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

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.
• What happens when we leave Jesus out of our lives?
• We are excluding prayer from our lives, loving others, etc. 
• This never ends well.
• Self-reliance is not good. It leads to more stress, exhaustion, wrong directions in life.
• Leaving Jesus out of our decisions, lives, etc. We start to compromise, our pride starts to take over.
• We must lead not on our own understanding.  Proverbs 3:5-6   
• We think that we are in control of our lives but this is totally wrong.
• 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.)

January 2, 2022 Happy New Year

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Psalm 1:1-3 - Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, not stands in the way of sinners, not sits in the seat of the scornful.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law does he meditate day and night.  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rives of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.

Subject: A New Year's Resolution or Revelation

•  Many folks make a new year's resolutions.
• Are we God centered or self centered?
• We should as God for a revelation because it's not our will but God's will.
• God's plan and purpose for our lives = revelation
• His plan will guide up in all things throughout our lives.
• We are bless with certain conditions.
• We have to be careful about the company that we keep.
• Three types of people = the ungodly ( those who knowingly sin); the sinners ( those who are sinning with little hope) ; the scornful ( those who sin & encourage others to join in with then).
• We should saturate ourselves in the Word. Pray, meditate & study the Word.
• The Word of God is our spiritual life support.
• God's divine supply is like a tree planted by rivers of water, so that we, Christians will be rooted deeply in the Word.
