 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Opening Song (Emmanuel)

"We can go 40 days without food; 3 days without water; 8 minutes without air.

But we can't go single second without God.

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Mark 13:32-37 - But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.  Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.  It is as when a man who is in another country for a time, having gone away from his house, and given authority to his servants and to everyone his work, gives the porter an order to keep watch.  So you are to keep watch: because you are not certain when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or in the middle of the night or at the cock's cry, or in the morning; For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.  And what I say to you, I say to all, Keep watch.

Subject: Waiting on the Lord

• When will everything be alright?
• When will there finally be peace on earth?
• Keep watch because that day is coming.
• Why can't we all just get along.
• Jesus said, a day is coming that our lives will be perfect.
• We must be on guard. But what does that mean?
• Are we ready at this moment?
• We need to be filled with hope of what Jesus has said.
• We know that the King of kings is coming. 
• His first coming, to be born as human & his second coming as Revelation states.
• We do not need to be found asleep. Our faith needs to always be awake.
• Are we reading the Word of Lord regularly; are in prayer often; are we striving to glorify God with our word, and deeds?
• The Word became flesh and walks among us.
• What a mighty God we serve.
• The key to stay spiritually alert is the Word of God. His Word is caffeine for the soul.
• All to Jesus, I surrender. All to Him, I freely give.
• But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.  Isaiah 40:31
