Scripture;  Luke chapter 2: 41-52
Text:  Take a look at your progress with God and man

Sermon
**Jesus earthly parents made their annual trip to Jerusalem to attend the feast of the passover.
On their way back home they noticed that Jesus was not with them.When they could not find their twelve-year old son among the travelers they returned to Jerusalem and found him in the temple talking with the teachers. These type of encounters with teachers and elders enabled Jesus to increase in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
We see that Jesus was gathering knowledge that would enable him in later life to deal with all kind of situations,as he went forth carrying out the the mandate of God.
You will note that Jesus stayed focus on pleasing God.  His actions pleased some men but not all.  That is alright.  Work to please God and man can fall in line.  Some will and some won't. That is okay as long as you are doing what is right. Man will double cross you, so strive to please God and he will be with you through troubling  and good times.
So, in conclusion, examine how you are progressing with God and man. But be focused on pleasing God.
Amen.

Sermon & Scripture
Scripture: Acts 8th Chapter and Genesis 49:10
Subject: A scattered church and the gathering of the saints

Sermon
Today, Homecoming Day, for this church, we are celebrating in a different manner. No food, guest preacher, visiting preacher and church, and many other things we did be tradition or custom through the years. Be it that we are in different locations, we can still let people know about the goodness of God and salvation. God has made a way for us to come together through electronic means.
Although we are scattered today in different places we can still worship together and share God's Word. In the scripture, the messengers were scattered throughout the region after persecution against the church occurred. In chapter 8, verse 4 the scattered men went everywhere preaching the Word. They did not let the conflict stop them. Philip was outstanding.* *
Today, we are hindered somewhat by Cov-19, but it cannot stop us. God has made it possible for his Word to still be delivered and the unsaved to be saved.
Though we are scattered, the day will come when the scattered saints of God's church will be gathered and brought home. So let us go forth lifting up God's name, even Cov-19 cannot stop us from doing that. Show love and be good and encouraging and helpful to each other and remember that God is still good and merciful to us. This Cov-19 will come to an end. 
**In verse 12, Philip went down to Samaria and preached the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, and both men and women were baptized.
Amen.

Onward with the Preach Word: Rev Stan Bradby delivers message on surviving thru the C-VD-19 Crisis

Article 1  Volume 10                                                           July 6, 2020               
 Date of Event: July 5, 2020                                      Place: Warner Baptist Church 
                                                       
                                                           An Anchor of Faith

Rev Stanley Bradby delivered a timely message, through Zoom, on surviving thru the current crisis we are experiencing.

I'll present  my recap of the service:

Scripture: Psalm 27:1-3 (The Lord is my light and salvation -whom shall I fear...)
Text:   An Anchor of Faith

Sermon

In times like these, some people can manage better than others. Many are not prepared for this crisis. They have put their faith in men, women, money, and worldly possessions.   However, we must know that God is the answer. God has all power.  Consider how he opened the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross over to dry land and the many other miracles that he performed in the Bible.
We need to know that God has a plan to deliver us through this crisis. We must be steadfast and trust God.  We must be or get anchored in the Lord.  If you do that then everything is going to be alright.
People often ignore signs and do foolish things, like not wearing face masks, congregating too close, not washing hands, and not adhering to other advised safety precautions. It is better to do the right thing than try to explain why you did the wrong thing.
These are tough times but we must still show passion and love for one another. It is not hard. Just do it and you may be surprised at the blessings that come your way.
In closing, if you have Jesus, then you have somebody who can carry you through. Just believe and be anchored in the Lord. Are you anchored?
(I recommend that you read Psalm 27 in its entirety. You can do that on your phone through Google.)
(The message was augmented slightly for presentation purposes. )
