Calhoun Baptist Church News July 22, 2012~
Our Brother Terry Barrow welcomed the Congregation this morning and reported coming events to look forward to and experience Gods love with fellow Christians. The 5th. Sunday is this coming Sunday and we are the Host for the Singspiration, we would like to invite everyone to come to Calhoun Baptist for an evening of fellowship and worship in singing praises to God!
We continue to seek God’s guidance in spreading the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Our church family is working toward having another successful ministry this year at the Calhoun Colt Show. More about this event will be reported latter. In the meantime bring water to share with others as we express Gods love for each one of us through His son Jesus!
Our Minister for the day was Brother Tom Buttram and his wife Shirley. He taught us with words and actions about the Resurrection. He requested that the children be included in the adults services and not go to Children Church, but stay and help him because he had a job for them to do.
He wanted everyone to know about the second coming of Jesus and how it will be for those still living and those who have already died in Christ, those who denied Him and those who did not have a chance to choose one way or the other.
He chose the verses in John chapter 11: 21- 27, this is about the death of Lazarus and his resurrection by Jesus. This was to glorify Jesus the son of God.
Then Brother Tom chose these key scriptures in Daniel Ch. 12: 1-3
Daniel 12:1-3 (NIV)
12 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book —will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise[a] will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
Revelations 20: 5-7~(NIV)
5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
These scriptures show us how we can be resurrected to everlasting life when we choose to follow Jesus NOW! Christ can make us altogether different kinds of people. We must believe that. “Old things have passed away . . . all things have become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17. God can give us the power to live this Christian life through the Holy Spirit.
God is truly with us!
