He's the King of Creation, who called all of the beauty around us into being. He's the King of Justice, who not only judges every wrong, but takes that wrong upon Himself for the sake of His children. And He's a King who always acts in accordance with His steadfast love. Join us at 10 a.m. and we'll rejoice in our Benevolent King!

Call to Worship - Psalm 32:5-7
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Hebrews 12:5-7
Have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

Praise          571 Trust and ObeyWhen two people say, I Do, they exchange vows publicly so they can share their joy with family and friends. Christians feel the same about their Lord. Once they realize He's said, I Do, by dying for them at Calvary, they want to express their love publicly. But how? By being Baptized! Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we share the joy of a believer's union with her Beloved!

                     278 Angels We Have Heard on High (1,2,3)

Christ Proclaimed
Isaiah 9:2-7  "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone... For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from this time forth and forevermore"
 
Luke 2:8-11  "And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.' "

Message  Song of Shepherds
                   Luke 2:11-20

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Carol         253 Silent Night! Holy Night! (1,2,3,4)

Benediction

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - 2 Corinthians 5:19-21
In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Throughout Scripture God's people sought answers to perplexing and painful realities which, they reasoned, their Sovereign God could have prevented. Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we once again ask our Lord, "Why?"

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Habakkuk 1:2-4
O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save? Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.

Call to Worship - Psalm 40:1-3
I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Ephesians 4:29-32
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

We have been so overwhelmed and overjoyed by all Jesus has done - especially in us - that we cannot but speak. More than that, we have God's Spirit to enable us. Not bold, you say? Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we ask God to give us a New Boldness!

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Hebrews 4:15-16
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with boldness draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to Operation Andrew!

Andrew, of course, was Peter's brother. And it was Andrew who introduced Peter to Jesus, the same Peter who became one of the early leaders of the church, preached the powerful sermons recorded in the Book of Acts, and wrote two of the best-known letters of the New Testament. All because Andrew shared Jesus with his brother. Will you share Jesus with the next Peter, or Paul, or Billy Graham?

'How?' you ask. During the next weeks and months, we'll engage in training and prayer - training so we'll be equipped to share the Gospel, and prayer as we seek God's blessing on our effort which, as we learned last year, is the one essential in all we do.

So come along! Join us as we seek to share Jesus with others! And, in the spirit of Andrew, bring a friend!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to Operation Andrew!

Andrew, of course, was Peter's brother. And it was Andrew who introduced Peter to Jesus, the same Peter who became one of the early leaders of the church, preached the powerful sermons recorded in the Book of Acts, and wrote two of the best-known letters of the New Testament. All because Andrew shared Jesus with his brother. Will you share Jesus with the next Peter, or Paul, or Billy Graham?

'How?' you ask. During the next weeks and months, we'll engage in training and prayer - training so we'll be equipped to share the Gospel, and prayer as we seek God's blessing on our effort which, as we learned last year, is the one essential in all we do.

So come along! Join us as we seek to share Jesus with others! And, in the spirit of Andrew, bring a friend!

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Jesus had longed to celebrate the Passover with His disciples before His Crucifixion. Why? Because it signaled the end of His mission as the Lamb of God whose sacrifice would lead to a greater Exodus than that from Egypt. Join us tonight at 6 p.m. as celebrate the Passover's fulfillment in the Lord's Supper.

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Exodus 12:14, 26-27
This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast...And when your children say to you, 'What do you mean by this service?' you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.

Prayer

Praise   327 The Old Rugged Cross
              336 There Is a Fountain
              323 At the Cross

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

Praise   309 I Will Sing of My Redeemer

 Sermon          Maundy Thursday
                         Exodus 12:1-51/1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Praise   326 Blessed Redeemer

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to Operation Andrew!

