Gainesville Bible Church
We all know that all of humanity is created with a soul by God. A by-product of these individual souls is the ability to feel – we were endowed by our Creator with emotions. Emotions are expressions of our inner psyche: anger, joy, frustration, humor, depression, fear, happiness… There is one book of the Bible that was given as a vehicle or medium for expression of the entire gamut of emotions to our Creator. The book of Psalms is that book. No emotion or human condition is absent from this book. Wherever you are in life – whatever you feel – the Psalmist has experienced and expressed that very emotion in this book. Why don’t you join us this Sunday at Gainesville Bible Church as we continue in our study of this marvelous book – the Psalms. Our hearts seeking His.
Our meeting times are:
Sunday
Sunday School: 9:30 a.m.

Vilott Baptist Church News
Our Pastor Rick Isham brought a beautiful message from the Lord Sunday. God's message to us about the baptism of Jesus showing the world how it is to be done was amazing. There are so many examples of how we are supposed to love and trust the Lord in His word. Luke Chapter 3:22 says, "The Holy Ghost descended in a shape like a dove upon Him and a voice came from Heaven which said Thou art My beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."
Hearing the Word preached and the hallelujahs in agreement was magnificent. Please come and join in with us as we worship the Lord in truth and spirit. If you are looking for a church that loves the Lord, become a member. Step out and let the world know you are a part of a church that serves the Lord.
With these things on our minds, we look forward to serving as many as the Lord puts in our path. So come be with us; we will hold the door open to all that want to hear the Gospel. Those that want to sing praise or pray for all in need are always welcome.
Our church serves the Lord all over the world through missions both foreign and domestic.
