Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7 - Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding,  shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.; Matthew 6:5-8 - And when yin pray you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people.  Truly I tell you they have their reward.  But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret.  And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.  When you pray, don’t babble like the Gentiles, since they imagine they’ll be heard for their many words.  Don’t be like them, because your Father knows the things you need before you ask him.

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Ezekiel 18:23-30 - 

24But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

25Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

26When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and die in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.

27Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

28Because he consider, and turned away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

29Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?

30Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Matthew 14:22-27 - 

22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!l It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

Subject: Faith for times like these.

• The fourth watch of the night (between 3AM to 6AM)
• The disciples possibly thought they were hallucinating.
• A critical point: we can be in the will of God but there still can be a storm.
• We, as Christians will have trials and tribulations.
•  A trial can strengthen your faith. It is a lesson to stand firm in one's faith.
• Don't focus on the trial but on the WORD!
• Don't let anything distract 
• Isaish 41:10 - Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God.
• We must keep focused on God's Word not on this world. In other words, keep your mine stayed on Jesus.

Happy New Year!

Psalm 34 - I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall be continually in my mouth....

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: John 15:4-5 - Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.  Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

Subject: What Happens When We Leave Out of Our Lives

• How are we to survive without Jesus?!
• Jesus is the true vine.
• Jesus is our provider, our power source, our protecter. 
• Jesus is the center of our joy.
• Branches are the ones who confess that Jesus is their savior.
• Our love connection is God through Jesus Christ, His son.

• The danger of the last days - 2 Timothy 3:1-9
• Without Jesus in our lives, we have nothing of spiritual value.
• We have started to normalize evil things.
• We must stay strong in the Word, be discerning, staying on the narrow path.
• Leaving Jesus out of our lives leads to lawlessness, evildoing, spitefulness, hatefulness.
• God sent his Son to be the foundation.
• On Christ the solid rock I stand: 1 Peter 2:6; 1 Corinthians 3:11; Matthew 7:24-25 (These verses highlight the assurance and strength found in faith in Jesus as the solid rock.)

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Psalms 14:1 - The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Subject: What a Fool Believes

• The Apostles' Creed:  I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and was buried; on the third day he rose from the dead; ascended into heaven, and seated on the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the quick and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
• The fools' creed: There is no god.
• If you are foolish enough to believe that there is no god, you are truly on shaky ground.
• Roman 1:20 - For the invisible things of him form the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
• Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the Lord is start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.
• Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the Father but by me.
• Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not form yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.
• Jesus paid our sin debt.
• Three kinds of fools: a lazy person who wants everyone else to do things; a swindler who takes advantage of others by stealing & taking what is not theirs; and lastly a sociopath with no regards for anyone else. 
• Proverb 6:6-19 - Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wish:  Having no chief, overseer, or ruler, She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting. How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands, in sleep:  Then loss will come on your like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man. A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;  making sings with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers; his mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violet acts. For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him. Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:  Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;  A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;  A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.  
• Don't be a fool.

Scripture: Lamentations 3:17-26 - 17 my soul is bereft of peace;

I have forgotten what happiness is;

18 so I say, “Gone is my glory,

and all that I had hoped for from the Lord.”

19 The thought of my affliction and my homelessness

is wormwood and gall!

20 My soul continually thinks of it

and is bowed down within me.

21 But this I call to mind,

and therefore I have hope:

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,b

his mercies never come to an end;

23 they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will hope in him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,

to the soul that seeks him.

26 It is good that one should wait quietly

for the salvation of the Lord.

Subject: Are You Tired Yet?

• 2 Timothy 3:1-5 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy; Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good; Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more that lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
• Are you a clanging cymbal?  1 Corinthians 13:1 - If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
• We are not to be consumed by our trials.
• We are to have faith.
• We can express our troubles and our happiness to God because all glory goes to God.
• We have tools to minister to ourselves and to others. The Word!
• Psalms 34:18 - The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the savior of those whose spirits are crushed down.
• Be careful of your surroundings, the Internet, worldly things, etc.
• We must pray unceasingly.
• Isaiah 40:28-31 - Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? The eternal God, the Lord, the Maker of the ends of the earth, is never feeble or tired; there is no searching out of his wisdom.  He gives power to the feeble, increasing the strength of him who has no force. Even the young men will become feeble and tired, and the best of them will come to the end of his strength; But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.
• Matthew 11:28 - 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.

• James 4:14 - You do not know about tomorrow.  What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes. 
• Resolutions are always made this time of year.

• 1 Samuel 13:14 - But now, your authority will not go on: the Lord, searching for a man who is pleasing to him in every way has given him the place of ruler over his people, because you have not done what the Lord gave you orders to do.
• Three things David asked of God: (1) Search my heart of Lord. Proverb 4:23 - Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it; (2) Try me and know my thoughts my God:  1 Peter 1:7 - So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to and end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  (3) Lead me in the way everlasting of Lord. Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.  John 16:13 - However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Matthew 7:1-2 - Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Subject: Correctly Exercising Judgment

• We are not the final judge.
• We should use a spirit of discernment. We need to cultivate the gift of discernment which is knowing right from wrong; knowing truth from lies; knowing how to make wise decisions: etc.
• Jesus knows the heart of every person & he wants us to watch out for those who come with falsehoods. 
• By their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15-20
• Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Matthew 7:21-23
• Jesus says that obedience is better than sacrifice. 1 Samuel 15:22
• We need to stay away from the wrong crowd. Use discernment (use good judgment)
• Jesus was able to share his teachings even among his enemies.
• It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.  Mark 2:17 & Matthew 9:12
• Are we able to be discerning?

August 4, 2024

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: John 6:24-29 - 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

Jesus the Bread of Life

25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Subject: Where Is Our Faith

• Jesus has just fed the 5000 thousand.
• We know in Matthew 14:29 that Jesus also has walked on water.
• Do we believe in the Word of God or do we go our own way?
• We must believe in the One whom God sent.
• In John 6:35 Jesus said, "I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst.
• Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6
• Faith is the substance of things hope for, and the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
• Salvation is a free gift from God. We can do nothing to gain it but have faith.
• So what would God want us to do?  Have FAITH, BELIEVE & LOVE!!!!
