Center Update
We have several new Bible Studies that you will want to explore in the KBA Library. Most come with video access to help with your preparation and presentation. Take a look at our new listings, then stop by to check out the Study Guide.
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. 27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:26-27
Just how much do you love Jesus? That is the question that Jesus is forcing us to ask ourselves in this statement that He made to His disciples about what it takes for anyone to be one of His disciples. Is Jesus saying here that we should hate our parents and siblings and children? Is He saying that we should hate ourselves? No, indeed! Instead, Jesus is using a hyperbole in this statement. A hyperbole is an exaggeration that is used to make a point. He is saying that our love for those other people in our lives should seem like hate compared to the depth and the richness of our love for Him. After all, He gave His life so that we might have eternal life. He has given us love like no other has ever given us love…and “He demonstrated it in that while we were still sinners, He died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

Missionary Moment
Tim Batchelor
I want to thank our Association VBS Team for a great job at the VBS clinic. It encourages me to see so many willing to take time to come for training and preparation for VBS this summer. Thank you to Wrens Baptist, for hosting this clinic.
I look forward to great reports from you guys as you have VBS in June and July.
I also want to thank our mission team led by David Harbeson, FBC Thomson, pastor David Lambert and the staff there along with Chanda Harbeson for planning and hosting our Great Commission Rally. We had 24 or so ministries represented in our mission fair, and Buck Burch of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board did a great job as our preacher with more than 165 in attendance.