Andrew, of course, was Peter's brother. And it was Andrew who introduced Peter to Jesus, the same Peter who became one of the early leaders of the church, preached the powerful sermons recorded in the Book of Acts, and wrote two of the best-known letters of the New Testament. All because Andrew shared Jesus with his brother. Will you share Jesus with the next Peter, or Paul, or Billy Graham?

'How?' you ask. During the next weeks and months, we'll engage in training and prayer - training so we'll be equipped to share the Gospel, and prayer as we seek God's blessing on our effort which, as we learned last year, is the one essential in all we do.

So come along! Join us as we seek to share Jesus with others! And, in the spirit of Andrew, bring a friend!

Jesus said He was the Good Shepherd and promised to do whatever was necessary to save His sheep. And, so, when He rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as King, it was simply prelude to His purpose in coming - to save His sheep! Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. and marvel with us at our Shepherd King!

Call to Worship - Ezekiel 34:11-12
For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This service took place on Palm Sunday, April 13, during our 10 A.M. service.  Due to technical difficulties, the original YouTube included video only. This edited version includes most of the service, including associated audio.  This upload includes only the sermon.  Thank you, and God bless!

Jesus said He was the Good Shepherd and promised to do whatever was necessary to save His sheep. And, so, when He rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as King, it was simply prelude to His purpose in coming - to save His sheep! Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. and marvel with us at our Shepherd King!

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Ezekiel 34:11-12
For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to Operation Andrew!

Andrew, of course, was Peter's brother. And it was Andrew who introduced Peter to Jesus, the same Peter who became one of the early leaders of the church, preached the powerful sermons recorded in the Book of Acts, and wrote two of the best-known letters of the New Testament. All because Andrew shared Jesus with his brother. Will you share Jesus with the next Peter, or Paul, or Billy Graham?

'How?' you ask. During the next weeks and months, we'll engage in training and prayer - training so we'll be equipped to share the Gospel, and prayer as we seek God's blessing on our effort which, as we learned last year, is the one essential in all we do.

So come along! Join us as we seek to share Jesus with others! And, in the spirit of Andrew, bring a friend!

In the same way that Israel collected Manna - day by day - so Jesus taught his disciples to pray -  Lord, give us daily bread so that we will not die. But then Jesus taught them a greater Truth - He is the bread of Life. Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we seek to understand and gather the Bread of Life - God's Heavenly Manna.

'How?' you ask. During the next weeks and months, we'll engage in training and prayer - training so we'll be equipped to share the Gospel, and prayer as we seek God's blessing on our effort which, as we learned last year, is the one essential in all we do.

So come along! Join us as we seek to share Jesus with others! And, in the spirit of Andrew, bring a friend!

For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.

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

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

For example, the humble are exalted, the poor are made rich, the proud are brought low, and it is in dying that we live. No wonder Christians were known as those 'who have turned the world upside down!' Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. and we'll help you interpret life as a Christian!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There was a time for every Christian when God broke into their ordinary lives with the wonderful news that to them - and for them - a Savior had been born. So it was for the shepherds, and so it is for us. Join us tonight at 6 p.m. and come and see for yourselves this Christmas Eve!

Luke 2:8-11  "And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.' "

Message  Song of Shepherds
                   Luke 2:11-20

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Carol         253 Silent Night! Holy Night! (1,2,3,4)

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to our Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

We were greatly blessed during September and October by so many who helped us seek God's blessing of Revival. Believing God is answering that prayer, we will continue coming together with other churches to pray for Revival and Awakening here in Williamstown and the adjacent communities. Please pray with us, and if you're able, join us tonight from 6:00 - 7:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall !

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us? God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to our Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

We were greatly blessed during September and October by so many who helped us seek God's blessing of Revival. Believing God is answering that prayer, we will continue coming together with other churches to pray for Revival and Awakening here in Williamstown and the adjacent communities. Please pray with us, and if you're able, join us tonight from 6:00 - 7:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall !

