8 Scripture Reading Isaiah 57: And one shall say, Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would fail before Me, And the souls which I have made For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry, And he went on backsliding in the way of his heart I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, And restore comforts to him And to his mourners I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near, Says the Lord, And I will heal him But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt There is no peace, Says my God, for the wicked. Assurance of Pardon Psalm 86:5 For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. 8

16 HOW TO JOIN GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH Grace Baptist Church is an independent, Bible-believing church proclaiming the central message of the Scriptures: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day (I Cor. 15:3,4). Salvation comes not through our good works, but through faith in the finished work of Christ. We eagerly welcome all to join with us in worshiping our risen Lord! It is our conviction that every believer should seek out a doctrinally sound church, join it, and find a place of ministry to help fulfill the Great Commission. Membership in Grace Baptist Church has two pre-requisites: salvation and baptism. The Bible teaches that a person is saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ s death on the cross. The first step of obedience after salvation is baptism by immersion. There are three ways to join Grace Baptist Church: (1) by letter; (2) by statement; or (3) as a candidate for baptism. You can join by letter if you are saved and have been scripturally baptized under the direction of a church of like faith. You do not have to bring your letter with you; we will write your church. If your membership records have been lost or some other difficulty is present, you can join by statement. Finally, you can join by baptism. This would be the case if you are saved but have not yet been baptized, if you were baptized before you were saved, or if you were baptized in a church with a doctrinal position significantly different from that of Grace Baptist Church. The easiest way to get the ball rolling is to take our membership class or schedule an interview with a member of the council of elders. During this meeting, we will: * discuss and verify your salvation testimony * discuss and verify your baptism * review our doctrinal statement, church covenant, and membership expectations with you * learn from you how we can assist you in your spiritual growth May the Lord direct you in this important decision! Please feel free to call the church office at any time for more information. 16
