But God’s word is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (NIV)

WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 03/20/2011

Give glory to God saints, give glory to God; I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ. Last week in our preaching and teaching, we looked at the qualities of a Christian leader (and all Christians) and the challenge was to have the courage to “be different” from the world. This week we will consider the priorities of the Christian leader (and all Christians). Here is the text…

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:6-16 (NIV)

6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.
7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.
8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.
10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
11 Command and teach these things.
12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.
14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: The importance of keeping our priorities right.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Let’s help our children to learn to make God (and godliness) important in their lives

RESPONSIVE READING: #602 The Upright Man

NOTE: Pastors preaching engagements:
Third Baptist Church, Lawrence, Thursday, March 17th at 7 PM. (Male Chorus) van leaving Zion at 6 PM

WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 03/13/2011

Praise the Lord Saints! To God be the glory, for he is worthy of all our praise! This week our preaching /teaching focus, is on a requirement for the people of God to be “different” as illustrated in the list of leadership qualities Paul gives Timothy, a young Pastor at Ephesus. Here is the text…

TEXT: 1 Timothy 3:1-16
1 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.

8 In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.

11 In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.

12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well. 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:
He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: Why all Christians must be different from the world.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: How our belief in God should affect our behavior.

RESPONSIVE READING: #601 The Upright Man

Saints, I thank God for each of you and encourage you that we pray for each other.


Bless you,

Pastor W. C. Hill

WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 03/06/2011

Praise the Lord Saints! My prayer is that you are all well. This week begins a new quarter preaching /teaching focus on worship. This week we will begin with 1 Timothy 2, as Paul gives instruction to church leaders at Ephesus. Here is the text…

TEXT: 1 Timothy 2:1-15
1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: Preparation for Worship

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: What it means and how to be good in church.

RESPONSIVE READING: #589 Growing in Grace

MARCH MEMORY VERSE: Luke 4:8…“It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’

NOTE: We have been asked to provide support to the family of Paulette Marie Blake who recently passed. To help this family in time of need is consistent with our church Vision and who we are, therefore we have agreed to host her home going celebration on this Saturday morning at 11 AM. I will be officiating, Ushers are scheduled, her pastor is doing the eulogy, and they are bringing a small choir, we need to supply an organist if we can.

God bless each of you,
Pastor W. C. Hill
