Conference Call!

Brown Chapel & Avant Church Families and our neighboring church family, Shiloh Baptist, held our first community-wide conference call.

Psalms 42:5 - Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait of God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.
Subject: How Do We Beat The Blues?

 We are dealing with the Covid-19 virus, unemployment, life's uncertainties but we, as Christians, have hope.

Five Points

1. We should be focused on things that are positive. From Philippians 4:8 - Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, it something is excellent or praiseworthy, think on those things.
2. Look for the purpose of what God wants from us. In other words, His will be done. (a) Our trials and tribulations are going to happen throughout our lives. They should strengthen us.
3. Utilize God's promises for us.  Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding.  Acknowledge Him all your ways, and He will direct your paths.
4. Take time to encourage others.
5. Sing praises to our God! Give God the praise. Psalms 150:1 Praise ye the Lord, Praise God in His sanctuary: praise Him in the firmament of His power.  Romans 15:11 - And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud Him, all ye people. (a) Obedience is better than sacrifice.
