Salem Baptist Church

September 11, 2016

Mission Statement The Salem Baptist Church is transforming lives by Exalting the

Savior, Evangelizing the Lost, Equipping the Saints and

Expanding the Kingdom of God.

(Matthew 22: 36-40; Matthew 28: 18-20)

2016

The Year of Rejoicing

“Serving God and One Another in the Spirit of Excellence”

Each saint of God should be a maturing disciple of Jesus Christ. In 2016 we expect each member to

aspire to a higher level of worship, relationship, discipleship and stewardship.

Ephes. 4:11-16 (NKJV)

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and

teachers, [12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body

of Christ, [13] till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to

a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; [14] that we should no longer

be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of

men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, [15] but, speaking the truth in love, may grow

up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- [16] from whom the whole body, joined and

knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part

does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

In this new year, each of us should renew our commitment to the Lord Jesus, to one another as brothers

and sisters in Christ, and to seeing lost souls served and saved.

Matthew 9:37-38 (NKJV)

Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

[38] Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
