I Keep Going and Going and Going

Are You A Living Witness?

  As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 

Philip Proclaims Christ in Samaria

  Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. 

  Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 

  And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 

  For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 

  And there was great joy in that city. 

We conclude the Monthly teaching and retraining of the Baptist Church Covenant or rather the universal Presbyterian church covenant.

Minister Webb reminded us that we should be born-again Holy Ghost filled and baptized believers. And as the New Testament church in . We are to be in covenant with one another as one body of Christ.

  And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 

  And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 

  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 

  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. 

3. Secondly Minister Hall continued to remind us that through the Holy Spirit, bearing the fruit of the Spirit as Paul gives in ;

We should walk together in Christian love. And the Bible states in the book of Amos that we can’t walk together unless we be agreed.

In other words we must be unified and of the same purposed goal. Walking in the same path of God’s work.

And then we can build up the our local and universal church body. We will support the worship service( as you are now by viewing on line)..............THE VIRUS DOES’NT STOP

MY WORSHIP......

When we are unified we obey the doctrines and we give freely of our finance (tithes and offerings and witness to someone of the Gospel of Jesus.

4. Thirdly Elder Smith said that we should be the main teachers and nurturers of our children. We should religiously educate our children and seek the salvation of our relatives.

We shouldn’t let the social media train our children, the music videos, the pop stars, or their friends in school. But we should teach them by example and the scripture how to accept Jesus as their saviour and become Holy Ghost filled and live a Holy Life.

Moses told the children of Israel that they should teach the children the word of the Lord.

Deu 6:7  And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 

Elder Smith also reminded us that we should not be liers, backbiters and to have temperance and not become easily angered.

  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 

Wait a minute she got a little deeper; not should you have enough Holy Ghost to not lie, backbite, curse folks out when you get mad but you should have the restraint to refuse addictive non-Christian lifestyles of drugs and Alcohol. God said Put a difference between Holy and unholy. Jesus came to give you power

4. Fourthly Minister Turner told us that we should have a love for one another that is seen and shown. Jesus told his disciples; “a new commandment I give you that you love one another and by this all men will know that you are my disciples. that you love one another”

God told the

Be ready to forgive and reconcile...... Remember that Jesus forgave you of all of your mess.......and it’s a wonder that he had room enough to forgive me after your case (smile)

5. Now Fifth and final our covenant reads as such:

WE moreover engage that, when we remove form this place, we will as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.

Tell somebody the covenant goes on and on and on and on........

My commitment is like the every ready bunny. I don’t run out of my purpose in christ.

It doesn’t matter where I am geographically, emotionally , physically, financially,

I am purpose driven to be Jesus oriented.

I can’t help but witness to some one.

I cant help but live holy. Whether in a crowd or all by myself. It’s in me and it’s not my second nature but now that I am saved and Spirit filled it is my nature.

If I leave Little Rock I’m going to continue my commitment to God.

Because I made my commitment to Jesus first and then that led me to make one with Little Rock.

The pastor never has to be concerned about your commitment to the local church if you are commited to Jesus.

You will love right if you are commited to Christ

You will give right if you are commited to Christ

You will gave up your life style and negative habits if you are commited to Christ.

I go on and on and on and on.......

You got to get the zeal of the early New Testament Church...........even after being persecuted and fleeing from Jerusalem to part of Asia............... where ever they landed their next purpose was to witness Jesus.

LOOK AT OUR TEXT:
