Final Night of Gospel Meeting Stresses Discipleship, Evangelism

Fred reminds us that discipleship is the key to transforming our world, our society, our communities and our local church. Evangelism begins with the knowledge that “Christ died for me”. From there, one can prioritize their life in such a way that God can use them to see the people he puts in their life as potential children of God.

Essentials of Leadership Needed to Accomplish God’s Kingdom Agenda

Fred Hall brought another dynamic message to an audience containing many church leaders and their families from Matador and surrounding communities. The final installment of the Fall Gospel Meeting will be tonight at 7 pm when Fred will be discussing “Challenges Facing Evangelism”. Everyone is welcome to come hear Fred Hall and plan to stay for supper following the lesson.

God Ordained Family Structure Focus of Monday Night Presentation

A large crowd gathered at the Matador church of Christ last night to hear Fred Hall share thoughts from the scriptures. Fred’s focus was on the Biblical family. Fred used Ephesians chapter 6 as well as other scriptures, from the Proverbs especially, to highlight God’s preferred plan for families. Fred discussed leadership, discipline and honoring parents. Many young people in the audience that were present were benefited by this Biblical wisdom as well.

“Challenges Facing Leadership” is tonight’s lesson topic. The message will encompass all aspects of Biblical leadership and, more specifically, challenges leaders face in today’s world. Join us at 7 pm for Fred’s presentation and be sure to remain afterwards for a complimentary supper.
