    Dr.

    Hayes Wicker, Senior Pastor


    Back in the Saddle Again
    As you know, I grew up in and love the west. Janet and
    I returned this week from a relaxing vacation in Colorado
    Springs and Beaver Creek. We enjoyed the cool air and
    the warm fellowship with FBCN seasonal friends who live in
    Rocky Mountain country. We were also blessed to be with
    Allyson and Scott. Thank you, church family, for allowing
    your pastors and staff to get away. Its good to be back in
    the saddle again, as the cowboy sang. I am grateful for the
    men who supplied the pulpit, each different yet significant
    in the Body.
    I am beginning my new sermon series, Understanding and Overcoming
    Temptation. While driving down the steep grade into Denver, I saw a warning
    sign that read something like this: Truckers, you are not at the bottom yet. You
    still have a steep grade. We believers are not in Heaven yet or immune from
    stumbling and crashing.
    A do-it-yourself approach toward warfare is doomed; its not a fifty-fifty
    proposition with God. This is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith
    (1 John 5:4). We resist the devil, obey the Word, but we depend on the Lord.
    The ultimate hostile, Satan, is on the warpath.
    We welcome Mark Bates this weekend, who is in view of a call as Pastor of
    Sports Outreach. The staff, personnel committee, FBA head coaches, and other
    leaders recommend him. He has served in churches, Christian schools, and as
    Athletic Director and Soccer Coach at Clearwater Christian College. Hes not
    all hat and no cattle, as the old western saying describes a city dude. He has
    spiritual and experiential depth.
    It is truly a God thing that we learned of Mark the week that the school announced
    closing and when Kevin Van Duser resigned. Steven Curtis Chapman sang,
    Saddle up your horses, weve got a trail to blazewith Gods amazing grace.
    *There is a guest reception in the Commons following the Saturday night and
    Sunday morning worship services. Pastor would love to meet you!

    Welcome to First Baptist Church Naples

    We are so glad you joined us for worship! Greeters at the doors can help with
    any immediate needs you may have. Volunteers at the Information Desk in the
    Commons can assist you in finding the perfect Bible & Life Group. For more
    information about our church and ministries, please call Linda at 596-8600 x280.

    In View of a Call This Weekend


    Mark Bates

    Pastor of Sports Outreach

    Mark Bates comes to First Baptist in view of a


    call with a vast array of sports knowledge as
    well as administrative ability. Most recently, he
    was the womens soccer coach at Clearwater
    Christian College where he also served as
    Director of Recruitment. At Clearwater, Mark
    coached the womens soccer team to two
    separate national championships. While he
    obviously has a love for coaching, his main
    passion is training and discipleship of young
    men and women into Christ-likeness. Prior to
    that, he served in various church staff positions, two separate Christian schools,
    and a Christian camp in Arizona. Mark and his wife Donna have three grown
    sons. Please join us in discerning a call to serve with FBCN and praying for
    Gods will to be done.

    happens and people truly become part of the family. In the
    fall, we will once again launch our Home Bible & Life Groups.
    Groups will meet in homes around the Naples community,
    and are typically held in the evenings. If you are interested in
    leading or hosting a home BLG this fall, please contact John
