Turning Troubles, Trials & Tragedy Into Triumph From the Series: Promise & Purpose: Experiencing God’s Best by Pastor Bill Grant Listen On Line www.elcaminobaptist.org
let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2
To Our Guests We are excited that you have chosen to worship with us today. We hope that you find our fellowship warm and friendly, the message meaningful and practical, and that you encounter God in a life-transforming way. Please take a moment and fill out the Guest Card located in the seat in front of you and place it in the offering bag as it is passed. As our guest we do not want you to feel obligated to participate in the offering unless you have a desire to; this is how those who call El Camino Baptist their church home support its ministries. If you have children with you, we encourage you to take advantage of our great preschool and children’s worship. This will free you and others to give full attention to worship and God’s Word — and your kid (s) will have a great time. See someone from Guest Services for assistance.

Happy Friend Day "You are My friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:14 Help Bring the Kingdom Come with Every Act of Love Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is born of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God -- for God is love. 1 John 4:7-8 God’s love is so Amazing... To really know and fathom His love, we read about it in the scriptures and think about it and try to understand how to live it. The greatness of His love is very evident by His desire to have fellowship with us—for eternity—so He sent his son Jesus Christ into this world to secure it. Since He cannot have fellowship with sin, He chose to pay the penalty for sin Himself by His son dying and rising again to secure forgiveness of sin for us. His love is so great and so divine that to perfect our fellowship with Him, He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in us and to live through us which is the full expression of His love perfected. How shall we then live? Continue to love one another that your love grows more perfect as His love is. For, "God is love, and all who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect." 1 John 4:16-17
So Little children, As the song says,
“God put a million doors for His love to walk through and one of those doors is you. We bring the Kingdom come with every act of love. Jesus help us carry You. Alive in us, Your light shines through. With every act of love. We bring the Kingdom come.”
