WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 10/03/2010

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: 

God is good, all the time, and all the time...I want to thank all of you that were faithful in participating in our Fall Revival and helped in my 8th Pastoral Anniversary celebration. It was a fine time, I thank God for you, and I look forward to serving the Lord with you in the future.

In our preaching and teaching, we are still focusing on our quarterly theme of the “Inescapable God” This week begins a two month study of some of the Psalms, as we consider “God as our sustainer and protector.” The text for this week is Psalm 8. Here is the text… 

TEXT: Psalm 8:1-9 (NIV)

 1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise [b] because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings [c] and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:

7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

 

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: Finding our real “identity” in God. (Who is man?)

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Trying to learn to take on the “likeness” of God. (consider his attributes of love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, patience, etc.)

NOTE: 

Our Fall Revival theme was “Lord do it” with our text coming from the Book of Lamentations 5:21 which says...”Restore us to yourself, O LORD, that we may return; renew our days as of old. The preachers had messages very appropriate to the theme and text, let me suggest again that if you missed the Revival, consider getting a copy of the CD, you will be blessed.

Yours in service and love,

Pastor W. C. Hill

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ:‭ ‬In all things praise Him,‭ ‬praise him,‭ ‬praise Him,‭ ‬for He is worthy of ALL of our praise.‭ ‬he really is‭!

If you were not at our Revival last night,‭ ‬you missed it‭! ‬Rev Debora Jackson preached a word that every member and especially church leaders need to hear.‭ ‬Let me suggest you get a copy of the CD,‭ ‬listen to it,‭ ‬and consider our‭ "‬personal role‭" ‬in being spiritually revived and helping our Church Vision become our Church Reality.

This week as we continue in the quarterly theme of the‭ "‬Inescapable God,‭" ‬Minister Gabriel Taylor will be bringing the sermon. Here is the text‭…‬

TEXT: Exodus‭ ‬34:5-7 ‭(‬New International Version‭)

5 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name,‭ ‬the LORD. 6 And he passed in front of Moses,‭ ‬proclaiming,‭ "‬The LORD,‭ ‬the LORD,‭ ‬the compassionate and gracious God,‭ ‬slow to anger,‭ ‬abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands,‭ ‬and forgiving wickedness,‭ ‬rebellion and sin.‭ ‬Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished‭; ‬he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.‭"

TITLE:‭ ‬The Almighty

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT:‭ ‬The power of The Creator.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE:‭ ‬Understanding the limitless power of God.

RESPONSIVE‭ ‬READING:‭ ‬#‭ ‬563‭ ‬God The Omnipotent

NOTE:

‭***‬As leaders and role models,‭ ‬each of us should make every effort to come to support the Revival so that we are not asking others to do something we are not willing to do ourselves.‭ ‬Choir did great job last night,‭ ‬tonight Male Chorus.

‭***‬This Sunday afternoon,‭ ‬we will celebrate my‭ ‬8th Pastoral Anniversary‭; ‬I am hoping you will come out and be supportive.

Yours in Christian love and service,

WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 09/19/2010 

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: In all things praise Him, praise him, praise Him, for He is worthy of ALL of our praise.  Homecoming was a great time in the Lord, major thanks to all that worked to make it a success--special gratitude to the Homecoming Committee for their great work.

This week for our preaching/teaching focus, we will get back on track with the text from Sunday school lessons and the story of Moses going up on the mountain to get the 10 Commandments from God, and what happened down below while he was gone. (Aren't you glad we serve a God that is patient with his people?)

Here is the text… 

TEXT: Exodus 32:1-6 (NIV)

1 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."

2 Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me." 

3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 

4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."

5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the LORD." 

6So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: The danger of serving a "god" that you made.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Trying to learn to do what God wants us to do.

HOME COMING SUNDAY

September 12, 2010

At a dressed down church service to begin the church year Alex Newell led the choir as it entered the sanctuary. We had many visitors including Pastor John Grayson from Selma Alabama who proclaimed us "a good old country church." And many old timers including the Homecoming Queen and King: Carri and Aaron Murkison. Our Rev. Dr William C Hill preached on how in the Lord's house, there's "no place like Home." It was a wonderful celebration of the Lord with good food and fellowship following the service. If you didn't make it last Sunday please come home next Sunday, we miss you.

WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 09/12/2010 

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: In all things give God the praise, He is worthy of all our praise.  Here we go, back to our regular schedule. This week I feel called to stray from SS text and to tap into Homecoming, by going to the Prodigal Son text in Luke's Gospel.  Here is the text… 

TEXT: Luke 15:11-32 

Luk 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: Luk 15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.  And he divided unto them his living.  Luk 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.  Luk 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.  Luk 15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.  Luk 15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.  Luk 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!  Luk 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, Luk 15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.  Luk 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father.  But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.  Luk 15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.  Luk 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: Luk 15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: Luk 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.  And they began to be merry.  Luk 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.  Luk 15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.  Luk 15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.  Luk 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.  Luk 15:29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: Luk 15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.  Luk 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.  Luk 15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.  

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: Several ways of returning to God.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Trying harder to do what God wants you to do.

RESPONSIVE READING: # 604 Peace

Yours in love and service, 

Pastor W. C. Hill

SUNDAY SCHOOL INFORMATION

God Makes a Covenant with Israel

Our Sunday School Text is Exodus 20:1-11

1And God spoke all these words:
2“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3“You shall have no other gods before£ me.
4“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
8“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
