"Bro.
John Hobbs begins tenure with 9th and Main"
|
This Sunday begins a new era
with the 9th & Main congregation. The elders have
announced that John & Mary Etta Hobbs will begin
their work here on June 9th. The Hobbs' have raised four
boys and come from a long history of Christian heritage,
with Bro. Hobbs' father serving a elder in the Lord's
church of Fort Worth, and Mary Etta's parents serving as
missionaries in Europe and Africa.
Bro.
Hobbs is a talented speaker and writer, having authored
six books, and has written Bible and Greek courses for
Sunset School of Preaching. He has had articles published
in various Christian periodicals.
Bro.
Hobbs was reared in Ft. Worth, Tx. He preached his first
gospel sermon at age fourteen. He has preached for
churches in Hamby, Tx., Loving, Tx., Grand Prarie, Tx.,
Lawn, Tx., and Coleman, Tx. The majority of those
congregations experienced dramatic growth during John's
tenure. During most, if not all of his time he also
served as public school teacher teaching for the better
part of the past thirty years.
As
qualified and talented as John might be, he can not
alone, do the work that must be done. It will take every
member doing their part. There is a new opportunity. Will
you take advantage of it? Was Ninth & Main a warm,
friendly, solid congregation or will it be that and more?
That
is your decision. God bless John and Mary Etta in their
work, and God bless the wonderful, faithful Christian
brothers and sisters of Ninth & Main.
