Welcome
Thank you for joining us in worship today. We praise God for what He is doing and how lives
are being changed. At Faith Assembly of God, our services are designed to be powerful and
inspiring. Our goal is to incorporate video, drama, multi-media, and a blend of contemporary
music with heartfelt worship to complement the Biblical message of the day. We talk about the
issues you face every day and connect God’s wisdom and Word to your life. Our prayer is that
our services challenge and touch you as you grow in your relationship with Christ and with
those around you.
Sharing Life Together,
Rodney Murphy
Lead Pastor

Celebrate Recovery
>>
Thursdays Nights at 6:00 PM in the FLC
Celebrate Recovery has achieved gratifying results by offering “wholeness” to people
everywhere. This program is not simply to recover from past sins and hurts, but to become
Christ-like in character. Celebrate Recovery is not just a means of ‘recovery’ for those struggling
with drugs and alcohol. It is for individuals dealing with overeating, sexual addiction, shame and
guilt, co-dependency, and other hurts, habits and hang-ups. Celebrate Recovery provides a safe
environment where people can deal with their issues in anonymity and experience life-change.
Groups meet weekly on Thursdays from 6:00 PM– 9:00 PM in our Family Life center.
Registration is not necessary to participate and you do not need to be a member or attendee of
Faith Assembly to attend.

How to be Dissatisfied
1 Timothy 6:6-8; Luke 12:16-21
How to be dissatisfied
1. Become great at being ______________________.
Hebrews 12:28
2. Compare what you ____________ to people who have ____________.
2 Corinthians 10:12
3. Pursue _____________________ possessions over ________________ treasures.
Luke 12:15
4. Resent ______________ for where you are in life.
Psalm 43:2
5. Develop an attitude of __________________________.
Romans 6:23
How we live reveals what we believe
What __________________ offers is not as ___________ as what this world offers.
Philippians 3:7-8
Think About It
1. What is your biggest dissatisfaction with your life?
2. Of the five steps to be dissatisfied, which one do you identify with the most? Why?
3. How we live reveals what we believe. Many people live as if what Christ offers is not
as good as what the world offers. Read Philippians 4:11-13. How is Christ more than
enough in your greatest dissatisfaction?
