Reviving Our Faith

Sparta Baptist Church is a body of Christians who love to serve the Lord.  We are blessed to have our church so that we can worship together.  We are a small body but are excited to grow as we witness to others and allow God to move amongst us.  We are eager to see where God will take us in the coming days, weeks, and years! 

Easter Sunday is close upon us.  We are extremely excited to welcome visiting pastor, Jason Holbrook to our church.  We pray that the Lord uses him to give us strength as we grow.  We pray that many will come out and see the revived Sparta Baptist Church, as we welcome everyone. 

Spring is God's way of making everything new.  Trees, plants and flowers are revived from a long harsh winter.  Their emerging every spring, reminds us that we also can be revived and made new.  As we celebrate Easter Sunday, remember that no matter the trials we are all going through, the Lord loves us so much that he sent his only Son to die on the cross for our sins.  And just like the promise was made that Jesus would rise from death, He also promises to protect us and take care of us.  He uses trials to build our Faith.  Allow Him to build yours.  Have Faith that He will take care of everything. 

Matthew 28:5 - 7
         5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

  1. What a positive summary of our faith! I believe that our God is a God of love and peace. He has called us to bear fruit. I am thankful for every member of our church body. It takes us all working as a team for our God, to accomplish great things.
