Rev. Hank Hamilton

Hello. Are you – am I – are we becoming all that God wants us to be? Do we have a goal in mind in serving Him? Should not our goal be living with Him in heaven for all eternity? And just how do we propose to reach our goal? Not by gaining fortune & fame. Not by turning from evil and doing good works. To reach our goal of heavenly immortality; we must Be Still. “Be still, and know that I am God…” Psalm 46:10 “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him…” Psalm 37:7 … wait and listen for God to make known His will for us – in His love and wisdom, He provides us with guidance and instruction. By choosing to listen and obey, we can walk in His ways and experience His blessings. To experience God’s blessings, mercies and the grace of redemption, salvation and eternal life, there are 2 things we “Must Do”. Mark 12:28-34 “One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”   “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ [ “The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but Him. To love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” Bottom line, dear friends, is “Let everything you do be done in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14

Imagine being asked to step into the shoes of Moses and lead Israel into the Promised Land! In Joshua 1:1-9, we see this gargantuan task given to Joshua by God after Moses’ death. God gives Joshua three points of instruction to ensure he’ll be able to accomplish the job. God said: 1. Trust My promises. God promised that He would give all of the land of Canaan to Israel; that no one would overcome them; and the land would be all theirs. 2. Be strong and courageous. God told Joshua this three times. Following God (and His Son, Jesus) is never an easy role. It is hard to live for Christ in an ungodly world. It’s hard to stand for truth when others aren’t. It is hard to go in the right direction when the crowd is pressing towards the wrong way. 3. Listen to Me and meditate on My written words. Speak it, meditate on it, do it! God reminded Joshua that there is power in the Word of God. Do it our way, and fail. But do life His way and have victory! The next time you face an overwhelming circumstance in your life, whether it be in your marriage, at school, in your job, an addiction, a health crisis, or the death of a loved one, remember to: Trust His Promises Be strong and courageous. Speak and study God’s Word “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9b

Pastor Bubba Hoggatt

Kendall Kimball brought our special music this morning, a beautiful arrangement of “Say Amen”. Today was the next message in Bro. Bubba’s series in I Peter. Many of the saints were scattered because of persecution. Peter is reminding them of our eternal home that is kept by the power of God. This is our eternal inheritance. In the midst of difficulties, we should hold on to God’s promises. We are told to be holy as God is holy. We are told to love each other fervently with a pure love. How can we do that? The only way is to be incorruptible by being born again. We are all born corruptible. To be corruptible is to be subject to decay. When we accept Jesus as our savior, we are born again and made incorruptible. We will spend eternity with Him, 1 Peter 1:23. We cannot enter Heaven while we are corruptible. When Jesus comes to live in our heart, we can withstand temptations. We can have fellowship with God. There are only two ways we can live and leave this earth, corruptible or incorruptible. The Word of God endures forever, 1 Peter 1: 25. We can be sure of God’s promises no matter the trials and temptations of this life.

Wednesday Bible Study, November 15th, Isaiah Chapter 51:17-23.  V.22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: Obeying God is the basis of our lives. Worship Service, November 19th, Psalm Chapter 122.  V.6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. We are living under a godless government where so many have turned against Jerusalem and believe only in themselves and no longer believe in or follow God. In the early times, the towns were built around the church. The church was the center point. Jerusalem is the center point of the world. It is the center of God’s desire. We come to church seeking answers to the problems of our lives. If there is peace in God’s world, then there is peace everywhere. The question is not does God love us; it’s do we love God. Is God and the church the center of your life? Sunday Evening, November 19th, 2 Chronicles and 1 Timothy. The most important part of church is prayer. The very foundation is prayer. Prayer is our open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. Prayer is our expression of faith in God’s power, fueled by our desire for more of Him. Israel is being destroyed right now by war. America is being destroyed by the devil. Many, many people in America are supporting the evil of Hamas and the Palestinian who hate Israel and want the total destruction of the Jewish people. After a short service Sunday Evening, we gathered together in a “circle of prayer” to ask God for the protection of Israel, and for the American people and our government to turn away from their hatred of Israel and Christianity and turn back to Him. LMBC Upcoming Events:  Thanksgiving Dinner, Sunday after the morning service, November 26th. Caroling at Arbor Lake Nursing Home, Saturday, December 9th at 3pm. Adult Christmas party, Saturday December 16th, bring a $10 gift and join us for a fun filled evening of fellowship. Children’s Christmas program followed by their Christmas party. Each child should bring a $10 gift. Raffle tickets $5, for a beautiful, handmade quilt, drawing to be on January 7, 2024. (All proceeds to go to the church building fund). Our silent auction and chili meal which was held on Saturday, November 18th from 3pm-6pm was a great success. All monies raised will go to the church building fund. Come join Lakeview Missionary Baptist Church for all our upcoming events, but more importantly, come join us in worshipping Jesus Christ because at LMBC Jesus Christ is Lord of all!

Take heed for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Our words may not be understood by the multitude but God has promised to do certain things for those who love Him and keep His commandments. Jesus said, “if you do not forgive, my Father in Heaven will not forgive.” Unforgiveness is a cancer that will destroy. Please understand that the way is narrow that leads to life and few find it.

Pastors Richard and Mickie Hinkle

Pastor Richard Hinkle would like to invite you to Redeemed Center of Marion. We are located at the former Marion High School Gymnasium on 3062 Taylor Street in Marion. We meet each Sunday at 10:30 for praise and worship, as well as an uplifting Word that will inspire and encourage you to rediscover your purpose in life.. We are presently a small group with a big heart for hurting people who are battling some of the same things that we are. We’re a Spirit filled and Spirit led group of believers who have experienced the grace of God. Redeemed Center of Marion is not your typical church. Our ministry is designed to re-purpose broken lives. There are men and women who have struggled in their lives with addictions of all kinds (drugs, alcohol, etc…) who may not be accepted in the typical or traditional church setting. In fact, they may still be battling some of these issues. They may have had a past of incarceration, rehab, broken relationships, or just a bad reputation from being raised in a negative culture. They may not look the part of a clean cut polished Christian. Redeemed Center welcomes these individuals to come and worship with us and learn how to rediscover God’s love and purpose for your lives. You will not be judged, but you will be accepted, valued, and discipled. Pastor Richard

Associate Pastor Stephen Murry

Acts 10:1-48 “God loves the world, one person at a time” The story of Peter and Cornelius is the beginning of breaking down the barriers and sharing the Good News with the Gentiles. Cornelius was a man of courage, being a soldier, but was also described as a devout, God-fearing man with integrity, very moral and a generous giver. Even though he believed in the God of Abraham, and despite all these “good” traits, he did not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He needed to know who Jesus was. The best way for this to happen was for him to hear the “Good News”. For this to transpire, God had to prepare the hearts of both Cornelius and Peter. God sent an angel to Cornelius in a vision, giving him very specific instructions how to find Peter. God gave Peter a different vision. In Peter’s vision, he was instructed to eat “unclean” things. He knew the law of Moses forbade eating of certain unclean animals, yet here was God, telling him to partake of them. This represented the Gentile nations that still needed to hear about the saving grace of Jesus. Both men followed the instructions in their visions, as an act of obedience. Peter was summoned to Cornelius’ home, he told them about Jesus and the entire household was saved, then they were baptized. Peter was obedient to God’s call to share the gospel with the gentiles. As Christians, we need to be obedient to God’s call and the Spirit’s leading in our life to go out to share with all we come in contact. Sharing God’s love to one person at a time.
