Today's sermon was titled "Descent into Darkness". It was based on 1 Samuel 28:5-8 and 2 Timothy 3:1-5 with other supporting scriptures. Saul had disobeyed God, and the Spirit of God had left him. The Prophet, Samuel tried while he was living to get Saul to obey God. When Saul was afraid, he called upon the LORD. The LORD did not answer him. Saul decided to go to a woman that had a familiar spirit to bring Samuel back from the dead. God used this moment to allow them to see Samuel. This was through the power of God to show Saul that the next day he and his sons would die.

Saul wanted to do things his way. Saul should have been obedient to God. God knows that we are not perfect. We mess up sometimes. Saul should have repented and confessed his sin to God, but he didn't. We need to be patient and wait upon the LORD. We should always seek God first and whatever situation that we are in. We should not depend on soothsayers, wizards, people with familiar spirits, fortune tellers, or other entities to prophecy for us, or to bring up the dead. We should depend on God in all that we go through in this life. If we live according to God's will and purpose, we will be able to see those saints that have gone on to glory, and we will have a glorified body and see Jesus face to face.

Today's sermon was titled "Spiritual Blindness". It was based on Zephaniah 1:14-17, John 9:1-41 and other supporting scriptures. I also mentioned F***y Crosby and Helen Keller and their works for the good of humanity. John 9:1-41 tells the story of a blind man from birth and how he was healed by Jesus on the Sabbath. The Pharisees and the Jewish leaders felt that Jesus was defaming the sabbath day. They followed the Mosaic laws strictly. They were spiritually blinded. Jesus did the will of his Father which is in heaven, by healing and helping people even on the sabbath day. The blind man came to believe in Jesus as the Christ. The Israelites were spiritually blinded when they tried to strictly follow the law and failed to believe in Jesus Christ and Christianity. The Gentiles were spiritually blinded at the beginning of time but came to be grafted into salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ. Then, their eyes were opened to understanding the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must stand on the promises of God. We must imitate Christ in all that we do. We must not judge anyone. We all have to give an account for what we have done in our bodies, whether good, or bad. We pray that when God calls us home, that he has a place for us eternal in heaven, not made with human hands.

Today's sermon was titled "From the Pit to the Palace". It was based on Genesis 45:4-7 and 1 John 1:8-10 with other supporting scriptures. Jacob loved Joseph, his favorite son of his old age. He made him a coat of many colors. Joseph was able to dream and interpret dreams. He made his siblings mad at him. They wanted to kill him but did place him in a pit. He was sold for 20 pieces of silver and brought to Egypt where he worked for Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh. Potiphar's wife tried to get Joseph to lie down with her. Joseph was arrested and placed in prison. The Lord was with Joseph in all that he went through. When his brothers came to Egypt to get food, they didn't recognize Joseph. He had an Egyptian name and wore fine linen clothes. He told his brothers who he was. They were (FRETFUL). They felt that Joseph wants to pay them back for what they did to him. Joseph (FORGAVE) them for what they did to him. He stated that it was God who sent him to Egypt to save many lives. Joseph became second in command in all of Egypt under Pharoah. Pharoah trusted Joseph because Joseph was able to interpret his dreams and Pharoah knew that Joseph was following the true and living God. Joseph was able to provide (FOOD) and anything that his family needed during the seven years of famine. Joseph was able to reconcile with his brothers and reunite with his father Israel. We should always ask God to be with us in any situation that we feel we can't handle. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Just like Joseph, we can go from the pit to the palace if we have faith and take God at His Word.

Today's sermon was titled "Power of the Gospel". It was based on Genesis 50:15-20 and Philemon 1-3, 8-11. This was one of Paul's prison epistles. Paul was in a Roman prison. Philemon is a well-to-do- Christian from Colosse who owns slaves. One of these slaves, Onesimus, steals some of his master's property and runs away to Rome. While in Rome, Onesimus becomes a believer after hearing the gospel from Paul. (Paul had also been instrumental in leading Philemon to saving faith in Christ. It was lawful for a slave to be killed once he/she was captured. Paul looked at Onesimus as a profitable man to him and to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul spoke of Onesimus as a co laborer for Christ, and not as a slave. He spoke highly of Onesimus to continue working for Christ. Paul spoke with love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, and reconciliation for Onesimus. None of us are perfect, but we should strive to be perfect by imitating Christ in our Christian journey. We must continue to let our light shine in the darkness of this world.

