What is something you wish you would have known when you were younger?

I wish that I would have taken advantage of the opportunities that I had when I was to know Jesus and grow in His faith. There is so much pain and difficulty I inflicted on myself because I refused to follow Jesus.

I had a lot of questions but was not really open to listen to the answers.

Jesus really is the answer to all the questions. In John 14:6 Jesus tell us, “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. “ Jesus invites us to Himself. He tells us that He is not just pointing the way – He IS the way. Jesus invites us to Himself, not to an idea, or a religion, or a philosophy. These words are a blessing to ears of everyone who is struggling (and we are all struggling in some way.) Jesus tells us that our human efforts cannot see us home, but He can.

We would love to meet you at FBC Eufaula! We are located at 400 West Foley in Eufaula. FBC Wednesday nights start each Wednesday at 6 p.m. with great ministries for Adults, Students and Children.
