"THE KING IS COMING! ... LESSONS FOR LIFE AND ETERNITY FROM THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT" Matthew 5, 6, 7

Sunday Services

"The King Is Coming! Lessons For Life and Eternity from The Sermon on the Mount" ...Matt. 5,6,7

F. LaGard Smith states, "The "Sermon on the Mount is perhaps the most familiar and instructive sermon ever presented by Jesus. Matthew and Luke may record Jesus' teaching in two different settings, although the content appears much the same. Just as many of Jesus' sermons are apparently never recorded, so too some of his sermons are probably repeated from place to place. In any event, this collection of Jesus' teachings brings one to the heart of His message concerning the Kingdom of God.

Covering a broad spectrum of spiritual topics, Jesus speaks of the nature of the Kingdom, of repentance, of faith, and of worship - and particularly of prayer and humility. Always demonstrating a concern for human welfare, Jesus deals specifically with family and social relationships and discusses at length the effect of possessions on one's faith and peace of mind. The discourse begins beautifully with the blessings in store for the righteous, and harshly with the woes which will befall those whose lives are spiritually rebellious." p.1381 The Narrated Bible

Come join us Sundays to discover the opportunities and resources that King Jesus gives His followers to actively participate in His Kingdom now and forever...

Families of all sizes and ages are important at First Baptist Church.

Our schedule puts families at the center of who we are.

Do you need a place to not only "feel" but actually "be" at home?

We are a Fellowship of God's Grace in Jesus Christ.

Come get aquainted with new friends!

Jesus says,

"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

John 13:35

With the goal to love one another in Jesus’ strength,

we care about people

and their needs... in Henning, the surrounding area,

and to distant parts of our world.

You will hear about glorifying God,

trusting and treasuring Jesus,

praying, giving, going, encouraging...

Being loved, healed, forgiven, given hope and

encouragement... some of the reasons

God has put us here!

A COMPLETE SACRIFICE

Willis Hotchkiss was a pioneer missionary in East Africa in the late 1800’s who made what we would consider extraordinary sacrifices for the sake of Christ. On one occasion, he described some of the conditions he and others had faced in the early days of their work: living for more than two months on beans and sour milk, enduring without basic necessities for extended periods of time, fearing attacks from man-eating lions, watching many colleagues lose their lives. Then he concluded:

“But don’t talk to me about sacrifice. It is no sacrifice. In the face of the superlative joy of that one overwhelming experience, the joy of flashing that miracle word, Savior, for the first time to a great tribe that had never heard it before, I can never think of these forty years in terms of sacrifice. I saw Christ and His cross and I did this because I loved him.  [cited in T.A. Hegre, The Cross and Sanctification (Mpls, Bethany, 1960, p. 179-80)]

 “IF there is anything holding you back, or any sacrifice you are afraid of making, come to God and prove how gracious your God is.  Never be afraid that He will command from you what He will not bestow!  God comes and offers to work this absolute surrender in you.”

UPDATE 1/19/2010    People

Withny Pierre is back home in New York. He flew to Miami on Friday via military transport from Port-au-Prince.

Estimates of quake-related deaths vary from 50,000 to more than 200,000.

Authorities attempted to set up a curfew for 6:00 p.m. on Sunday; all people had to be off the streets. One can guess it made little sense to those folks living in the streets because their homes were destroyed or out of fear of aftershocks.

Despite some notable incidents, authorities report the level of violence in the city now is less than before the quake.


Logistics and support

Port-au-Prince Airport is open around the clock and now has a capacity of handling 100 flights per day, up from 60 on Saturday. There are so many arriving flights that some have been diverted to the Dominican Republic.

Thirty military helicopters at work.

7,500 additional U.S. military personnel are expected today.

U.S. Navy ship Comfort is scheduled to arrive on the 20th, bringing 600 medical personnel.


Food and water – a daunting challenge to get food and water to people in need

Three water purification systems are in action, each capable of supplying drinking water for 10,000 people (1 million liters per day per system). Six other systems are on the way.

A water team at work with the Baptist Hospital is trying to get drinking water into the city but struggles to find safe ways to deliver it. Large water bladders were ruled out because they might generate a mobbing situation. Jerry cans or other smaller containers may be their solution.

A shipment of 600,000 “humanitarian daily rations” was supposed to have been delivered to the airport on Saturday evening.

More food and water is getting to the people, but the distribution challenges are daunting with rubble in the streets and some blockades. A few of those blockades were set up to prevent dumping of corpses from other neighborhoods.


Medical and Rescue

Kings Hospital (World Relief) and the Haiti Baptist Hospital are running strong, setting fractures and treating other injuries, all the while dealing with shortages of fuel, oxygen, IV and general supplies. Leadership at the Haiti Baptist Hospital refer to the supply situation as similar to the widow’s flask of cooking oil: never a surplus but God always supplying the need of the moment.

There are now 27 international search and rescue teams (SAR) in Haiti, six from the USA. Most teams would have 70 people. Texas Task Force One, which was on standby, was told they will not be needed in Haiti because there were sufficient rescue teams on site.


Contacts

For people seeking information about family members in Haiti, the U.S. State Department has a special number: 1-888-407-4747.

 

Converge work in Haiti

Among the immediate projects we’re considering are:

1. Assisting the families of five pastors who perished in the quake, all well-known by our Haitian ministries director Withny Pierre.
2. Providing food and a place to stay for Christians sleeping on the streets with nowhere to go. Because of their commitment to Christ, these people do not fight or join in on the looting.
   

This work would be coordinated with Baptist leaders, a temporary team formed of the General Secretary of the Haitian Baptist Convention, affected pastors and our 1by1 staff in Port-au-Prince.


Pray for Haitians

• That the Haitian church would shine even in the midst of brokenness, pain and shortages.
• That many would experience the love and light of Christ, and commit to him.
• That peacemakers would prevail in the toughest of neighborhoods and fear be conquered.
• That lives be rebuilt.
• That Port-au-Prince become a place of health and joy for all its inhabitants.
