Sunday April 22, 2018 " We have been called "
Good afternoon followers of BBT I hope you are having a blessed week. Last Sunday was a great day at BBT as Linda brought the Sunday school on how when we give our lives to Christ we get an Extreme makeover. Larry brought his message about what it means to repent. It is not just saying your sorry then just keep on doing the same thing over and over it is about a change of direction a change of heart a desire to be different. Both lessons gave us plenty to think about and ways we need to change. If you were not there Sunday listen to both on our website.
This week I want to speak to you about what you need to be unstoppable. We are going to look at the beginning of young Jeremiah and the prophecy God gave him for Israel. The scripture verses this week are in Jeremiah 1: 1-19. This is the whole 1st chapter. God comes to Jeremiah and tells him what is in store for Israel because of the way they have turned away from God. The message is tough and harsh and the people do not want to hear this and chose not to believe him. Jeremiah is belittled and criticized for his message even thrown into a pit but he never changes the message. He does get angry and frustrated at times but he did not stop doing what God had for him to do. I want to look at Jeremiah’s faith this week and see what was it that kept him going and how we can implement these same things in our lives. It is not going to be easy but doing the right thing is seldom easy. I hope you will join us Sunday and hope you will invite someone to come with you.
Cindy has said the doctors tell her there is little hope for Tim to get much better but her faith is strong and we believe our God can do miracles. She has said they are going to let him come and they are teaching her how to take care of him. Keep praying for the Terrell family and pray for a full recovery for Tim. Please also pray for the prayer request mentioned last week and remember to keep doing good things for people even when you don’t feel like it. You are a representative of Christ all the time. Hope to see you on SUNDAY!!!
We love you so much,
Pastor David & Pris
