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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Habakkuk 2:1-4 - I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.  And the Lord answered me, and said, 'Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.  For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.  Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Subject: When God Seem Silent

  • Why is God not listening or answering?

  • The just shall live by faith

  • We can believe but not see what God is doing.

  • The seems to be a ball of confusion but God is still there.

  • How long will things continue this way?

  • We are faithful but still have questions.

  • But God has a plan. He uses our enemies.

  • We must wait and see what God does.

  • They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. Isaiah 40:31

  • We must hold our position.

  • We must keep the faith and that faith is sometimes used to wait and see what God does.

  • God can gives us the promise before the fulfilment. So there may be a gap between promise and fulfilment. Sometimes this tests our faith but we need to learn to wait on God.

  • Don't let the delay doubt the promise.

  • The just shall live by his faith. Faith is trusting God who has all of the answers.

  • Don't let what you see make you forget about what you know, that God is always in control.

May 10, 2026 - Happy Mother's Day!

 Welcome to Brown Chaple/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh

                                                         Happy Mother's Day Everyone!

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Exodus 2:1-10 - 1 Now a man of the tribe of Levic married a Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him.

5 Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.”

Subject: A Praying Mother. One Who Let Go and Let God

  • A real mother will carry burdens that no one else sees.
  • A real mother will pray when nobody else seems to want to.
  • A real mother will sacrifice her all to protect her child or children.
  • Just like Moses' mother place him in a basket and put him in the river on FAITH.
  • What a mother places in God's hand, is never beyond God's reach.
  • Even as baby Moses floats down river, God already has a plan.
  • God will make your enemy, your food stool.
  • God said that He would never leave us or forsake us. Hebrews 13:5
  • God arranged for Moses' own mother to take care of him.
  • The same God that watched over Moses & his mother, is the same God that's watching over us today.

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:7 - And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man.

Subject: When Prophets Are Silent

  • No man can or should be compared to Jesus the Christ, who is without sin.
  • We must rebuke anyone who proclaims to be just like Christ. 
  • When prophets remain silent then sin runs rampant.
  • We can't cover up our sin by manipulating situations.
  • Nathan came to deliver a word from God to David.
  • We should choose godly council.
  • Psalm 1:1-61Blessed is the man
  • who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

  • or set foot on the path of sinners,

    or sit in the seat of mockers.

    2But his delight is in the Law of the LORD,

    and on His law he meditates day and night.

    3He is like a tree planted by streams of water,

    yielding its fruit in season,

    whose leaf does not wither,

    and who prospers in all he does.

    4Not so the wicked!

    For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

    5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

    6For the LORD guards the path of the righteous,

    but the way of the wicked will perish.

  • You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
  • We must remain on the right path and pray.
  • If we are not compassionate towards others, we are lost.
  • James 2:15-17 - If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, 'Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit?' Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
  • Don't be a Christian is name only!
  • Faith without good deeds is dead! James2:14-26
  • AMEN!

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Matthew 14:12-21 - John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Subject: A God of More Than Enough

  • When troubles comes around, who can help us?
  • Some people are called to help even in this world of today.
  • Some people are compassionate & loving towards others.
  • And the Word became flesh and walked among us - that's Jesus
  • Jesus' cousin was John the Baptizer. 
  • After John was beheaded, Jesus went away to grieve but found that He had compassion on the hungry.
  • 1 Thessalonian 4:13 - Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
  • We must be moved with compassion.
  • We must continually pray.
  • Our pain does not cancel your purpose.
  • We serve a God who has more than enough for all of us!

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

Prayer: Minister Dorothy M.

Scripture: Proverbs 29:16 - When wicked are multiplied, transgression increases: but the righteous shall see their fall.

Subject: Hold On, I'm Coming

  • We sure could use a little good news today.
  • It seems that we are in an alternative world.
  • We need to hang on to the Word which is Jesus.
  • We need a Damascus situation in this time in our lives. Acts 9:3-9
  • We are living in wicked times but we Christians can rejoice in the Lord.
  • Is there a difference between evil and wickedness?
  • Evil is the opposite of good.  Wickedness is the opposite of righteousness.
  • Evil was in the Garden of Eden tempting Eve.
  • When Herod ordered his soldiers to kill every male child, this was wickedness, maliciousness. 
  • We can recognize wickedness by those who mislead, rush to judgment, put out alternative facts, they will tell you that you didn't see what you saw, will not take responsibility for anything, withhold information at all costs, etc.
  • Fret not for evil doers for they will be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.  Psalm 37:9
  • Ecclesiastes 3 (Read entire chapter)
  • Be ye steadfast Unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58
  • So let us not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.  Galatians 6:9
  • We must hold on because Jesus is coming back.

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


                                                          Merry Christmas

Tis the Season of the Birth of Jesus the Christ

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Psalm 37:4 - Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

Scripture: Delight Yourself in the Lord.

  • Don't get caught up in the world's problems. Stay focused on the Word.
  • Obey God in all things.
  • How do the wicked seem to prosper when the righteous seem to suffer?
  • We must trust in God and do good. Psalm 37:3
  • We must focus on God.

