"Commitment
Isn’t Easy”
Paul realized that many persons who attended worship,
really weren’t living like redeemed persons. He believed “Holy habits”
would make a difference. He wanted to see people make “progress” by
being led by the spirit of God. Paul knew that surrender and consistency
were not easy to maintain. Sunday we will look at Paul’s call to live by
the teaching of Jesus. To not use religion to justify our selfish habits
and desires.
Come and realize what a relationship with God in Christ can do. We all
need to be transformed and changed for a purpose. Come and be led by the
grace and love of God in Christ. When Jesus calls, our lives do not
necessarily become easier. Commitment is difficult to stay the course.
However we can by being obedient to God’s grace and love.
In Christ,

Begin thinking about ways you would like to participate in Broadway’s
time during the Foothills Fall Festival, October 12-14. We will need
lots of volunteers to provide hospitality services at the church during
the festival. The parking lot will be filled with entertainment and a
display by 10,000 Villages, a cooperative effort between Broadway and
the Blount County Ecumenical Council. Plan now to volunteer for this
great weekend of fun, entertainment, and outreach.
Thank
You All Very Much
Dear Church Family,
I am writing to thank you all for your love and support over the past
several years. It has been such a comfort for met to know that no matter
what I have going on, I can always rely on your prayers. I know that I
can always come home to Broadway.
The goodie boxes I received monthly served as an even stronger reminder
of my Broadway family. Every time I received one in the mail, it made my
day and week so much brighter! I could tell that a lot of love and
thought went into each one. Plus, its always fun to get mail in college!
I can’t thank you enough for everything! I love you all!
Amanda Heinrich
Hello
Broadway!
I thought I’d stop by (electronically), say hello, and express how much
I appreciate getting the college ministry packages! First of all, it’s
not like we get much in the way of mail, anyway. And it’s always
comforting to receive a gift from people you love. It reminds you that
they’re thinking and caring about you even if you don’t get to talk to
them regularly. It’s a huge blessing to have that comfort. God has a way
of giving you what you need exactly when you need it, and I thank you
guys for letting him do that for the college folk.
I love you all,
Rose Spurrier
Dear

Sermon
“Commitment Isn’t Easy”
“Invitation To Genesis” Begins Sunday
In the beginning . . .” These first words in
Genesis may be among the most familiar words in the entire Bible. Many
readers of the Bible recognize Genesis as a book that describes the
beginning of all things: the Creation. This is certainly true but is
only part of the story—the creation of the world only takes up the first
two chapters of a fifty-chapter book. What are the other chapters about?
This study approaches the Book of Genesis not simply as a story of the
beginning but as a story of beginnings from start to finish. Through the
study, participants will be invited to listen afresh to the witness of
this opening book of the Hebrew Bible and to understand more clearly
God’s purpose in beginning to form a people with the likes of Adam and
Eve, Abraham and Sarah, and Jacob and Esau.
Beginning on Sunday, September 9, at 6:00pm in the Wesley Fellowship
Classroom on the 4th level, the class will continue for 10 weeks ending
on November 18. Bob Ergenbright, class facilitator, will have study
books available at the first class. The cost of the course is $15.
“Invitation to Genesis” is a part in the short term Disciple Bible Study
series.
