Greetings to all! With such a busy schedule I have failed to post anything for Hollyford Baptist Church for quite some time. I am sad to report that with so many in our little fellowship down with illness, we at Hollyford had to camcel our mid-week service on Wednesday, January 18th. We will reunite tomorrow, Sunday, January 22nd. We will resume Sunday School at 9:45 AM, Morning Worship at 11 AM, and Evening Worship at 6:30 PM. We will hold our monthly business meeting at the conclusion of Sunday Night's Bible Study. PLEASE COME AND JOIN US! P.S. - We are still in need of a pianist.

Some new things are on the horizon at Hollyford. Will YOU come and join us to experience them?

Hello everyone! IS HOMOSEXUALITY A SIN? This will be our sermon topic this Sunday Morning, August 21st at 11 AM. Please join us unless you are involved in a Bible-believing church elsewhere.

Please come and take a look at the Bible with us at the HOUSE OF THE LORD AT HOLLYFORD! We want to see YOU there!!!

Folks, I apologize for not posting here for quite some time. We had a neighborhood picnic this evening at Hollyford this evening, and it was a success!

Please read this quote from RAVI ZACHARIAS! "On every university campus I visit, somebody stands up and says that God is an evil God to allow all this evil into our world.This person typically says,' A plane crashes: Thirty people die, and twenty people live. What kind of a God would arbitrarily choose some to live and some to die?' I continued, 'but when we play God and determine whether a child within a mother's womb should live, we argue for that as a moral right. So when human beings are given the privilege of playing God, it's called a moral right. When God plays God, we call it an immoral act. Can you justify this for me?' "

Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus of Nazareth, our Christ! Will YOU join us this morning at Hollyford Baptist Church at 150 Ford Ave. 32218? At 9:45 AM we will continue our study in The Acts of the Apostles, and at 11AM the Message will be OUR MISSION. Come and join us. WE NEED YOU!!!

Are you a MISSIONARY, or are you a WANDERING SHEEP? If you are a person looking for a place to serve the LORD in leadership in a local church, you could be a home missionary by helping us at Hollyford. Some of you have told Pastor Joe in years past that if he ever again pastors his own church, that you would join him. Some of you who told him that have wandered away from your home church. Well, Pastor Joe has now been at Hollyford for nearly two years now. If you are a HOME MISSIONARY, or a WANDERING SHEEP, you are needed at Hollyford! Hollyford is entering a revitalization phase, and YOU are needed to help it happen! Come join us tomorrow at 11 AM as we see God's Commission to us, and His Mission for us. We are at 150 Ford Ave. Jacksonville, Florida 32218.

Genesis 1:1

Psalm 14:1 and 53:1, "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God."

If you like quality auto service with Christian values, please patronize this establishment. They too are closed on Sundays.

Do the solid values of customer service, and quality products still mean anything to you? If so, we at Hollyford endorse these fine establishments. They are closed on Sundays so that their employees may worship with their families. God has blessed them for it, and they provide quality across the board!

Does your young person face learning challenges? Do they perhaps have a different learning style? Are they a mainstream student who might flourish under a favorable student/teacher ratio?Are you tired of the Common Core? Pastor Joe also works for MILLENNIAL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL where he serves as a teacher, athletic director, and chapel coordinator. Call the administrator, Mrs. Mariah McCarthy at (904)772-6400.

Is philosophy your thing? Are you a deep thinker? Do you have friends and relations who have questions about God and the Bible?Are you searching for answers yourself? This dear Brother in Christ is RAVI ZACHARIAS, and he is one of modern Christianity's greatest assettes! Find his quotes and videos on the internet, and on YouTube. We live in the Information Age. We as believers have no excuse for being ill-informed where defending our faith is concerned! We can also use solid truth to lead folks out of unbelief, and into the truth of salvation in Christ.

Pastor Joe is big on Biblical and Christian Apologetics. This view is in harmony with I Peter 3:15 where we are commanded to intellectually defend the truths of God's Word. Two very good resources for Bible believers are ICR, the Institute for Creation Research, and AIG, Answers in Genesis. Find these organizations on the internet, and watch their videos on YouTube! You will be glad that you did!

This is our beloved Baptist Hymnal. Hollyford is a tradition-rich fellowship. We LOVE the old hymns of the faith, and this book is dear to us. We do have a very real need for musicians and a Minister of Music here at Hollyford. Though we love our good old hymn book, we are open to a blended worship style at HBC. Are any of you feeling led by the Holy Spirit to help a church in need of revitalization?

This is a well-worn copy of the Bible in English. We at Hollyford love the Bible. It is God's Holy,inspired Word to man. We prefer the King James Version of the Bible, though we are not a KJV only church. We hold that any translation of God's Word MUST be in harmony with a literal view of Genesis 1-11, The Virgin Birth of our Savior, the Deity of Christ, the inerrancy of the Scriptures, the sacrificial death of Christ and its substitutionary atonement, the bodily resurrection of Jesus from the tomb, the eternal security and priesthood of the believer, and the return of Christ for His Bride, the Church. We affirm that salvation is possible only by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus our Christ.
