Top of the afternoon to you!!!! We greet you in Divine Love; our prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven!!!
Well Sunday started at 9:30am with Sunday School, remember on 1st Sunday we move our times around, so that we can accommodate baptism. Sunday School was good as usual, class #3 won the banner offering, the adult class and class #2 won the banner attendance, way to go teens!!! We had baptismal service at 10:30am, again we graciously appreciates Pastor Marcus Gibson and the Shady Grove Baptist Church for allowing us to baptize with them. We had 2 souls to go down in the liquid grave(Praise God).
We got back to New Beginning and worship service started at 11:30am, it was raining outside so our crowd was small, but the presence of God was great!!! The choir was off the chain as usual and this Sunday we had a visiting praise dancer, who blessed in the ministry of dance(she was truly awesome)
I was excited about preaching, and I shared with the family, "who wouldn't serve a God like this?" I tell you the word went forth and God blessed us tremendously!!!! Looking forward to prayer service and Bible class!!!

Top of the evening to everyone, we greet you in Divine Love, our prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven!!!!
We started this Wednesday night at 6:00pm with New member's class and prayer service!! Before our Spring Revival this year in March, we had two days of prayer and it set the atmosphere for our Spring Revival!!! So we implemented a prayer service on Wednesday nights from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Our Deacons and Deaconess are in charge of this service!!! I was teaching our new members class in our fellowship hall and was able to hear the saints singing and praying I was so encouraged. Thank you New Beginning for being a church that doesn't mind praying!!!
Well at 7:00pm we started our Bible Class and of course we are still studying, "What we believe as a Baptist!!" We did two more articles. article #12 and #13. They are as follows: XII- The Harmony of the Law and the Gospel- We believe that the law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government; that it is holy, just, and good; and that the inability which the Scriptures ascribe to fallen men to fulfill its precepts arises entirely from their love of sin; to deliver them from which, and to restore them through a Mediator to unfeigned obedience to the holy Law, is one great end of the gospel, and of the means of grace connected with the establishment of the visible church. Article XIII- A Gospel Church- We believe that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by his laws; and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by his word; that its only Scriptural officers are bishops, or pastors and deacons, whose qualifications, claims, and duties are defined in the epistles to Timothy and Titus.
You can imagine that we had an awesome time and discussion. One of the discussions we had was if we as a Baptist believe in these articles of faith and we say that we are governed by his laws(which is the Bible) why do we as Baptist run to the By-laws like they are the Bible I would love to hear your comments!!! Leave me a post!!!!!

Top of the Evening to everyone, we greet you in Divine love, our prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven!!!!
On this past Wednesday we came together at 6:00pm for our prayer service, as we are trying to but the emphasis back on be a praying church!!! We started our bible class promptly at 7:00pm, we are still studying "What we Believe as a Baptist"! We picked up tonight with article number X. Sanctification: We believe that sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of his holiness; that it is a progressive work; that it is begun in regeneration; and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Sealer and Comforter, in the continual use of the appointed means, especially the word of God, self-examination, self-denial, watchfulness, and prayer.
The Second article we studied was article number XI. The Perseverance of Saints: We believe that such only are real believers as endure unto the end; that their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from superficial professors; that a special Providence watches over their welfare; and that they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation!
I am so very proud of the family of New Beginning because they are coming out to be taught the word of God!!! Way to go family!!!

Top of the afternoon to everyone, we greet you in Divine Love, my prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven!!!!
This past Sunday was a tremendous blessing, of course we started with our Sunday School at 10:00am. The lesson for this Sunday was "Restoring Human Lives" print text was Ezekiel 36:22-32, of course the lesson was real good. Class #2 which is the teen class won the Banner Attendance and Class #3 which is the adult class won the Banner Offering.
Well our morning worship service started promptly at the 11:00am hour, it was raining outside but the family of New Beginning Church pressed their way through(shucks now). The atmosphere was great because Dr. Keith Witherspoon left some fire after our revival, as I was sitting in the pulpit mediating one of the sons of the house, asked me if I was ok, because coming after Dr. Witherspoon has got to be a hard task, I told him yes sir it is, and I should have made him(the son) preach this morning!!!!(LOL)
Anyhow the choir was off the chain as usual, and I close our series on this past Sunday!! I preached from I Peter 5:10 and the subject was, "Watch us after this" the Lord showed out in a mighty way and another soul was added to the family!!!
On Monday March 16, 2009 my pastor, Pastor Elliott Williams of the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia is in revival at the Concord Baptist Church in Salem, Alabama. I went over to support him, he preached from Psalms 43, his subject was the Power of Prayer!!!. My pastor did an awesome job sharing the word with the people of the Concord church!!!
Well revival last week, and Sunday has wore me out so let me get some rest and I will talk to you guys on Thursday!!!!!