Today's sermon was titled "Wash and Be Clean". It was based on 2 Kings 5:1-3 and John 13:3-6 with other supporting scriptures and a little demonstration about sin. Naaman, a captain of the Syrian king had leprosy. Israel and Syria had been in constant battles with each other. An Israelite maid that was in captivity in Syria waited on Naaman's wife and suggested to her that Naaman should go see the prophet in Samaria to recover from the leprosy. Elisha, the prophet asked Naaman to dip in the Jordan river seven times to be healed. Naaman was reluctant to do that. His servants came and told him to do what Elisha asked him to do. He then dipped in the Jordan river seven times and was healed of leprosy. He realized that the God of Israel is the only true and living God. He tried to offer silver, gold and changes of raiment to Elisha. Elisha refused to accept anything. Gehazi, the servant of Elisha lied to Naaman and Elisha. Gehaz took two talents of silver in two bags with two changes of garments. The leprosy that Naaman had was now placed on Gehazi and his seed forever. Nothing can wash away our sins but the blood of Jesus. Once we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour with a repentant heart we can be changed from the inside to the outside, realizing that sin has no more dominion over us. Jesus Christ paid the price for our salvation.

Today's sermon was titled "Rooted and Grounded in the Word". It was based on Psalm 1:1-4 and Luke 8: 5-9 being the primary scripture, with other supporting scriptures. In the eighth chapter of Luke, Jesus spoke a parable about a Sower who went out to sow seed. As he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. Some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. Some fell among thorns: and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up and bare fruit an hundredfold. Jesus told his disciples that the seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Today's sermon was titled "The Just Shall Live by Faith". It was based on Habakkuk 2:1-4 and Hebrews 10:36-39 with other supporting scriptures. The prophet, Habakkuk complains to the Lord about the Israelites being in the midst of people that were full of strife and contention. The Lord answers that he will work a work in his days, which he would not believe. The Lord said that he would raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. Habakkuk complains again to the Lord God. The Lord answers Habakkuk by saying "The Just Shall Live by Faith" The Lord in a vision had Habakkuk to write that five Woe's or judgments would come upon those that did not live according to God's will and commandments. We must realize that we will have storms, trials, tribulations, and other things that go wrong in our lives. We must stay strong in our faith, by trusting God and standing on God promises. God still sits high and is concerned about us. God is not going to continually allow all of the evil in this world to continue. We must stay strong in the Lord, by staying in the Word of God, praying without Ceasing, and imitating Christ in our Christian journey. We may not get our just rewards now, but we will receive those rewards in God's time. If we don't know the Lord, we need to know the Lord in the pardon of our sins. Today is the day of Salvation. Tomorrow is not promised.

Today's sermon was titled "Family Problems". It was based on Numbers 12:1-2 and Matthew 10:34-37 with other supporting scriptures. All families are not perfect. Every family has had or will have some disagreement, criticism, or misunderstanding. We thank God for those families that sought God to work out their problems and was restored back to God.

Miriam and Aaron complained about their brother Moses marrying an Ethiopian woman. Then, they asked if the Lord only spoke to Moses and not to them. The Lord heard them criticizing Moses. Moses was a meek and humble man, who had an intimate relationship with the Lord God. Moses spoke to the Lord mouth to mouth. Moses was also faithful. Miriam was a Prophetess, and Aaron, the High Priest, was also a Prophet. The Lord's anger was kindled against Miriam, probably because she may have been the instigator. Her face was white as snow as she became leprous. She was removed from the camp for seven days. Aaron confessed that he and Miriam had sinned. He asked Moses to not let Miriam be as one dead. Moses cried to the Lord to ask for healing for Miriam. After seven days, she was healed and the Israelites were able to continue their journey in the wilderness.

Yesterday's sermon was titled "Not too High to Bow Down". It was based on Exodus 20:12 and Luke 8:40-42 with other supporting scriptures. Jairus was a ruler of the synagogue, who was a leader in the church who had power and prestige. He did not think he was such a big shot, that he couldn't ask for help for his dying 12-year-old daughter. He fell down at Jesus' feet asking him to come to his house. Jesus left Jairus and in the midst of the multitude, a woman who had an issue of blood looked to find Jesus. The woman with the issue of blood was able to touch the hem of Jesus' border and was immediately healed. While this was going on, a messenger told Jairus that his daughter was dead. Peter, James, John, the mother, the father and Jesus went to the room of Jairus' daughter. Jesus said she wasn't dead but sleeping. The others cried and laughed at Jesus. Jesus told her to arise, and her spirit returned back to her body, and Jesus told them to give her meat to eat.

No matter what title, rank, or position we have in this life, we will have to ask for help sometimes. Jairus humbled himself and eventually had the faith to believe that his daughter would be healed. Matthew 23:12 "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." We should never get so high and mighty that we cannot bow down to have a little talk with Jesus. God is still in the healing business, if we only believe and have faith.

We thank God for Minister Eric Loerch and his fiancé, Sammy Morrison for helping us to celebrate our 192-year church anniversary/homecoming. We were so blessed to see former members and a large number of children. We are thankful for former members that spoke about their experiences while attending Beech Grove United Methodist Church at a young age. Our members did a great job preparing the church and providing food, ensuring that everyone's needs were met. We thank the businesses and organizations that provided gift cards, food vouchers and donated items to help us during this grand event. God really blessed Beech Grove United Methodist Church on this day. We pray that we have many more celebrations like this until God calls us home.
