Welcome November with a Heart of Thanksgiving!
November ushers in a season of change accompanied by a spirit of thanksgiving and a feeling of joy. Outside the leaves on the trees are in full bloom bursting with bright colors of orange, red, green and yellow. The air is crisp. Autumn has set in. Landscapes become beautiful portraits to look at in our quiet times. What a beautiful feeling we can experience, if we allow ourselves the pleasure of enjoying God’s creation. November marks a time for gratitude and appreciation for life’s blessings. Anticipation hangs in the balances as we await the festive holiday of Thanksgiving. A special day and moment in time that we look forward to sharing good food, good conversation and a good time with family and friends. As you are waiting Polite Temple, I encourage you to: ● Keep spiritually, rejoicing and praying, giving thanks to God along your journey. (I Thessalonians 5:16-18) ● Keep sharing and showing spiritual encouragement towards others along your spiritual journey. (Isaiah 43:1-11) ● Keep sharing and showing the Lord’s enduring joy and spiritual love along your journey. (John 13:34) ● Keep exhibiting and demonstrating that the spiritual word of the Lord is in your heart along your journey. (Psalm 119:11) ● Keep sharing and showing spiritual compassion and humility one towards another along your journey. (Colossians 3:12-14) ● Keep showing and sharing, spiritual thankfulness, and spiritual gratitude along your journey. (I Chronicles 16:34) Keep all these things, “With A Heart of Thanksgiving!” Much love, blessings and peace for a Happy Thanksgiving! Pastor & Family “See I Am Doing A New Thing: God’s Will, God’s Way!” (Isaiah 43:18-19) The Year of Embracing the Change

Our Doctrinal Statement
We the, Polite Temple Baptist Church, believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God in doctrine and life & that Jesus Christ was 100% man and was 100% God manifested in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.
Salvation
We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and all are in need of God's salvation through Jesus Christ.
|
The Holy Trinity
We believe in the Triune God; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Eternal Life
We believe Jesus Christ bore our sins in His own body on Calvary's Cross. The sacrificial offering of His life & His precious blood. God the Father accepts as full payment for the penalty of our sins. Through faith in Him, God grants the believer the forgiveness of sins & eternal life.
