Last Sunday Wayne Jenkins, the associational missionary of the Western Baptist Association in Newnan, preached First Baptist Church of Moreland's Homecoming. Wayne talked about the people we minister to today. In 2008, our country experienced a recession - income, jobs and real estate vanished. Wayne talked about how the recession changed everyone. Job security, stocks, and hope for a bright financial future dried up. All of a sudden there's a pessimistic attitude about future success. Teenagers and college students don't plan to become millionaires.
How do Christians minister to an afraid, fearful, scared and worried generation? Believers are able to distinguish themselves during fearful times. Our strength and hope in the Lord sets us apart. Praying with and for people whom are struggling - helping the man who received a pink slip last week, he now needs a reference this week - and encouraging the college grad with a mountain of debt and no job prospects. We offer Christ to everyone down and out from the recession.

- The afraid wife for her husband's job - Christ gives peace.
- The fearful teen with crushed dreams - Christ restores hope.
- The scared banker who studies interest rates - Christ provides a future.
- The worried worker who watching the company cut back - Christ is victorious.
