News and Notes
Jesus said that the gates of
hell would not prevail against
His church. He wasn't speaking about a particular church
or denomination. He was
speaking about the body of
believers, those who have
committed their lives to Him.
What did He mean when
He said that the gates of hell
would not prevail against us?
What were some of the responsibilities that He gave us?
Are we being faithful to the
things that He entrusted to us?
I will attempt to answer
these and other questions
about the church of the Lord
Jesus Christ this Sunday
morning at 10:30. Please join
with us. God bless you!
As Christians we believe
that Jesus (which means Savior) and Christ (which means
Messiah) and that he is the
Lord of Lords and the King of
Kings.
He holds a special place in
the hearts of Christians because of all that he has done
for us. He is our Lord, Savior,
healer, deliverer—He is everything to us.
We invite you to join with
us at 10:30 Sunday morning
as we worship our Lord and
Savior.
May the Lord's richest
blessings be yours during this
wonderful time of the year
and throughout the new year.

News and Notes
Greetings from the desk of
Pastor Larry at Freedom In
Christ.
How is your prayer life
doing a midst the busyness
of your day? Would you like
more time to pray? Would you
like an opportunity to pray with
others? The bible all throughout both the old and new testaments, speaks to us about the
importance of prayer not just in
times of need but all throughout our daily lives.
God wants to spend time
with us and He wants us to
want to spend time with Him.
Freedom In Christ has an opportunity for those that want to
have more prayer time beyond
their own daily quiet time with
God.
Our Tuesday night prayer
service is open to all that want
to pray together We believe
that God is calling His people
to earnest, desperate, bold and
persistent prayer not limited
just to our own needs but also
for His people, our city of Everett and our country.
Prayer is what God calls us
to do for the ups and downs of
life because that is what will
bring us closer to Him. In the
good times we should praise
Him for His blessings and in
hard times we should draw
close to Him because we need
Him.
For many of us though when
things are going well we forget
about God and when things are
difficult we blame Him for the
circumstances. It all depends
on our outlook. Believe me
God wants to be close to you.
The bible says draw near to
God, and God will draw near
to you.
If you want to know more
about God and how prayer can
affect your life, your first step,
if you haven’t already done so
is to give your heart to God’s
one and only son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus is ever there knocking on
the door of our hearts wanting
to come into our life, all we
have to do is open the door and
say Jesus come into my life.
If you are regularly gathering with other believers at a
meeting house or church building where the Gospel of Jesus
Christ is preached, Praise the
Lord! If you are not though let
me extend an invitation to join
us here at Freedom In Christ for
any of our services or consider
attending another Bible believing, bible preaching church and
see what you may be missing.
Our services are:
Sunday School at 10:00 am
Sunday Worship at 11:00 am
Tuesday Prayer Meeting at
7:00 pm
Wednesday Bible Study at
6:00 pm
Thursday Revival Service at
7:00 pm
If you want to join a Saturday outreach give us a call to
find out time and meeting location!
If you want to find out more
about Jesus feel free to give a
call anytime at 617-319-2449.
