 Greetings from Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh 

and Mt. Pleasant Baptist

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Philippians 4:6-9 - Rejoice in the Lord always.Again I say rejoice! Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near!  Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.  And the peace of God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. 

Text: Encouragement for the Pandemic of our lives

• Disappointment in life is inevitable. 
• Discouragement is different. It is manageable.
• Be encouraged by looking to God.
• Don't allow your circumstance to overwhelm you.
• Be discouraged causes confusion.  But remember God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33
• A double minded man is unstable......
• Even Jesus was discouraged - Matt 26:38 - Then he said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death......."
• But Jesus did not allow hopelessness to turn away from God.
• Dealing with discouragement: admit that we are discouraged - Confess our sins to God and he will be faith......  recognize that we are dealing with spiritual wickedness ....
• Stay hungry and not greedy.
