Scripture for Sunday (8/15/2021)

From the First Baptist Church:
It is that time of year again and we are doing our Adopt an Eagle program again this year! We had such an amazing outpouring of support last year that we decided for sure to do this program again! We are kindly asking you to please let your congregation know that the program is ready to have folks sign up for their Eagles for this year! Please let them know that they can call the office (325-446-2125) to sign up or they can email us and we can get them plugged in with a JISD staff member that way. We so appreciate the help of everyone to get the word out to get these staff members adopted out!! Thank you all so much and be blessed!!

Scripture for Sunday
Philip. 3:1-11 (ESV)
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. [2] Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. [3] For we are the real circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— [4] though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: [5] circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; [6] as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness, under the law blameless. [7] But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. [8] Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ [9] and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— [10] that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, [11] that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
