Scripture:  Psalm 91: 1-4 ( Read it in your Bible)

Text:  Living by faith and trust in God

Sermon: Reverend Stanley Bradby

 The gist of the sermon:

Rev. Bradby highlighted the works of the civil rights workers and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the '50s and '60s.  They lived by faith and trust in God as they marched, sit in, and demanded, in a peaceful manner that the Afro-Americans ( we were called Negros back then) be given their civil rights in the United States. Many of them were willing to die for the cause, and some did. In their quest for freedom, they sang a lot of Christian songs for inspiration.   

 In our demand for rights today we must continue to press on and know that God will never leave us.  He is faithful to his word and promises.  To know Jesus is to trust Jesus.  We must not grow weary in our quest, because God hears our cry.  We serve an on-time God.  

Let us continue to trust in God, worship and believe in Him, and be obedient to the teaching of Jesus and everything will be all right at the end of the day.  Remember Joy comes in the morning

  Conclusion

It was a good inspirational message.  So, as we celebrate Dr. King's birthday and works let us not forget that there have been a lot of people involved in this quest for equal rights.  But let us continue to pray and trust in God and live a life that is pleasing in his sight. Remember, there is still a lot we can do. Are you willing to sacrifice for the betterment of life on earth?
