A meditation for Revival

7/30/2015

The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. (Psa 145:17-19)

Why does revival tarry for GOD's Church? Think on these things:
Why is it that GOD is with us and within us, yet so many of us live our lives with little awareness of His presence?
If an unbeliever were to ask you, "what's it like to be filled with, or lead or guided by, the Holy Spirit?", what would you tell them?
Do you really want to have a daily dependence upon Him? Or are you simply looking for instant help from the immediate problem of the day?
Do you wish to partake in a rich and full relationship with the King of all kings? Or are you concerned that He might interfere with the way you want to run your life?

Only when we finally come to a sincere desire for Him, as Psalm 145 indicated, will we discover what He has wanted us to have all along. And we can only receive that which He has for us if we know Him, and have His great Salvation, by faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary.

Be Attitudes for Revival

3/30/2014

Conclusions from this week's revival meetings:

The meetings may be over, however, the revival can continue if GOD's people do the things that GOD requires for revival.

For GOD's revival to come to GOD's Church, GOD's people must be in Christ, seeking His face and living in and through Him.
His children must be repentant, acknowledging our sIn as an offense to our Holy GOD.
We must be continually filled, not drunk and out of control, but controlled by the Holy Spirit.
We must be broken before the Throne of GOD, useful for the Master.
We must be obedient to GOD and His Word, to do all that GOD has commanded.

Then He will revive His people, so we can be on mission for Him, to minister to the hurting, disciple one another, and share His message of Hope to this lost and dying world.

If you don't know Him and have a saving relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ, we invite you to surrender to Him on His terms and be born again. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary is sufficient for your sIn and receive Him by faith and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Trust Him for forgiveness and Salvation today.

In Christ,

The LORD hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm

A special announcement to our community.

Due to the expected appearance of TS Karen on Sunday, we are cancelling services for the AM, unless Karen is downgraded below Tropical Storm strength.

Please be prepared to stay home and be safe that morning, unless the path or intensity changes.

If TS Karen is at or above TS strength, understand that we are cancelling Sunday school and worship service for the AM.

Due to the inclement weather expected the van will not run for AM or PM.

If Karen has been downgraded below TS or misses us then use your own discretion as to your attendance.

The Staff, leaders, and deacons are prepared to assist you, and will coordinate any assistance necessary if a need arises.

We know we can trust our GOD, and He expects us to pray and use some common sense in times like these. The Staff of First Baptist Mossy Head want you to be safe and secure in the midst of the storm.

Revive us again

9/24/2013

Revival. A series of meetings scheduled on the calendar, or an interaction with the Living GOD who restores, rejuvenates, and renews those that repent? It would seem to be a rhetorical question to a Christian, but, how many times have we gone to a series of meetings and left the same way we came? How many emotional experiences have we had, but no lasting heart change?

If we are not looking for revival, but simply attending the meeting the church has scheduled, will GOD meet us and truly make a difference to us? Trusting GOD means surrendering to Him on His terms and then observing to do all that He commands. When we repent, we turn from our sIn, and turn to a Holy and Righteous GOD who has the right to expect our obedience. Trust and Obey, for there's no other way. Daily and continually, those of us who are called by His Name must submit to His authority, take up our cross, and follow Him. Our position in Christ is one of a new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting.

REVIVAL is coming, it is scheduled on the calendar. You don't have to wait until Sunday to return to GOD, nor should it end on Weds. Pray for revival in yourself and our community, then prepare yourself for what GOD is going to do. Expect it. Believe it. Experience it and rejoice in His Salvation.

Revival. Sunday Sep 29 through Oct 2 at 6 PM.
Guest speaker: Dr. Richard Elligson of Baptist College of Florida.

Thoughts from the Staff

9/19/2013

Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your GOD, and observe to do ALL the Words of this Law: (Deut. 31:12)

As your Sunday School Director it is my earnest prayer that as we come into this time of transition to a new schedule, and look forward to our coming Sunday School year, that we will keep our eyes on Jesus, and remember our purpose and goal for the Sunday School.

Go out and gather the people in, All people of our community: Men, Women, Children and Visitors.
Prepare classes so that they may hear from GOD's Word, they may learn of Him and their need of Jesus.
Disciple all members to be obedient to All of what GOD has said, and is saying in His Word.

Send them out to continue the ingathering and discipling.

(Teachers: Remember our prayer meeting at 8:15 Sunday morning.)

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
