🙏🏾✨ RMZ Sunday Worship Service Recap ✨🙏🏾

Today at Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church, we were truly blessed by a powerful and heartfelt word from Pastor Reverend Jerry A. Johnson entitled:

🕊️ “Be Still” 🕊️

📖 Scripture Reference:
Psalm 37:7-9

Pastor Johnson reminded us that sometimes our biggest struggle is reacting too quickly instead of resting in God’s timing. In a world that constantly tells us to “get even,” God calls us to be still, trust Him, and wait patiently on His plan.

💬 Sermon Notes:
• “Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.”
• Don’t allow anger, jealousy, or frustration to consume your spirit.
• Every reaction does not require retaliation.
• Wrath and revenge pull us away from God’s purpose.
• God sees every wrong done against you — trust Him to handle it.
• Pray for those who hurt you instead of plotting against them.
• Sometimes being still is the greatest act of faith.
• God’s timing is always greater than our emotions.

🔥 Key Takeaways:
✅ Be patient with God’s process
✅ Don’t let temporary anger become lasting bitterness
✅ Trust God to fight your battles
✅ Love people with kindness, even when it’s difficult
✅ Stay faithful and let God handle the evildoers
✅ Your peace is more valuable than revenge

🙏🏾 Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us to be still and trust in You. Help us to release anger, frustration, and the desire for revenge. Teach us patience when life feels unfair and strengthen our faith to wait on Your timing. Fill our hearts with peace, mercy, and kindness so that we may reflect Your love even in difficult moments. Lord, guide our reactions, calm our spirits, and help us walk in obedience to Your Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙌🏾

🙌🏾🔥 RMZ Pentecost Sunday Worship Service Recap 🔥🙌🏾

Today at Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church, we were truly blessed by a powerful Word from our Pastor Jerry A. Johnson, titled:

✨ “Let Him Use You” ✨

Scripture Reference:
📖 Acts 2:14-21

On this Pentecost Sunday, we were reminded that God desires to pour His Spirit out on ALL flesh — sons, daughters, young, old, servants, and handmaids alike. The message encouraged us to stop doubting ourselves and allow God to use the gifts, testimony, voice, worship, and calling He has placed inside of us.

🕊️ Sermon Notes:
• Pentecost is the birthday of the Christian church.
• The Holy Spirit empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
• Your testimony is not just for you — it can help set somebody else free.
• God can use anybody, regardless of education, status, or background.
• We must stop holding back and allow God to move through us boldly.
• Sometimes the greatest ministry begins with a simple conversation, smile, or invitation.
• God pours His Spirit out on ALL flesh — not just pastors and preachers.

🔑 Key Points:
✅ “Let Him Use You.”
✅ Don’t hide your tears, testimony, worship, or praise.
✅ God can use what the world considers weak to confound the wise.
✅ Share the Gospel in ways people can understand.
✅ Stop waiting until you feel “qualified.” God already called you.
✅ Be willing to say: “Here I am Lord, use me.”

🙏🏾 Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that You can use each and every one of us for Your glory. Help us to surrender our fears, insecurities, and pride so that Your Spirit may work freely through us. Give us boldness to share Your love, compassion to reach others, and wisdom to walk in our calling. Let our worship, testimony, and daily lives point others toward You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. ❤️

⛪ Join us every Sunday morning at 11:30 AM for worship at RMZ Baptist Church — except 5th Sundays.
