Greeting Second Baptist Family,
Weekly Pastor’s Notes
Thought for the week: Sometimes the prize seems elusive, just out of reach. You shouldn’t be surprised. The more you grow in Christ, the more you realize how little you truly know Him. In Philippians 3:12-14, Paul outlined his strategy for taking hold of more and more of God in his life.
First, don’t expect to every truly reach the goal, Paul didn’t. Second, the more Christ takes hold of you, the more you’re captivated by His power and presence in your life and the more you’re motivated to pursue Him. Third, forget. Let the past, with its mistakes and failures, stay in the past. Don’t long for what you had yesterday because backward focus prevents forward motion.
Fourth, press on. The word translated “press on” means “to run swiftly in order to catch a person or thing.” Just as athletes approaching the finish line lean into the tape, you should exert every effort and lean into God.
This Sunday’s Scripture
Topic: Mercies Power
Lamentations 3: 21-23 (KJV)
21. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
