First Importance
Come to FBC Meridian Sunday Morning. I'll be preaching on the central theme of Christianity. Christ died. Christ is Alive. Read 1 Cor. 15:1-11 before you come. See y'all Sunday.
The Texture of His Love
The Maundy Thursday command calls us to love each other as Jesus loved his disciples. How did Jesus love? His love was patient, humble, and sacrificial. Ponder your own love as you continue to walk through Holy Week. Does it match the texture of his?
Mandatum
I will preach and help serve the Supper tonight at FBC Meridian. If you are in Meridian please join us for a special time of worship beginning at 6:00.
"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciple, if you love one another." John 13:34-35 NRSV
Celebration and Playground Dedication
Pray for the Playgound for Jesus Celebration that will take place this Saturday. I am using Colossians 4:2-3 as a basis for my prayer. "Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door for the message, to speak the mystery of the Messiah..."
We want hearts to be open to the simple message of the gospel. Timmy Miller "Da Minista" will share the message Saturday afternoon. He is a hip hop artist and Penetcostal preacher. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move among the kids in East End.
Come out for a great day of ministry and fellowship. Events begin at 10:00. Thanks.
Starlight
I've been invited to preach for Bishop Cornelious McClellan at the Starlight Baptist Church the Sunday after Easter. Pray that we will be able to develop a healthy partnership. God has put East End on our hearts.
Get up and pray...
We continue our, Places of the Passion, sermon series this Sunday morning. I will explore the garden prayer scene in Luke 22:39-46. The evangelist gives us a good glimpse into the prayer life of Jesus. We are wise to learn from him. Rabbi Jesus is simply the best teacher and model of authentic prayer.
Stanley Grenz once said, "The greatest challenge that we face today is the challenge to pray." The three apostles faced this same challenge and Jesus called them to, "Get up and pray..." We need to respond to this challenge. A good place to start is by following Jesus' example in the garden.
The word Gethsemane means, "oil press." It is a fitting name for what happened there. The Presence of the Sprirt was pressed out of Jesus' prayer time and he received strength for the hour. Jesus wanted his three closest friends to experience the same gracious anointing he did. They slept through it. We don't have to.
Read Jesus' prayer and notice the elements of it. His prayer life was: habitual, honest, passionate, and faith-filled. Are these elements part of your prayer life? Join us this Sunday as we examine this prayer together or check it out on Truthcasting later in the week. God bless y'all!
