First Baptist Church Richland

First Baptist Church reaches out to people in our area in a variety of ways.  Recently our revival brought in many from our region.  During the Fall Festival we saw hundreds and hundreds of community folks on our campus.  The upcoming Ladies’ Night Out will bring in hundreds more.  The wonderful Christmas music is just around the corner.  But don’t forget word of mouth.  The personal invitation to Sunday school or church worship is the number one way to reach a disconnected world.
        And speaking of word of mouth:  never underestimate the power of sharing a good word for your church.  When something happens at a bar, people tell it and soon the news is all over town.  The Bible teaches, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.”  Tell your neighbors and friends what God is doing through First Baptist Church.  People are being saved.  The Word of God is being taught.  Lives are being committed to the Lord.  The music takes us to the very throne of God every week.  The youth and children’s ministries are superb.  May His name be praised.

        Have you recently considered what a wonderful job God did when He made you?  Consider your brain.  It contains about ten billion nerve fibers.  Each of these neurons is connected to surrounding cells by a network of fibers called axions and dendrites and has as many as 10,000 fibers leading from it to other cells.  As a result, the number of possible interconnections between the cells of your gray matter is many times larger than the number of atoms in the entire universe.
        Your brain can consider ten thousand separate factors at any one time.  In fact, a normal human brain has enough capacity to know everything that is known in the entire world, if there were enough time to learn it.
        A scientist tried to compute the monetary value of one brain.  In the book, The Computer Age, it was noted that the brain has about 10 million urion cells.  He calculated that if these were worth five cents each, and the connections were worth one cent each, it would cost a quintillion dollars to build a human brain computer.  That’s a billion, billion dollars - more money than held by all the governments of the world.
        That’s just one more way God has to show you are a valuable person.  The Psalmist wrote, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful.” (Psalm 139:14)
