May 14, 2023 - Happy Mother's Day

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28 -   21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Subject: A Faith Filled Mother

• Mothers are very often wise and shared their wisdom with their children.
• Mothers are the foundation of the home when raising the children.
• Mary, Sarah, Hanna, Rachael, etc. all, powerful mothers.
• Lessons from Matthew 15: (1) We see a mother's love for her child. The bible says we should seek Jesus while He may be found.  Isaiah 55:6
• This mother asked for mercy from Jesus. She saw that Jesus was the Messiah. 
• We see that love that is a very powerful weapon.
• Love is at the center of our new life in Jesus Christ. The love of Christ paved the way for our salvation.
• For God so loved the world that He gave is only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.   John 3:16
• (2) This mother was persistent.
• We must be persistent in having an intimate relationship with God through Jesus.
•  (3) This mother had humility. She falls in the face of Jesus.
• This mother saw that even the crumbs from Jesus can do what no other power can do.
• We must humble ourselves; surrender our pride.
• All to Jesus we surrender.
• (4) This mother had faith that Jesus could save her child. Jesus answered her request to save the child. Her faith in Jesus caused His compassion to her.
• Hebrews 4:16 - Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help.

May 8, 2022 - Happy Mother's Day

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28 - 21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Subject: It's A Real Mother For You

• There are loads of ministries in many churches.
• Motherhood is certainly a ministry.
• Jesus entered Gentile territory and encountered a woman.
• He seemed to take a rough tone with her but we must remember, he knew what was in her heart.
• The woman saw Jesus as only human but with miracle powers.
• The woman was desperate for help for your daughter who was possessed by a demon.
• Question for all of us.... What do you do when you don't know what to do?
• She went on a search for help. This miracle was not of the same faith or beliefs as her but an outsider.
• Question for all of us......  Is Jesus a stranger to you or me?
• How many times have we failed to recognize Jesus?
• Three cries of the woman.....She cried out for mercy.....She cried out for the son of David.....She cried out for her daughter.
• She never gave up her plea to Jesus.
• With all the objections from the disciples and the silence from Jesus, she still did not give up.
• In this exchange Jesus is teaching the woman to move her faith to a stronger position.
• It's important for us to realize who Jesus is and was. Jesus was the son of Mary and is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
• The woman first thought of Jesus as just a man but in the end worshipped him as Lord.
• She humbled herself to Jesus and Jesus said, "Woman, your faith is great!"
• Once you have an encounter with Jesus, your life will never be the same.

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

• Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.
• We as Christians are in a marathon race which requires endurance and patience.
• Lots of things can get in the way of serving God such as family, job, etc.
• Do we only look to Jesus when trouble comes? Or do we look to him in all things?
• Whatsoever we ask in my name, that will I do.  John 14:13
• Always go to God through Jesus for all things that we need.
• Our God will supply all of our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
• Romans 12:1 - Present ourselves as living sacrifices.
