We wish you the warmest welcome to First Baptist Church and are glad you have chosen to worship with us today. Our continual prayer is that our services will glorify God through his worship and the preaching of his word.
As our guest, we ask you to consider filling out a Connect Card. We’d love to know you were with us today and share a gift with you if possible. Likewise, please browse the FBCN Web App using the menus above. Through this app you can learn about our ministries, interact with us and even catch up on sermons from earlier in our schedule that you may have missed. We stream our services each week and archive them after a few months. It’s likely that you joined us in the middle of a series, but all earlier contents are available if you wish to catch up on our current study. Our app is also a permanent point of contact through the same Connect Card. If you make a decision, have a prayer request, or otherwise would like to interact with us, please feel free to submit a card with your request.
FBC Needville is oriented toward the historic understanding of the five-function church mission. Discipleship, Evangelism, Fellowship, Ministry, and Worship are the heart and soul of our practice as we orient ourselves toward these essential functions regularly. We have teams of faithful and dedicated workers serving in each of these ministry focuses year around. We also hope that you will find us a welcoming and friendly church. We’re truly glad you are with us and will do whatever we can to make our ministry to you worth your time and involvement.

Rick Branan |
But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; afterward, at His coming, those who belong to Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:20-23 (HCSB)
Alfred E. Brumley was born: October 29, 1905, near Spiro, Oklahoma and died: November 15, 1977, Springfield, Missouri. He is buried in the Fox Cemetery, Powell, Missouri.
Brumley attended the Hartford Musical Institute in Hartford, Arkansas, and sang with the Hartford Quartet. He went on to teach at singing schools in the Ozarks, and lived most of his life in Powell, Missouri. He worked for 34 years as a staff writer for the Hartford and Stamps/Baxter publishing companies, then founded the Albert E. Brumley & Sons Music Company and Country Gentlemen Music. He later bought the Hartford Music Company. He wrote over 800 Gospel and other songs during his life. He was inducted into the Country Song Writers Hall of Fame in 1970.

I’ll Fly Away
Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away O glory
I'll fly away (in the morning)
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have grown
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end
I'll fly away
Written by Alfred E. Brumley
Do you think about death? Truthfully, I don’t think about my own very often. I worked for a funeral home for a time. Interesting work. Death and being prepared for death were on everyone’s mind when they came to make arrangements. Now, we are all going to die unless Christ returns before then. Either way, we need to be prepared. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians that we are going to die because of Adam and his sin. That curse follows all of us. But Paul reminds us that we can live eternally because of Christ and His grace.
Preparation looks for hope in something. Hope is a big thing in this world. Jesse Jackson used the mantra, “keep hope alive” in his speech to the Democratic Convention in 1988. Unfortunately, he was placing his hope on the government. We need to put our hope in Jesus. Alfred E. Brumley wrote, “Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away to a land where joys shall never end.” Our eternal hope is in Christ and nothing else. Share that hope this week.

The book of Joel is probably the earliest and most comprehensive prophetic vision concerning events not yet witnessed by history. Particularly when overlayed to the book of Revelation, yet written many centuries earlier, this short book provides a spectacular and devastating portrayal of "The Day of the Lord," as scripture often titles the final judgments of God which will preceed the end of the age.

The 2024 Third Quarter Giving was under our spending. Please continue to generously support the ministries of our church.
The Stewardship Team reinvested the CD using monies from our special funds. The interest earned will help offset our deficit.
Praying for our church has started showing real tangible benefits – God is putting it on people’s hearts to step up to meet the demand of His church in unprecedented ways. Multiple members are giving specifically to funds that are meaningful to them. In addition to traditional funds supported - like STCH, Youth, and Ukraine Relief - new funds receiving support include Meals, Bereavement, Lights, Local Projects, Piano Fund, Breakfast, and Outreach. At least two new ministries of the church have been newly enacted – the Blessing Box and the Women's Ministry – both which reach out to our community. We encourage all Members to find a ministry or need of the church and participate in fulling that mission, either thru volunteering or thru financial support.
