 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Psalm 27:1-4 - The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?  When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame. Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.  One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple. 

Subject: Winning At War-ware Using the Advice of a Veteran of War (King David)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.  Ephesians 6:12-13

• The Lord is our light. In other words, we should focus on God.

• We must focus on who God is and how great He is.
• We must keep fellowship with God.
• We have a blessed assurance of Jesus.
• We must always pray and not faint. Luke 18:1
• We must spend in pray; the study of God's word; exercise our faith.
• We must always cry out to God. He will answer us in His own time.
• We must seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
• Nearer my God to thee.
• We must live a upright life.
• 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
• Psalms 27 

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

• Whom shall I fear?
• The Lord is the strength of my life;
• Of whom shall I be afraid?
• 2 When the wicked came against me
• To eat[a] up my flesh,
• My enemies and foes,
• They stumbled and fell.
• 3 Though an army may encamp against me,
• My heart shall not fear;
• Though war may rise against me,
• In this I will be confident.
• 
  
• 4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,
• That will I seek:
• That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
• All the days of my life,
• To behold the [b]beauty of the Lord,
• And to inquire in His temple.
• 5 For in the time of trouble
• He shall hide me in His pavilion;
• In the secret place of His tabernacle
• He shall hide me;
• He shall set me high upon a rock.
• 
  
• 6 And now my head shall be [c]lifted up above my enemies all around me;
• Therefore I will offer sacrifices of [d]joy in His tabernacle;
• I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
• 
  
• 7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
• Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
• 8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
• My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
• 9 Do not hide Your face from me;
• Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
• You have been my help;
• Do not leave me nor forsake me,
• O God of my salvation.
• 10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
• Then the Lord will take care of me.
• 
  
• 11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
• And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
• 12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
• For false witnesses have risen against me,
• And such as breathe out violence.
• 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
• That I would see the goodness of the Lord
• In the land of the living.
• 
  
• 14 Wait[e] on the Lord;
• Be of good courage,
• And He shall strengthen your heart;
• Wait, I say, on the Lord!

October 13, 2024 - Homecoming 2024

 Welcome from Brown Chapel

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Luke 15:11-16 - A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that fall to me.  And he divided unto them his living.  And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.  And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him not his fields to feed swine.  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 

Subject: There's No Place Like Home

• Where is home for us?
• We know the story of the son who left home with his inheritance, because he wanted to get away from home.
• Are we sometimes fed up with our old lives; curious about the outside world; just wanting to get away from our parents; etc.
• What we may not understand is that the world is or can be a wicked place while also being an exciting and enticing place.
• The longer one is out in the world, you tend to get caught up in all the excitement.
• Sin is like quicksand. The more you struggle against it the more you sink into it.
• Home is where our memories are, our foundation, our hope of a better life.
• Revelation 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 
• Jesus is the only one who can forgive your sins.
• Jesus is the way, the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. John 14:6
• In my father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  John 14:2
• There is our earthly home but more importantly, there is our heavenly home.

  4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

  5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoints my head with oil; my cup runs over.

  6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: John 11:38-45 - 38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Subject: The Lazarus Experience

What instruction would Jesus have for us?

• Take away the stone. Some things need to be moved out of our lives so that we may have a closer relationship with God.
• We should respond to the Lord's call.  We need to be obedience.  
• Obedience is better than sacrifice. 1 Samuel 15:22
• Lead not on our own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
• Put our faith in God.
• We should be living sacrifices of God.
