6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!
10 Am I now seeking human approval or God’s approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1: 6-10 NRSV

The calling to serve Christ comes with great responsibility, and in the world we live in today, this responsibility is even greater. Ask yourself the question Paul poses to the church in Galatia; are you hearing and adhering to a gospel that is contrary to the Scripture? This is no time for the faithful in Christ to lose heart, to deviate from His teaching or to crumble in fear! We who believe must no longer seek human approval, but rather to live intentionally seeking God's approval. You cannot seek to please people while serving Christ. Let the world hate you for your faith, for then you will be walking the path that Jesus walked. As the world turns against Jesus, we must run to Him in faith and prayerful service. There is no other gospel, only Jesus.

The solution to the evil that is consuming America isn't politicians, it isn't new laws and regulations. It's prayer.

Psalm 12
Plea for Help in Evil Times
To the leader: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 Help, O Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly;
the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2 They utter lies to each other;
with flattering lips and a deceitful heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
the tongue that makes great boasts,
4 those who say, “With our tongues we will prevail;
our lips are our own—who is our master?”
5 “Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
I will now rise up,” says the Lord;
“I will place them in the safety for which they long.”
6 The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,
silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will protect us;
you will guard us from this generation forever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among humankind.

The Christian Church needs to return to prayer.
The Christian Church needs to return to Christ.

Decide today to return to prayer. Pray for revival. Pray for the lost. Pray for all who deny Jesus and hate the God we worship, pray that their hearts may be changed from hate to love. Pray that the spirit of America awakens to the reality that we are now only one generation away from losing what God has given.

Good morning MBC family and friends! Our worship service this morning will be a service of Baptism and we will be on the shores of Dividing Creek. As a result, we will not have a YouTube video today, but please feel free to go to www.moratticobaptistchurch.org and click on Live, then scroll down and click on Morattico Baptist-You Tube. This will take you to our library of prior video services from which to choose.

Also, you may listen to this mornings message on 101.7 Bay FM at 10:30 am where we broadcast a pre-recorded message.

We will be back to Live broadcast next week. Thank you and have a blessed day.

Good Sunday morning, Friends!

"Today is a day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"
Each day is a gift and the world we live in works overtime to steal our joy. But we have a Savior that wants us to know Him and to find joy in every single moment of every day!

This morning we will build our message of God's love for you on the Creation story. It is a thought provoking idea, that God's love for mankind began with the Creation, but Old and New Testament Scripture verifies it.

Join us today at 10 am as we delve into the Creation story, Psalm 71 and John 3. It's a good day to go to church! The rain is moving out and God loves you!

Blessings and Peace!

Good Sunday morning friends! What a beautiful morning God has given us! As I came into the church parking lot this morning, I was reminded of those many months of Covid that we held worship under the oak trees. So many Saturday nights it would rain, and Sunday morning would be beautiful. We moved chairs, set up tables, powered up the band and off we would go. I don't remember missing a single Sunday due to weather. When God's Holy Spirit moves you to serve Him, you have no choice but to serve!
This morning we will study the power of the Holy Spirit in the early Church and how the Spirit is at work in the Church and world today. God hasn't given up on us, despite the evil at work today. Join us at 10 am for worship and song in praise of our amazing God! Today is a day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Blessings and Peace to you!
