93rd Anniversary of Warner Baptist Celebration - 2nd Day
The guest preacher tonight was Reverend Martin T. Pickett pastor of First Baptist, Merrifield, VA
He used 2 Corinthians 12: 1-9 for scripture
Rev. Pickett sermon was based on three points:
1. Revelation - Emphasis was put on how God reveals things to us that is beyond our comprehension. But there is a reason and purpose behind it. We should enjoy life now. Yesterday is gone and we don't know about tomorrow. So, enjoy today.
2. Expectation - Expect good things but remember that there may be some thorns you have to cope with. They just don't go away. (Making reference to Paul's ordeal in the New Testament).Still, you have to work through them and press on. None of us are exempt from trouble in our lives.
3. Exhortation - Despite the pain and barriers we encounter, He encourages us to keep moving forward. Sometimes it may seem like you are stuck, but the things you be doing can be preparing you for even a greater mission. Pain or no pain, keep stay focus on moving forward and working for the Lord. Amen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sermon was delivered with authority, and that was evident by the congregation open expressions of thanks.
Rev. Pickett said that he hasn't preached on a Monday night in a long time. But he made an exception tonight.
Well, maybe, Warner Baptist will invite him back for another Monday night sermon. I mean, that might be his best night.
