Hillcrest Missionary Baptist Church

Hillcrest Missionary Baptist Church "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13

We are a non-program, spirit led body that desires to worship Jesus Christ in Spirit and in Truth. Our mission here at Hillcrest Missionary Baptist Church, is to reach out to our community and to show the world the love of Christ. We believe that our purpose is to win souls and influence people for Jesus Christ (Matthew 28: 16 -20). Therefore, we are burdened to spread to Gospel and share the gift

of everlasting life to the world in which we live! If you share this burden and are looking for a body where you can make a difference and worship freely, we encourage you to come and worship with us. We are located near the Riverdale / Carter community here in Knoxville Tennessee, just off of Strawberry Plains Pike.

Come out from among them, and be ye separate
2 Cor. 6:17

With all the world in his choice, God placed His ancient people in a very remarkable situation. On the north they were walled in by the snowy ranges of Lebanon: a barren desert formed their eastern boundary; far to the south stretched a sterile region, called the howling wilderness; while the sea—not then, as now, the highway of the nations, facilitating rather than impeding in*******se lay on their west, breaking on a shore that had few harbors and no navigable rivers to invite the steps of commerce.
May we not find a great truth in the very position in which God placed His chosen people? It certainly teaches us that to be holy, or sanctified, we must be a separate people—living in the world, but not of it—as oil, that may be mixed, but cannot be combined with water.

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

Have thy tools ready; God will find thee work.

Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship
Matt. 14:22

Jesus constrained them to go! One would think that if ever there was the certain promise of success in a mission, it was here. Surely, here, if anywhere, a triumphant issue might have been confidently predicted; and yet here, more than anywhere, there was seeming failure. He sent them out on a voyage, and they met such a storm as they had never yet experienced.
Let me ponder this, for it has been so with me, too. I have sometimes felt myself impelled to act by an influence which seemed above me—constrained to put to sea. The belief that I was constrained gave me confidence, and I was sure of a calm voyage. But the result was outward failure. The calm became a storm; the sea raged, the winds roared, the ship tossed in the midst of the waves, and my enterprise was wrecked ere it could reach the land.
Was, then, my divine command a delusion?
Nay; nor yet was my mission a failure. He did send me on that voyage, but He did not send me for my purpose. He had one end and I had another. My end was the outward calm; His was my meeting with the storm. My end was to gain the harbor of a material rest; His was to teach me there is a rest even on the open sea.

Well done, good and faithful servant … Thou wicked and slothful servant
Matt. 25:21, 26

God holds us responsible not for what we have, but for what we might have; not for what we are, but for what we might be.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee
Ps 55:22

He that taketh his own cares upon himself loads himself with an uneasy burden. The fear of what may come, expectation of what will come, desire of what will not come, and the inability to redress all these, must needs bring him continual torment. I will cast my cares upon God. He hath bidden me. They cannot hurt Him: He can redress them.

Thou shall never wash my feet
John 13:8

Whatever hinders us from receiving a blessing that God is willing to bestow upon us is not humility, but the mockery of it. A genuine humility will ever feel the need of the largest measures of grace, and will be perfected just in the degree in which that grace is bestowed. The truly humble man will seek to be filled with all the fullness of God, knowing that when so filled there is not the slightest place for pride or for self.

As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ
Gal. 3:27

Not simply the righteousness of our Saviour, not simply the beauty of His holiness or the graces of His character, are we to put on as a garment. The Lord Himself is our vesture. Every Christian is not only a Christ-bearer but a Christ-wearer. We are so to enter into Him by communion, to be so endued with His presence and embued with His Spirit that men shall see Him when they behold us, as they see our garments when they look upon our bodies.

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord … I know that … whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day
John 11:21, 22, 23,

Beware, in your prayer, above everything, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things, above all that we ask or think. Each time you intercede, be quiet first and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, of how He delights to hear Christ, of your place in Christ; and expect great things.

A certain man … who never had walked … heard Paul speak: who … perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said … Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked
Acts 14:8, 9, 10

Where true faith is, it will induce obedience; and where it does induce obedience, it will always, in one form or another, bring a blessing.