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us? God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to our Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

We were greatly blessed during September and October by so many who helped us seek God's blessing of Revival. Believing God is answering that prayer, we will continue coming together with other churches to pray for Revival and Awakening here in Williamstown and the adjacent communities. Please pray with us, and if you're able, join us tonight from 6:00 - 7:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall !

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us? God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to the final night of our six-week Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

It'll be hard to top last night, but nothing is impossible with our God! We'll begin at 6PM, and we'll be thanking God for all He's done over the last 6 weeks. We pray you'll join us!

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us?

We'll meet each Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall at 6PM for an hour beginning September 11th and concluding October 9th. Then we'll meet on Sunday October 13th through Wednesday October 16th at 6PM to thank God for the Revival we are witnessing in response to our Prayers, and praise Him for the changed lives around us - including our own!

So come along! God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to the sixth week of our Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

During these next two nights from 6PM to 7PM we'll rejoice at what God has been doing here at First Baptist Williamstown! Each night we'll celebrate with praise and proclamation - first we'll sing His praises and then we'll proclaim His word of salvation! We pray you'll join us!

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us?

We'll meet each Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall at 6PM for an hour beginning September 11th and concluding October 9th. Then we'll meet on Sunday October 13th through Wednesday October 16th at 6PM to thank God for the Revival we are witnessing in response to our Prayers, and praise Him for the changed lives around us - including our own!

So come along! God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to the fourth week of our Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us?

We'll meet each Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall at 6PM for an hour beginning September 11th and concluding October 9th. Then we'll meet on Sunday October 13th through Wednesday October 16th at 6PM to thank God for the Revival we are witnessing in response to our Prayers, and praise Him for the changed lives around us - including our own!

So come along! God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to the third week of our Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us?

We'll meet each Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall at 6PM for an hour beginning September 11th and concluding October 9th. Then we'll meet on Sunday October 13th through Wednesday October 16th at 6PM to thank God for the Revival we are witnessing in response to our Prayers, and praise Him for the changed lives around us - including our own!

So come along! God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome to our Abounding Joy Prayer Revival!

God wants a relationship with each of his children and, like any relationship, communication is paramount. Two-way, open, honest communication. God has spoken, and continues to speak to us, through His Word. We speak to Him through Prayer.

But what does Prayer involve? A certain posture before Him, a certain time of day, a certain location? And are there topics we should or should not raise? All of these we'll look at over the next 6 weeks. And it's important that we examine ourselves in this area. Why? Because Prayer precedes Revival.

In Scripture, and repeated over and over again throughout Church history, Prayer precedes Revival. The heart-felt seeking of God's will. And, when knowing that will, a heart-felt repentance and surrender of our lives into the hands of our all-loving, all-powerful, ever-faithful God. Will you join us?

We'll meet each Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall at 6PM for an hour beginning September 11th and concluding October 9th. Then we'll meet on Sunday October 13th through Wednesday October 16th at 6PM to thank God for the Revival we are witnessing in response to our Prayers, and praise Him for the changed lives around us - including our own!

So come along! God is on His throne, and He's waiting for you!

Yet, Abraham was commanded to be Circumcised, and Christians are commanded to be Baptized. If they don't save, why would they be commanded? Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we explain the connection between Circumcision, Baptism and Being Saved!

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Romans 4:11-12
[Abraham] received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well, and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

And where would we begin to even try? Jesus began with the Law. Yes, the Old Testament Law. Really? Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we seek His meaning and His perfection!

Call to Worship - Galatians 3:21-22
Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Call to Worship - 1 Corinthians 15:3-8
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Jesus had longed to celebrate the Passover with His disciples before His Crucifixion. Why? Because it signaled the end of His mission as the Lamb of God whose sacrifice would lead to a greater Exodus than that from Egypt. Join us tonight at 6 p.m. as celebrate the Passover's fulfillment in the Lord's Supper.

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Call to Worship - Exodus 12:14, 26-27
This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast...And when your children say to you, 'What do you mean by this service?' you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.

