BREAKOUT SESSIONS
Breakout sessions begin at 11:00. We hope you’ll join us after the service:

• **NEW** Book of Genesis with Paul Eslinger – An interactive bible study for adults.
  – This new session will focus on the metanarrative of scripture. In Genesis, God reveals himself to man in a way that explains our origins, the origins of good and evil, and some of his plan for us, which includes a wonderful future for those who believe. God’s plan started before time began, as the Apostle Paul told Titus in Titus 1:2 “…in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.” Join us as we open the word of God and learn more about him.
  – Meets in Room 303
• Workshop: Discussing and Applying a Sermon with Alan Zacher – All ages are welcome
  – Meets in the MPR

A NOTE FROM PASTOR TIM
FBC Richland family and friends,
A quick update from the Walkers: COVID has finally found its way to our home. We’ve got a couple positive tests, a couple negative tests, and a few more with symptoms. Out of a heart toward caution and care for our church family, I am choosing to stay away one more week. We miss y’all immensely but continue to serve from afar and will join you again for Sunday’s Main Session via YouTube. Thank you all for the sweet care and timely front-porch-supply-drop-offs. Thank you also to the staff and elders who have so willingly stepped up to cover some of my duties. Make sure and reach out to me if you need anything.

Thanks,
Pastor Tim

Great Intentions

Jeff Stachofsky

13 Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.
14 When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.
15 When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!”
17 They *said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
19 Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,
20 and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.
21 There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
Matthew 14:13-21 NASB

As we study together…

What does the passage say?

Key words/phrases?

Major theological terms?

Commands?

Promises?

Difficult words/phrases?

What does the passage mean?

Context? (never interpret less than a paragraph)

How would the original hearers receive this?

Key word definitions?

Parallel Biblical teachings?

Can you communicate the point of this passage in a simple phrase?

As we leave on mission…

What must I do in response?

How does this truth apply to my life?

Personally?

As the church?

In my community?

What steps do I need to take to apply this?
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based Goals)

To whom will I be accountable?
(reach out and ask… follow up)

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together. You need to “rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.

This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.

From Kristin:
I work with national partners all over the world, but am currently based in Arizona. While I’m based in AZ, I will Lord willing soon be traveling to visit national partners in the Middle East and Asia.

My calling is to use my gifts in Bible scholarship and my multicultural background to serve the global church, particularly for purposes of growing church unity, and helping the church to fulfill its peacemaking commission from Christ. My work is all about 1) bridging cultural gaps to deepen our understanding and love for God’s Word, and 2) breaking down dividing walls of hostility according to Eph. 2:11-22, so that we can be one even as Christ and the Father are one, and so that we can be a display of His glory to the world.

Right now, I’m working on my PhD in Bible and cross-cultural missiology, and have just begun to collaborate on a very exciting project with another organization based in AZ. This organization has an entire team of people who do exactly the kind of training and resource development work that I’m called to do, and I have the privilege of joining them on The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, where we are using Ephesians 2 to develop resources made by and for the global church, to help Christians everywhere to address conflict and violence with the gospel, and to give us new tools for reaching our neighbors with Christ’s gospel of peace.

Prayer Requests:

• I praise God for the truly miraculous ways that He brought me in contact with The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, and the many more-than-coincidental ways that He has provided for my financial needs, and for this project thus far.
• Please pray with me for God’s continued provision on The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, and on my PhD work.
• Pray for the strength and wisdom necessary to do this work, that the attacks of the Enemy against us would be thwarted, and that financial provisions would continue to come in and increase.

To make a one-time gift to Kristin’s ministry, you may choose “Ministry of the Month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option or click here to give on our website.

Paul’s Case for Grace:

1. Our Motive
1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1 (NASB)

Freedom –
Stand firm –
Don’t Submit –

2. Our Opportunity
13 For you were called to freedom brother; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”.
15 But if you bite and devour on another, take care lest you be consumed by one another.
16 But I say walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:13-16 (NASB)

Opportunity –
Love –
Walk –

3. Our Means
24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let also walk by the Spirit.
26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5:24-26 (NASB)

Crucified flesh –
Live and walk –
Stay humble –

Grace Kitchen

Amanda Lorraine, Founder & CEO

Grace Kitchen is a ministry that exists in order to empower and employ women out of poverty in the Tri-Cities area through the daily work of discipleship, friendship, job training, and employment. We seek to meet the needs of some of the most marginalized women in our city and proclaim the amazing news of our risen Savior. Through the production of our gourmet dried food products, catering, and eventually having a food truck and a retail store, we equip women in our city to become confident, self sufficient and Christ dependent. This ministry enables women to learn to work and eventually support themselves and their families apart from relying solely on government programs or destructive relationships.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for me as the director to steward the time I have well, and for wisdom from God to lead this organization with Christ-centered humility, boldness, and courage that only comes from the Lord.
• Pray for our protection as we are in a more dangerous area of our city, and it is all women in the building most of the time.
• Pray for Sue (Assistant director) as she works directly with the ladies assisting them with tutoring, computer skills, resumes, & discipling. This isn’t an easy job when you are working with women who have experienced a lot of trauma in their lives.
• Pray for our Thursday leadership team, that God would continue to give them wisdom and truth to speak as they walk alongside new women each week. We often see the effects of trauma, prostitution, and addiction, and we need the Holy Spirit to guide each of us as we seek to tenderly care for these women’s needs.
• Pray for the women currently enrolled in our program that they would see Jesus for who He really is and want to fully surrender their lives to Him.
• Pray for the women that God would provide housing, stability, and continued sobriety so they can be fully reunited with their children.
• Pray for these women that they would learn the truth of God’s word and find their hope and salvation in Christ alone through the numerous bible studies we teach weekly.

To make a one-time gift (love offering) to Grace Kitchen you may choose “Missionary of the Month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here. Alternatively, you may visit their website to contribute directly to them.

Steve & Mendi Everett

Steve and Mendi have been serving with ABWE since 2001. For 10 years of that time they lived and served in southern Brazil assisting in church planting as well directing a retreat center called Sitio da Esperança. This property was used to offer “like-minded” churches in the area a place for retreats, baptisms, sporting events, training opportunities and classes, Bible study groups, and family events. It was a great way for churches to encourage their flocks and grow in their fellowship. It also was a great way to evangelize through sporting tournaments, youth rallies, and youth/adult retreats.

They are now based in Salem, OR and have an emphasis on partnering with Brasilian ministry workers to further the gospel reach worldwide. They are partnering with them in an effort to reach further into their communities or the communities they work in through teaching English, running sports camps, construction projects, offering specific training modules, or anything else within the skill sets the Lord has given them that aids in reaching others for the Lord. Their desire is to allow their national partners dictate what type of help and ministry is needed.

As a bonus, they get to share these things with churches in the US in hopes of inspiring and encouraging Christians to jump on board with what God is doing around the world. And by “jumping on board” they mean by going on short-term missions trips or contributing financially towards these ministries and national partners.

Steve’s Mom and Grandma are both former members of First Baptist Church. Mendi is also a former member, and attended First Baptist in her jr. high and high school years, so they both have long time ties to this church.

To make a one-time gift (love offering) to the Everetts, you may choose “missionary of the month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here.
Alternatively, you may visit their ABWE giving page.
