April 20, 2025 - Happy Easter

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

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Matthew 28:1-8 - Jesus Has Risen

28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

Subject: Resurrection Faith

• Act 26:8 - Why would any of you consider it incredible that God raised the dead?
• Mary Magdalene was a woman of many problems, but Jesus delivered her of her sins. 
• Luke 8 We see that Mary Magdalene traveled around with Jesus & his disciples.
• John 19:25 Near the cross stood Mary, the mother of Jesus, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
• Why was the stone rolled away? Perhaps it was so that Mary Magdalene could get in and witness that Jesus had arose.
• The stone was rolled away to give us hope.
• John 11:25 - Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
• The Romans tried very hard to stamp out Christianity. But He, who was once dead but is now alive. The Word cannot be stamped out nor forgotten.
• Jesus was raised from the dead to save a wretch like me.
• The Book of Acts tells the story of Jesus' death, resurrection, and the ascension.
• We know that Christ Jesus lives today!
• Resurrection propels Christianity forward.
• This joy that I have, the world didn't give it and it sure can't take it away.

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.

• In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:1-4
• Genesis 1:14 - And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.

• Change is going to happen whether we like it or not.

• Psalm 24:7-10 - Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Scripture: Matthew 22:34-40 - But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.  Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith!

Scripture: Matthew 21:6-11 - And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28 - 21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Subject: It's A Real Mother For You

• There are loads of ministries in many churches.
• Motherhood is certainly a ministry.
• Jesus entered Gentile territory and encountered a woman.
• He seemed to take a rough tone with her but we must remember, he knew what was in her heart.
• The woman saw Jesus as only human but with miracle powers.
• The woman was desperate for help for your daughter who was possessed by a demon.
• Question for all of us.... What do you do when you don't know what to do?
• She went on a search for help. This miracle was not of the same faith or beliefs as her but an outsider.
• Question for all of us......  Is Jesus a stranger to you or me?
• How many times have we failed to recognize Jesus?
• Three cries of the woman.....She cried out for mercy.....She cried out for the son of David.....She cried out for her daughter.
• She never gave up her plea to Jesus.
• With all the objections from the disciples and the silence from Jesus, she still did not give up.
• In this exchange Jesus is teaching the woman to move her faith to a stronger position.
• It's important for us to realize who Jesus is and was. Jesus was the son of Mary and is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
• The woman first thought of Jesus as just a man but in the end worshipped him as Lord.
• She humbled herself to Jesus and Jesus said, "Woman, your faith is great!"
• Once you have an encounter with Jesus, your life will never be the same.

Prayer: Rev. I Pelton

Scripture: Matthew 26:38-44 Then he said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me."  Going a little father, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, is possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will."  Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "So, couldn't you stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."  He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done."  He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open.  So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.

Subject: What Is In The Cup?!

• Three times Jesus asked for the cup to pass him and three times heaven was silent.
• Jesus concludes that God's will would be done.
• What is in the cup that caused Jesus to sweat drops of blood?
• First, the cup had the sin of the entire world.
• Everything that God created was good until Satan and sin came in. So, Jesus saw past, present and future sin in that cup. 
• Second, the cup had suffering. Jesus saw that his hour was upon him. And he knew that he would face false charges, be spat on, beaten, etc.
• Third, the cup showed that Jesus was the living sacrifice. 
• In the book of Leviticus, was the time of  offering and sacrifice and atonement: these were times of animal sacrifices but in the case of Jesus in Matthew/Mark/Luke.....Jesus was the sacrifice, a living man.
• Jesus would be separated from his father.  Matthew27:46 - At about the ninth hour Jesus cried with loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
• And Fourth, in that cup Jesus sees our salvation which is himself.

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

Prayer: Chester N.

Scripture: Matthew 7:21-23 -Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'  Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

Subject: Does Jesus Know You?

• We tend to think in the terms of, do we know Jesus. But the more important thing is does Jesus know us?!
• Two groups that call Jesus their own...those who will enter the Kingdom & those who will not.
• Matthew 13:24-30 - Let the wheat and tares grow together & God will do the separating.
• What have we done for Jesus?
• The comfort to realize is that our works do not reflect our salvation because salvation is a gift from God.
• By grace we are saved by faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.  Ephesians 2:8-9
• Ephesians 15:17 - Wherefore by you not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
• 2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
• Our lives should present work but the work is by salvation & for the glory of God.
• Matthew 16:26 - What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul?
• A new commandment I give to you, that you love one to another.  John 13:34

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

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Matthew 18:21-22 - Then came Peter to him, and said, "Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?" Jesus said unto him, "I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but , Until seventy times seven.

Subject: Responding to Conflict

• Conflict is a part of life.
• Conflict is a struggle or some sort of opposition
• We have conflict with (1)ourselves, (2)others, (3)environment & (4)supernatural
• Some have unhealthy reaction with conflict by ignoring or blaming others.
• These are negative responses. Do we have a past hurt? Or are we a perfectionist? Or is there pride involved. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
• We should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger. James 1:19
• A quiet spirit is what God is pleased with.
• We should go to God in prayer when dealing with conflict.
• Order our step in your word and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Psalm 119:133
• We should demonstrate what God would have us to do by emulating Jesus.
• We must implement the precept of God by forgiving.
• The Word of God has given us what we need to deal with conflict.

 Greetings from Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh 

and Mt. Pleasant Baptist

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16 - "For the kingdom of heaven is  like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, he sent them into his vineyard.  When it was about nine o'clock in the morning, he went out again and saw others standing around in the marketplace without work.  He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.'  So they went. When he went out again about noon and three o'clock that afternoon, he did the same thing.  And about five o'clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why are you standing here all day without work?'  They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go and work in the vineyard too.' When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the workers and give the pay starting with the last hired until the first.'  When those hired about five o'clock came, each received a full day's pay.  And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more.  But each one also received the standard wage.  When they received it, they began to complain against the landowner, saying,' These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.'  And the landowner replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn't you agree with me to work for the standard wage?  Take what is yours and go. I want to give to this last man the same as I gave to you.  Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?' So the last will be first, and the the first last."

Subject: A Covenant or a Contract

• When we think someone is 'shorting' us, we get angry.
• Don't fall into the 'anger' mode.
• We are the ones called to be different. 
• The landowner in this lesson rebukes the workers in a nice way by reminding the workers that he had done the hiring.
• God's grace is undeserved by us. It is God's gift to us.
• 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 - For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain.  If fact, I worked harder than all of them - yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
• We should be will to go into the vineyards and work, willingly.
• God is no respecter of persons.