Prayer

Praise   327 The Old Rugged Cross
              336 There Is a Fountain
              323 At the Cross

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

Praise   309 I Will Sing of My Redeemer

Praise   326 Blessed Redeemer

And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day."

Christ Foretold

Christ Fulfilled 
Luke 2:4-7  "And Joseph also went up from Galilee...to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.  And while they were there...she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn."

Matt 1:20-21,23  "...that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins...and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us)."

Christ Proclaimed
Isaiah 9:2-7  "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone... For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from this time forth and forevermore"
 
Luke 2:8-11  "...there were shepherds out in the field... the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.  And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord...' "

Message  Let Us Go
                   Luke 2:11-20

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!" And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!"

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Prayer            Call to Worship

Nehemiah 9:19-21 
You in your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud to lead them in the way did not depart from them by day, nor the pillar of fire by night.

Forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing.

Isaiah 40:28-31
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Prayer            Call to Worship

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him-- a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Since Jesus admonished his disciples to avoid using long 'empty phrases' when praying, should we repeatedly ask for the same thing? Or should we trust that God heard our prayer and will answer in His time? Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we consider Jesus' parable of the Persistent Widow.

Prayer          Call to Worship

Isaiah 6:1-3
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"

WORSHIP ORDER - Hymns from the Celebration Hymnal 

Prayer          Call to Worship

Galatians 4:4-6
When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Christians are saved sinners, and our sinful natures can create conflicts which accomplish what opponents could not - destroy the unity of the Body and stop God's work.

As that Church, especially today, Christians have the unique responsibility of modeling Faith to a frightened world.  But how can we when we ourselves are afraid? Join us Sunday at 10 AM, either online or at First Baptist, as we look at the book of Joshua and ask, "How can we be Fearless?"

Throughout life our knowledge, work or preparation are periodically evaluated and compared to a specific gold standard - we ace exams, receive clean audit reports or win the game.  The Final Judgment is no different.  Our lives will be examined.  But what will be the outcome?  Join us Sunday at 10 A.M., either online or at First Baptist, as we prepare for Judgment Day!

Some may be articulate, dynamic orators whose magnetic personalities draw multitudes, while others are pedestrian, simple preachers whose congregations struggle to survive.  How do we judge?  How does God judge?  Join us tomorrow at 10 AM, either in church or online, as we meet two end-time preachers in Revelation 13 who draw multitudes and ask: Are they Godly?

How patient is God?  As long as time exists 'today is the day of salvation.'  And until the last trumpet sounds, He wants us to be ambassadors, salt and light, proclaiming His gospel to a dying world!    Today we'll look at Revelation 10 and its encouragement to share the Word!

Deliver us from Evil. We've prayed the Lord's Prayer often, ending with this request, but what do we mean by Evil?  Do we really believe in an Evil to be delivered from?  Today we'll look at Revelation 9 and its warning of one of the evils to come - Locusts!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks for checking out out our YouTube live Sunday worship service!
This morning Chuck asks... where do you turn in times of fear and uncertainty? 
The answer is JESUS!!
Our God is a personal God, and cares about our welfare. 
This is not true just for a select few but for ALL God's people...
His blessings are bestowed on those who HEAR and KEEP His Word!
Is the Lord happy with what you're doing? Do your ways please Him?
In this broadcast Chuck continues his look at Revelation 1-2, 
which was written to some 1st Century churches asking the same questions!
Remember, we ALL suffer from a malady with a 100% death rate, and 
JESUS is the ultimate antivirus!

Tune in to hear a powerful message from Chuck today from the book of Revelation. What do we do in the midst of unforeseen change and chaos? How do we react - what do we do, and where is God? John the Beloved was having a "Corona Crisis" on Patmos, when the Lord appeared and said..."Fear not!" Amazing words from a wise old fisherman.
