Ninety
minutes after Don Piper was declared dead as a result of a devastating head-on collision with an eighteen wheeler, he miraculously
returned to life. Don spent the next 13 months in a hospital bed recovering from the massive injuries he suffered and the
34 surgeries needed to mend his broken body. As he faced a grueling recovery, vivid memories of heaven sustained him. His
experiences prompted him to study what the Bible says about heaven, how to get there, what it’s like, and how embracing
heaven changes everything while we are still on earth.The seven weeks of this study will provide those in attendance with a deeper understanding
of heaven.
Don Piper is the New York Times best-selling author of
90 Minutes in Heaven, which has
sold more than 4 million copies worldwide. He is an ordained minister with an MDiv from New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary. As an internationally in-demand communicator, he speaks to more than 250 audiences each year.

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Begins Thursday,
January 7th from 6:30 to 8:30pm
BETH
MOORE - DANIEL
Join Beth Moore in a faith-building study of prophecy, and
learn how to shine for Christ in our modern culture. Just as the prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressures— to compromise
his faith, to live in a hostile culture, and confront temptations and threats—today's believers face many of the same
trials. A 12-week study examines the life of Daniel in an extremely contemporary way. Then explore the fascinating prophecies
from the time of Daniel through the second coming of Christ. Five daily studies and 1 video worksheet per week show you how
individuals can live with integrity in today's self-absorbed society.
For more information call the church
office.

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv "This we have to fear as the greatest and nearest danger, that Satan take from us the pure doctrine of faith, and bring
into the Church again the doctrine of works and man's traditions. Wherefore, it is very necessary, that this doctrine be kept
in continual practice and public exercise both of reading and hearing. . . . Wherefore, this doctrine can never be taught,
urged, and repeated enough. If this doctrine be lost, then also the whole knowledge of truth, life, and salvation lost and
gone. If this doctrine flourish, then all good things flourish, religion, the true service of God, the glory of God, the right
knowledge of all things and all states of life." Martin Luther vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
