Greeting Second Baptist Family,
Weekly Pastor’s Notes

(Worship, Submit & Connect) – “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Matt. 28:19 – (NKJV)
The disciples had seen Jesus crucified and raised from the dead, and they spent forty days with Him. Their journey completely changed them, and your journey should completely change you. “When they saw Him, they worshipped Him” (Matt 28:17). Your spiritual journey should change what is most important in your life. You can still enjoy the things (that you have obtained) and people (that you encounter), but those things and people should not be your focus in life.
Jesus said in Matt. 28:18, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” Christ is the authority, not us and after worship we should submit to Him and pursue His purposes. And pursuing His purpose means being obedient to His instructions. And Jesus tells each of us to go and connect with others from every nation, creed and culture. We are to let the world know the reality of serving the Only True and Living God.
Tell someone today about your own experience with God and how Jesus has changed your life. Be a witness for the Lord today.

This Sunday’s Scripture
Topic:“Godly Vision“
2 Kings 6:14-17 (NKJV)
14 Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
