Mark 10:45)

RADIO THIS WEEKEND 

One of the most discouraging things to church members is church conflict.  But there are practical, Biblical solutions to implement if conflict occurs. 

Dr. George Hillman, Vice President for Education of Dallas Theological Seminary, joins host Don Hawkins to discuss those solutions this weekend on Encouragement Live.

Encouragement Live can be heard Saturday at 7:05 PM central time on American Family Radio (90.5 FM) or (www.afr.net) and on theworshipchannel.org. Re-broadcast Sunday 9 pm on The Worship Channel

The Instruction of Grace

Pastor’s Pen… Special thanks to all who help sanitize our worship facilities for services each Saturday morning. Also, to those who make it possible for us to ‘live-stream’  on Facebook at 10:45 each Sunday morning, and to post each message on our website ( www.fccwylie.org ) each Sunday afternoon. Last Sunday evening I received a kind note from a pastor’s wife in Lahore, Pakistan, telling me they had listened to our Facebook service. Our church has been able during these trying days to have a worldwide impact!   We continue to hold our Sunday services with all safety protocols and pre-service sanitizing in place. No Sunday school yet, and the nursery is not available.  We will continue following the protocols as outlined by GA-18 guidance.  Face masks, social distancing, no physical contact. We use bulletins printed untouched by human hands, with songs, etc. printed therein, and pre-packaged communion elements. Offering plates are located at the rear, or giving...

The Secret of Christmas Peace

Image
  Pastor’s Pen… As  we noted last week, Christmas is a time of secrets! Secrets hidden away in closets, secrets  under the tree, unexpected visits from loved ones, there are many secrets it's around this special season. Last week we considered the secret of love, expressed in John 316 and in first John three and four. This weekend we consider the secret of peace, as we examine the shepherds. They were a familiar part of the Christmas story, as we learn in Luke 2. The message they heard from the angelic announcer, “Peace on earth, goodwill to men,” is one that resonates in our troubled day. For our Christmas Eve service (5 pm) my meditation will be on “The Ultimate Christmas Secret.” Next Sunday my friend Dr. Paul Pettit will preached for us; and on the first Sunday of the new year we will begin our series of messages through “The Fast Food Gospel.” Have you figured out which one it is yet? ***** We appreciate those who help sanitize our facilities for services each S...

How To Win Over Temptation

Image
Pastor’s Pen… The famous playwright Oscar Wilde once said, “I can resist anything…except temptation!”   The temptation has been a problem for the human race ever since Adam and Eve began a careful examination of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. In Numbers 20 Moses was tempted to exercise his anger at the Israelites by striking the rock a second time, when God had told him explicitly to speak to the rock. In 2 Samuel 11 David yielded to temptation when he observed Bathsheba bathing on a nearby rooftop. In Matthew 4, Jesus resisted three temptations launched by Satan, to turn stones into bread to satisfy hunger after a 40 day fast, to foolishly leap off the Temple in order to create a spectacular rescue, and to bow before Satan in exchange for being granted rule over the kingdoms of the world-- which was ultimately His right as God’s Son.   In Matthew 4:3 Satan is identified as the tempter. The problem is, when we hear his name, what often comes to mind is a Halloween ...
