Announcement Release - Convocation '14

CONVOCATION ‘14: In observance of its 24th year, The Mission Baptist Consortium of Churches is pleased to host CONVOCATION '14. With the theme "Come Before Winter," this year's meeting will take place on Sunday, December 14, 2014 thru Wednesday, December 17, 2014 nightly @ 7:00 pm at The Mission Baptist Church on Hay & East Streets.

Our vision is to deepen the faith of God’s people through the consistent teaching of His Word, and to widen our outreach to new people who have yet to receive a compelling witness of Jesus. Here are the directions we hope to go in the New Year that is before us…. deeper and wider! As members of The Mission Baptist Consortium of Churches, we are being encouraged to pursue both directions – deeper in the things of God, and reaching out wider to embrace those who are in need of loving care and compassion.

Convocation '14 will feature an outstanding line-up of good Bible Preachers, choirs, soloists along with artist groups from our body. We’ll also will hear reports from other witnesses laboring in the service of the Lord

As is customary, a great blessing will await you. Plan to be present each night, and invite a friend!

Hebrews 1:1-4,6

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”


O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!

Come and behold Him, born the King of angels!

O Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ The Lord


O Come Let Us Adore Him – Luther Vandross

A RETROSPECTIVE VIEW OF
THE FIRST INDEPENDENCE SERMON:

In an Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service sponsored by The Bahamas Christian Council on the celebration of the Independence of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, the Bahamian people were able to experience the liberating and transforming presence and power of God in their aspirations to become free. This service was held at Clifford Park in Nassau, N. P., Bahamas at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 8, 1973.

The scorching Sunday morning sun beat down on the thousands who attended the great gathering. Prince Charles; Governor, Sir John Paul and Lady Paul; Governor-General designate, Sir Milo Butler and Lady Butler; Prime Minister Lynden O. Pindling and Mrs. Pindling; members of the Bahamas Christian Council and the national choir were seated on the platform facing the newly-erected, flag-decked pavilion where visiting dignitaries, guests and other members of Government sat. Bahamians from all corners of The Commonwealth, along with visitors from around the world, constituted the audience.

Alas, providence had it that the speaker for the occasion would be none other than one of the pivotal fighters for liberation and human rights in the person of the late Dr. R. E. Cooper Sr. At that time, he was serving in dual capacities as president of The Bahamas Christian Council, and The Bahamas National Baptist Convention.

Dr. Cooper, taking his text from the Epistle of Peter, chapter two and verse nine declared that God wanted us to become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and a peculiar people. Dr. Cooper's Sermon "embodies the effectiveness of the power of preaching that grips the soul and which transforms the personality to help a people to liberate themselves from a dominant colonial power to live out a sense of independence."

As the preacher of the Independence Sermon, Dr. Cooper brought much experience to the platform for the prophetic hour at hand. He knew that preaching was a vital concern as far as man was concerned and, of course, the Bible was his handbook.

The Independence Sermon is fully dependent upon the inspiration and authoritativeness of the Bible as the Word of God. In a profound manner, Dr. Cooper knew that the Bible contains the revelation of God’s Will for a budding nation; that it contains instructions which alone furnish the basis of wise and worthy conduct both for individuals and nations, and that all men should avail themselves of every possible opportunity to acquaint themselves with its teachings. It reminded citizens and residents that that all Christians should be faithful and even aggressive in their efforts to teach its truth.
