Greetings from Brown Chapel/Avant; Shiloh Baptist 

and Mt. Pleasant Baptist

Prayer by Pastor Baggett
Sermon John 10:10-13 - The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have like, and that they might have it more abundantly.  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd give his life for the sheep.  But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, see the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.  The hireling flees, becausee he is an hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
Subject:  Having Jesus Christ In Our Homes

1. We are home bound because of Covid-19 at this time but we have an advocate.
2. If Christ is in our homes, we are not misguided, bored or left with nothing to do.
3. Jesus came so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. John 10:10
4. With God's presence through Jesus Christ in our homes, allows us to have pray time and a closeness with Him and with our families.

The Home

• Home is a place that should allow us to communicate in private with God and build our relationships with family and others. Home is where the "heart" is and "love" is.
• Home is a place of liberation if we allow Jesus in.  Jesus said in Revelation 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 

Jesus brings that peace of God that surpasses all understanding and will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

• Home is a place where we are lifted up, not by our own words or actions but by others. We are to lift one another up. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 - Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.  Hebrews 10:24-25 - And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good words, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.  Romans 14-19 - So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual up-building.  Proverbs 27-17 - Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
• Home is a place of love. God is love from 1 John 4:7. From John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Sacrament was given via phone to each household.
