This morning in worship, we continue the sermon series, “What Kind of Church?” This series asks three important questions: What is the universal church called to be? What kind of church makes God’s heart glad? What kind of church will make the strongest gospel impact in our fractured, anxious world?
The message today is “The Scent of the Spirit” from John 6:35, 41-51. Accompanying scripture passages are Psalm 34:1-8 and Ephesians 4:25-5:2.
We welcome to the pulpit Rev. Dr. Charlie Fuller. Charlie is a former Executive Pastor of The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, DC. After failing at retirement, he is currently director of Pathways to Ministry and Coach in Residence for Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. Pathways to Ministry is a nearly quarter-century-old ministerial preparation program that, among other things, hires ministerial residents for two-year terms to engage in the practice of ministry.
In addition to his time with First Baptist, Charlie has also been a music professor, dean, music minister, chaplain, and transition pastor. The position in Dallas has brought him and his wife Cindy near to their two daughters and four grandchildren who live in the Dallas suburbs. Charlie is truly excited for the privilege of coming back home to FBCDC!
