“Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power.” Psalms 145:4 NLT — The next generation will know Christ in us by the way we love them and the way we disciple them. 🧡 Parents, we are praying for you and encouraging you as you seek opportunities to sew seeds of love, to show them pure joy, and to display steadfast faith before your children while you have them near this summer. 🙏 
You are accepted. (Romans 15:7) You are not alone. (Matthew 28:20) You are a new creation. (2 Cor. 5:17) You are forgiven and redeemed. (Ephesians 1:7) You are holy and dearly loved. (Colossians 3:12) You are set free. (Galatians 5:1)

Our kids teach us so much about faith and about showing up for life with expectancy! We had such a great time doing ropes courses, riding horses, playing in the water, and learning about Jesus with them over the weekend at Lake Forest Ranch. We’re also celebrating with THREE First Gulfport Kids who put their faith in Christ at camp! Join us in celebrating with them and praying that lifelong seeds of faith were planted in all of their hearts. 🧡 
How do we make a real difference in our families, our churches, our communities, and our nation? We rely on God, every moment of every day, to do what ONLY He can do. We pray unceasingly for God to work in hearts and minds as only He can. We start by walking with God in PRAYER. 🙏 
When we sing about who He is, we’re reminded of who we are. 🙌 Join us for a Life Group at 9am + worship with us tomorrow at 10:30am, in-person or online! fbcgulfport.org/live

Almost 125 years ago, an eighteen-year-old Bertha Amis recognized a need for a youth Sunday school class in her “Mississippi City” (now Gulfport) community. Meeting under live oaks, in homes, or in a sidetracked railway car like the one pictured, Bertha followed the Lord’s leading in her life and helped cultivate meaningful community where there was a need. As her Sunday school grew into First Baptist Gulfport 125 years later, we are reminded that we don’t have to be fully-grown, fully-matured Christians with ample resources or comfortable meeting spaces in order to meet a need. We are empowered to #LiveSent in our communities when we trust in the Spirit to give us the words, the opportunities, and the openness to reach our community for Christ! #FBG125 “Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’” John 20:21
