Understanding Baptism by Mark Ballard (PDF)

Understanding Fasting by Mark Ballard (PDF)
In the Fall of 2002 Pastor Ballard sensed the Lord leading him to call Christian Fellowship Baptist Church to 40 days of intense focus on the Lord. As he continued to seek the Lord as to the nature of the 40 Days several elements developed into a cohesive unit which he called "40 Days of Focus." Early in the development process Pastor Ballard sensed that the spiritual exercise of fasting needed to play a major role in the time of focus. Realizing that fasting is a little practiced and much misunderstood spiritual exercise; it was decided to turn the material into a booklet form that could be distributed.
Understanding Grace Giving by Mark Ballard (PDF)
Over a two-year period of time Pastor Mark Ballard led Christian Fellowship Baptist Church on a Journey Through the Bible. Each week the Sunday Morning, Sunday Night and Wednesday Night services were dedicated to a single book of Scripture. As the Church came to 2 Corinthians Pastor Mark sensed the Lord leading him to spend three weeks on this book. During that three-week period of time he preached 3 sermons on the subject of Grace Giving. These three sermons served as background preparation for the development of this booklet.
In this short booklet Pastor Mark explains his own journey in dealing with the subject of giving. He describes his own struggle with knowing how to deal with the Biblical concepts in a time when many television preachers were abusing the subject. He then shares how the Lord moved in his heart to settle the issue once and for all. Pastor Mark then leads the reader through an examination of three critical texts of Scripture that teach the meaning of "Grace Giving."
Understanding Temptation by Mark Ballard (PDF)
During the month of July 2006 Pastor Mark Ballard led the congregation of Christian Fellowship Baptist Church through a four-week study on temptation. The contents of this booklet are based upon the material presented during that study. Our prayer is that the Lord will use this material in your life to enable you to better deal with temptation.
