Due to the popularity and national attention generated by a recent CNN piece about our church sign, we have received a few requests that we post our messages on our website.  No claim is made that these are all original but some are.  If they are helpful to you, you may use them. In the interest of completeness, messages that were announcing events have been included.  NOTE: The dimensions of this church sign require a maximum of 20 characters and spaces per line with a typical maximum of 4 lines of message.

HUMILITY IS LIKE

UNDERWEAR:

ESSENTIAL BUT

NOT TO BE FLAUNTED

(Same week, opposite side of sign)

WE COME THE NEAREST

TO GREATNESS

WHEN WE BECOME

HUMBLE

 

GRATITUDE

IS A VIRTUOUS

ATTITUDE

 

OCCUPY

HEAVEN'S STREET

(Same week, opposite side of sign)

BETTER TO FAIL

WITH HONOR

THAN TO SUCCEED

BY FRAUD

 

RELIABILITY

IS AN IMPORTANT

ABILITY

 

COURTESY:

"DO UNTO OTHERS

AS YOU WOULD HAVE

OTHERS DO TO YOU"

 

OCTOBER 16-19 @ 7 P.M.

SPEAKER: MIKE COURSON

MUSIC: PRAISE BAND

FROM FLORA F.C.C.

 

COURAGE IS

FOLLOWING DREAMS

INSTEAD OF

RUNNING FROM FEARS

 

RESPONSIBILITY:

IF YOU MESS UP

FESS UP

 

SELF-DISCIPLINE:

MAKING CHOICES

BASED ON VALUES

 

AN OUNCE OF OBEDIENCE

IS WORTH

A TON OF PROMISES

(Same week, opposite side of sign)

TRUST AND OBEY:

FOR THERE IS NO OTHER WAY

TO BE HAPPY

IN JESUS

 

RESPECT:

HONORING GOD

AND ONE ANOTHER

(Same week, opposite side of sign)

RESPECT:

THE MORE YOU GIVE

THE MORE YOU GET

 

JESUS SAID,

IF YOU LOVE ME

YOU WILL SERVE ME

(JOHN 21:15)

(Same week, opposite side of sign)

SERVICE:

THE RENT YOU PAY

ON THE SPACE YOU USE

ON EARTH

 

SMALL GOOD DEEDS

ARE BETTER THAN

BIG GOOD INTENTIONS

 

READING THIS SIGN

IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE

FOR ATTENDING CHURCH

 

(This series of messages changed each day for a full week)

SINCE JESUS IS

THE WAY

SHOULDN'T HE

BE FOLLOWED?

 

SINCE JESUS IS

THE TRUTH

SHOULDN'T HE

BE BELIEVED?

 

SINCE JESUS IS

THE LIFE

SHOULDN'T HE

BE ENJOYED?

 

SINCE JESUS IS

WISE

SHOULDN'T HE

BE CONSULTED?

 

SINCE JESUS IS

GOD

SHOULDN'T HE

BE WORSHIPPED?

 

SINCE JESUS IS

KING

SHOULDN'T HE

BE OBEYED?

 

SINCE JESUS IS

LORD

SHOULDN'T HE HAVE

THE FINAL SAY?

 

SINCE JESUS

LOVES YOU

SHOULDN'T YOU

LOVE HIM?

 

WORRY DOESN'T REMOVE

TOMORROW'S PROBLEMS.

IT ROBS TODAY'S PEACE.
