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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Philippians 3:12-14 - I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.  No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. 

Subject: Higher Ground

• And the band played on is a way of saying that sometimes we don't see what's really going on or refuse to see it and yet things keep right on going.
• We must not worry about what has already happened to us. Don't dwell on the past. We must press towards God's high calling.
• We must be patient, with a steady march, always keeping our eyes on God.
• Don't get caught up in unforgiveness, hatred, etc.
• We must move towards a goal with a single-minded focus.
• We are working towards a spiritual maturity.
• Jesus reaches us at our level and lifts us up, if we let him.
• We must open our hearts to him.
• The world's confusion should not stop our pursuit of our Christian life. We are on a journey.
•  We should aways be in a position of humbleness. 
• God's amazing grace is sufficient.

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Matthew 5:38-41 -You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:  But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.  And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe for him.  And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.

Subject: Going the Extra Mile

• We need to have peace in the valley and all over in this season of division.
• Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  Romans 12:2
• We must reflect the love of God.
• We must go the extra mile. This notation comes from the Jews living under the Roman regime time.
• We must live with the mind of Christ and the love of God.
• Acts of kindness are essential to live by to show others God's grace through us.
• We must hold up the blood stain banner for Christ.
