Passing It On Through Revering God’s Word

2 Timothy 3:10-17

1. To pass it on, we must communicate that following God’s Word will not be

easy (2 Tim 3:10-12)

2. To pass it on, we must communicate the importance of continuing to

learn to apply God’s Word to one’s life (2 Tim 3:13-17)

I will revere God’s Word.

AXIOS: LBC STUDENT MINISTRY New year, new name! The youth group is undergoing some changes and we can’t wait for all youth to experience the new Liberty Baptist Youth Group. More than just a new name, we believe that this new identity will lead to new vision for the teens of Appomattox. 1 Thessalonians 2:12 says, “we exhorted each one of you and charged you to walk in a man-ner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.” This is going to be the mission of the youth group moving forward. Our desire is to see the youth of this town excited to live worthy lives for the kingdom of God. All youth grades 6 - 12 are invited to come and be a part!

AWANA BEGINS TONIGHT! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children age 2 through 6th grade: a new year of Liberty AWANA begins TONIGHT! Registration and Check-in will take place from 5-6 pm and our normal club schedule

We then mix in a varie-ty of silly theme nights, challenging competitions, and world-changing service opportunities to get your child excited to study God’s Word and grow in their faith. Sign up today at the following website! www.libertybc.twotimtwo.com
