Suncoast Baptist Port Charlotte

Suncoast Baptist Church
We here at Suncoast Baptist Church look forward to hosting the August FBBF meeting.  We have drawn the theme for our meeting from the words of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:22 where he said he was made all things to all men, that he might by all means save some. 
      Paul and the First Century Christians were accused by some of turning the world upside down (cf. Acts 17:6), but they did not do it without great difficulty.  I don’t know what your experience is these days but it seems difficult sometimes to get believers excited about the things of God.  To read the great preachers of yesteryear like Charles Spurgeon and D.L. Moody and the great preachers of our day like David Jeremiah, it always has been difficult.
      How do we reach the lost in our fast-paced, hi-tech, sex-saturated, entertainment-crazed society?  Evidently, not without great diversity.  We may not agree as to what methods may work the best in our individual situations, but I am persuaded that it would further the kingdom of God to discuss them. 
      For this reason we are including an informal “brain storming” session over dessert to discuss some methods that might be of some help in reaching the lost.  We plan on sharing a few things we have done and are doing here at Suncoast.  In addition, I have asked Joe Murray, from Harmony, FL to share with us again, as he has month by month, the way that he and his family and church family are making connections with their community.  I have also asked Greg Peters and Russell Johnson, two friends who have shown a propensity for ingenuity in reaching their communities for Christ, to speak from their hearts from the Word of God.
      The food and fellowship will be great.  The content of our meeting will be beneficial. And the preaching and praise time will be a blessing.  I believe this meeting will be a good investment for your ministry.  We hope that you will come and invest in it yourselves.
