Baggetts Chapel holds first service in new building







BAGGETTS CHAPEL IN CUNNINGHAM HAD OUR FIRST SERVICE AND OPEN HOUSE IN OUR NEW 6,000 SQ. FT. BUILDING,




Sunday August 12th.

This was phase one of their building program. Phase two will include a 5000 sq. ft. sanctuary (the slab is already in place for this). Phase three will be a 5,000 sq. ft. gym (this is just in the site plan of the building program and will be built as God directs)..

Wing of Faith from Murfreesboro was with us and recorded a live CD. God blessed us with 175 in attendance for morning worship with another 89 coming in from area churches for our open house at 12:30.

The key word here is OPEN.
Open house – Everyone is Welcome in this place.
We extend to Open arms – We care about people and their needs
Open minds – we don’t have an agenda - God rules –
This is an act of faith
We have plans but our plans are OPEN to change as God leads.

Open Vision – The future is as bright as the SON as God open doors we are going follow.

Serving God is an adventure. Have you notice that He is as concerned about the journey as He is the destination. It is on the trip that He makes us into what he wants us to be.
You will notice from the pictures, we are not done yet. We are going forward as God permits. A wise steward doesn’t over extend. But, faith isn’t faith if everything you need is in our hand.
We are trusting God and moving forward with Him.

What do you see!!

Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
The harvest is white, we are praying for new ministries and workers.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care...

On my way to a resurrection

Someone asked, "Are you on your way to another funeral?"  My answer was, "No, I am on my way to a resurrection."  Tonight, after having preached my sister's funeral, two church members funerals and visiting a friend whose brother had passed away, I had a little quiet time in my home office.  As I often do, I reach for an old book  I've found that some books written long ago can speak to my heart.  This time, it was a book published in 1946.  This passage from J.B. Chapman touched my heart, hope it does yours too.  Victor Hugo exclaimed, "The frosts of seventy winters are on my head, but the springtime of eternal youth is in my heart." "Sometimes we look at the gray hair of a ripening saint, and say, "Old man, the frosts of many winters are on your head."  But he answers, "That is not frost.  I am getting ready to wear the crown of life, and my hair is taking on tint agreeable to the color scheme."   We say, "Ol...