Psalm 37

  • 1 Do not fret over those who do evil;

    do not envy those who do wrong.

    2For they wither quickly like grass

    and wilt like tender plants.

    3Trust in the LORD and do good;

    dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

    4Delight yourself in the LORD,

    and He will give you the desires of your heart.

    5Commit your way to the LORD;

    trust in Him, and He will do it.

    6He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn,

    your justice like the noonday sun.

    7Be still before the LORD

    and wait patiently for Him;

    do not fret when men prosper in their ways,

    when they carry out wicked schemes.

    8Refrain from anger and abandon wrath;

    do not fret—it can only bring harm.

    9For the evildoers will be cut off,

    but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

    10Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;

    though you look for them, they will not be found.

    11But the meek will inherit the land

    and delight in abundant prosperity.

    12The wicked scheme against the righteous

    and gnash their teeth at them,

    13but the Lord laughs,

    seeing that their day is coming.

    14The wicked have drawn the sword

    and bent the bow

    to bring down the poor and needy,

    to slay those whose ways are upright.

    15But their swords will pierce their own hearts,

    and their bows will be broken.

    16Better is the little of the righteous

    than the abundance of many who are wicked.

    17For the arms of the wicked will be broken,

    but the LORD upholds the righteous.

    18The LORD knows the days of the blameless,

    and their inheritance will last forever.

    19In the time of evil they will not be ashamed,

    and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.

    20But the wicked and enemies of the LORD

    will perish like the glory of the fields.

    They will vanish;

    like smoke they will fade away.

    21The wicked borrow and do not repay,

    but the righteous are gracious and giving.

    22Surely those He blesses will inherit the land,

    but the cursed will be destroyed.

    23The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD

    who takes delight in his journey.

    24Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,

    for the LORD is holding his hand.

  • Ephesians 1:3 - All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united to Christ.

  • Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

  • John 14:14 - Yes, ask me for anything in my name and I will do it!

  • Be steadfast, unmovable, always, abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

  • Delight in the Lord!

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7 - Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests by made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Subject: How to End the Shutdown

  • We must rejoice in the Lord always. Philippians 4:4
  • We, as Christians, have many things coming at us in all types of forms; the shutdown, wages, cost of living, food insecurity, national problems, etc.
  • The Church must address these issues.
  • As a body of true believers, we must believe that our God is the only one with absolute power. Nothing happens by chance. So there is nothing too hard for our God.
  • Practical steps to overcome: Obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22): Be anxious for nothing (Philippians 4:6-7): We must pray always in every situation (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
  • Be grateful even in trials and tribulations.
  • Pray doesn't immediately remove our problems but pray releases our anxieties and lightens the heart. 
  • Cast all of our burdens on Lord, and he shall sustain your Psalm 55:22
  • Ephesians 3:20 - God can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that words in us.

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Matthew 22:18-2218 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?

19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius,

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:1-5When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders. The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba. But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.

So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.”

Subject: Be Careful What You Ask For

  • Our government has checks and balances brought about by the American Revolution.
  •  However, a government can develop problems if not reined in.
  • We must stand firm in our Christian beliefs.
  • These are not ordinary times.
  • We must remember to put and keep on the Whole Armor of God. Ephesians 6:10-18
  • Watch out for dishonesty, confusion, evil speaking.
  • Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may experience what is the good and acceptable and perfect will.
  • Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
  • For you must not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14
  • To live by the sword is to die by the sword. Matthew 26:52
  • Psalm 24 - The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-9 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour; Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.   Philippians 2:6-11 - Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;  Doing nothing through envy of through pride, but with low thoughts of self, let everyone take others to be better than himself;  Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.  Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,  To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;  But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;  And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross. For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;  So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,  And that very tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Subject: Searching for Humility

  • We are not just me, myself and I.
  • We must have humility in ourselves and have a loving spirit towards others.
  • Jesus's life was humility. He was a living example for all of us.
  • His humility was the way to our salvation.
  • Humility is not a weakness.
  • God gives grace to the humble.
  • Humility is the soil of which the fruit of the spirit grows.  Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
  • Don't become prideful. 
  • Pride showed up in the Garden of Eden & has been around for a very long time.
  • Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
  • Satan was so prideful that he thought to be more than God.
  • In search of humility: humble & submit ourselves before God.
  • Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.
  • We must stand firm on your faith and be in the will of God.
  • Resist the devil.
  • Study to show thyself approved unto God. 2 Timothy 2:15
  • Be ready at all times.

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

Prayer: Minister Malone

Scripture: John 6:1-11Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

1Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. 3Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. 4The Jewish Passover Festival was near.
5When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”6He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
8Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, 9“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”
10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

Subject: In The Hands of God

  • God's hands are not our hands.
  • There are many miracles performed by Jesus. 
  • When we place our lives in the hands of the Lord we become servants of the Lord.
  • Two fish & 5 loaves of bread and above all, Jesus!
  • All to Jesus, I surrender. All to Him I freely give. In other words, turn it over to Jesus.
  • Jesus wants to take away whatever is eating away at our souls.
  • Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
  • God's got the whole world in His hands.

S-ane in its appeal.
