First Baptist Church (FBC) in Harrison will host internationally renowned author and speaker, Richard Blackaby, this weekend. Blackaby will give a program on March 8, 6:30 — 9 p.m. and March 9, 8:30 a.m. — Noon. Through this free program, informed by the popular book co-authored by Blackaby with his father — “Experiencing God,” he will explore how to “unpack the principles and realities of ‘experiencing God.’”
FBC promises an exciting experience, “The truths from the word of God in this course ensure that you are never the same again, because we won't just fill our heads with information, we will seek to actually experience the Living God together.”
Senior Pastor Rob Davis looks forward to seeing the community attend this event, one that has been many months in planning for the church. “We are really pleased that he is coming. They usually don’t do it in a small venue like this, so this is really something special,” Davis shared.
Richard Blackaby has authored and co-authored numerous books, with sales exceeding eight million copies. His titles include: “Experiencing God,” “The Experiencing God Study Bible,” “The Ways of God,” “The Seasons of God,” “Spiritual Leadership,” “God in the Marketplace,” “The Inspired Leader,” “Spiritual Leadership Coaching,” “Living Out of the Overflow” and “Flickering Lamps: Christ and His Church.”
He is the president of Blackaby Ministries International. He has a Ph.D. in church history from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has served as a senior pastor and as a seminary president.
