Franklin Baptist Church

The past two weeks we have explored that we each have a part to play in God's plan. This week we shift focus and prepare for our new series. Come along for The Great Restoration Project - the Prequel. It all starts with hope in the gospel.

We each have a part to play in God's plan. This Sunday we continue to discover where is our fit. As we do this, we are guided by our church values and our faith in a God who calls us to "act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly." Micah 6:8. While seeking God for our part to play in His plan take a look at this list of places where you could serve.

We look at "Which part do you play - finding your fit." with Sandra.

We look at "Slow Beginnings" with Sandra.

This week we look at "Dark Beginnings". Often we have negative thoughts towards the dark, but let's reframe that!! Have a read of Luke 10:38-42 and Jeremiah 17:7-8 as we prepare our hearts for what God has in store!!

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, a...

In our second week of ADVENT... PEACE, Sandra Bruin shares how we can find peace in the midst of the storms we often find ourselves in. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

"Journeying together in justice, mercy, and humility." Josh, Carol and Rachel share their insights and reflections with us from the Baptist National Hui.

Rachel focuses on the scripture Jeremiah 17:5-8 Journeying in Faith: Trusting God Along the Way. This is what the Lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord. That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt la...
