First Baptist Church of Cottondale

That’s new!! Our church has a new website, though it’s the same URL (http://fbccottondale.com) there’s a lovely new look to it. Very eye catching and all of our previous information has been ported over to the new site – along with some new pages and good quotes.
I really like this one:

We want you to know that there’s still a church that feels like a church. It won’t feel like a rock concert, comedy club, or motivational seminar. It’s not old-fashioned, as in 50 years ago. It is timeless, as in 2000 years ago.

Our hymns are a bit different, but they reflect the same message found 2000 years ago:

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. (Matthew 26:30 KJV)

Our pastor still preaches from scriptures, over 2000 years old:

And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. (Luke 4:17-21 KJV)

His sermons still offer the same good news that angels delivered:

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:10-11 KJV)

Those sermons tell how a person can be saved, too:

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. (Acts 16:30-32 KJV)

Now, if a person is seeking entertainment, fashion displays, life affirmation, or a number of other current buzzwords, you might not find our church comfortable – but I assure you, it would be good for you, just as promised:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 KJV)

The very best news is that ours isn’t the only church that offers all of the above plus fellowship with believers. If you’re not close enough to come to ours, look for these same things in a church near you. If you don’t find all of them the first time, look just a bit further. That’s in both the Old and New Testament:

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29 KJV)

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: (Acts 17:27 KJV)
