PASTOR’S THOUGHTS SENIOR PASTOR SAM VALVERDE
I AM ALPHA “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8 What Jesus is saying is that he is to be first. Alpha is the first letter in the Greek alphabet. He is the beginning, has best position and the highest priority – the most important. Let us make him first this year by… 1. Giving Him the First Part of Our Year – Prayerfully consider joining our 21 day fast (January 3 – 24, 2012). Each person knows their need, their desire and where they are in God. ATTENTION LIFE GROUP LEADERS
Whether you decide to offer a Daniel’s fast, to fast every day or to give up a meal or two per day – let us do it with all of our heart.
Join us as we come together to prepare our hearts for the next semester of Life Groups beginning the week of January 29th. We will enter into intimate moments of prayer and worship. Your spouse and apprentice are welcome. “The harvest is great but the labourers are few...”
2. Giving Him the First Part of Our Day – Even if only for ten or twenty minutes, let us pray first thing in the morning. His peace and calm will pervade your day and make you efficient, patient and Christ-like.
Friday, January 13, 2012 - 8:00 pm - Mid-night / Sanctuary
Let’s be labourers together!
3. Giving Him the First Day of Our Week – The first day of the week is called the Lord’s day. Sundays is primarily the day we give to the Lord. Football, recreation, relaxation and “doing nothing” has robbed many of the blessings of spending time in his presence and enjoying fellowship with other saints. On Sundays, let us begin with prayer at 9:30am and worship at 10am. continued on next page . . .

How to join a group: 4. Giving Him The First Part of Our Income – the tithe which is holy unto the Lord. When we joyfully submit our tithe we indicate that we have learned to fear the Lord. “And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.” Deuteronomy 14:23 5. Joining a Life Group – Giving the Lord an evening by meeting with other members of Christ’s body will strengthen our spirit and allow us to exercise our gifts.
Below are the ways you can join a group in your area or any group you prefer. (Sign-ups begin on January 22, 2012)
In the Courtyard January 22 & 29, 2012 Immediately following our Celebration Service During Church January 22 & 29, 2012 Just fill out the card you’ll be given and insert into the offering plate Online Beginning January 22 www.fountainoftruth.com
This weekly meeting is a place where members can invite their friends and those who need a touch of God into a non-threatening atmosphere. People need a place where they can believe and belong. 6. Giving Him Praise Constantly – “I will praise the Lord at all times; his praise will continuously be in my mouth.” Psalms 34:1 “The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.” Numbers 6:24-27 Making Him first in 2012,
