“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him”
—Job 13:15

As a continuation of this year’s theme, Walk In Truth, Pastor Terry L. Brown Sr. gave an encouraging word on today, titled “Yet.”

The book of Job often has us questioning why do good people go through bad things. Job lost everything-his livelihood, his children, and his health. Yet through it all, he continued to trust in and reverence God.

Yet. One profound word that can have a great impact on our outlook on life and response to challenges.

Job’s story is a testament of God’s faithfulness and sovereignty; God is the ONLY one who can do whatever He wills, whenever He wants to, in whatever manner He chooses.

The unexpected in life can and often will teach us dependence, patience, and trust in God only.

“Yet” gives us hope in the midst of what we are facing. Jesus is our “Yet”, our Hope! Jesus knows and understands what we go through and He promised to never leave us, nor forsake us.

So on today, be encouraged! Whatever your yet is that you are waiting on, continue to trust God, rejoice in Hope, and praise God!

“People who cannot control themselves are like cities without walls to protect them”-Proverbs 25:28(ERV-Easy to Read Version)

The conclusion of the “Check Your Fruit” series discussed one, if not the most challenging, Fruit of the Spirit of all—Self Control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Here are a few golden nuggets from today’s teaching:

* A lack of self-control will destroy your life.
* The four characteristics of self-control are Forgiveness, Humility, Prudence, and Self-Regulation(Discipline).
*The key to mastering self-control is giving God control!

We give God control by yielding to His Holy Spirit, and when we do this, a beautiful change happens: The Fruit of the Spirit grows in us and transforms us and those around us!

Pastor Terry L. Brown Sr. taught this series on the Fruit of the Spirit with Truth, Boldness, and Wisdom and we thank God for the shepherd that He has blessed our church with.

To tie everything together, Love is not only the first Fruit of the Spirit, but it is the foundation of all the others:

Love is who God is. (1 John 4:8)
Joy is love’s strength,
Peace is love’s security,
Long-suffering is love’s patience,
Meekness is love’s humility,
Goodness is love’s character,
Faithfulness is love’s confidence,
Gentleness is love’s conduct, and
Temperance (Self-Control) is love’s victory!

This week, let us all walk in the Spirit so that the world can see and feel the love of God!

We thank God for another day of His Love, Grace, and Mercy!
We thank God for a new day to assemble together to worship and praise Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Today’s Message was given by our very own Deacon Leneka Driver, who shared God’s Word with us and the wisdom that He has bestowed her with.

Titled, “Pressing into the presence of God”, she encouraged us to run to God and not away from Him when life’s pressures get heavy; to develop a greater relationship with the One who loves and knows us best (God), by spending intentional time with Him through studying His word and praying.

Using Exodus 33:12-15 as an anchor for the message, she explained how Moses didn’t want to go forward without the Lord’s presence to guide them. Moses and the Israelites circumstances are something we can learn from; we should also desire God’s presence to lead and be with us.

Trials and Tribulations are not the time to turn from God, but to draw closer to Him in a way like never before. It is a time to not only seek the hand of God (blessings) , but to seek His heart (presence).

God’s presence in our lives is what makes the difference. One of the promises that He gives is that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us (James 4:8 paraphrased).

Pressing into the presence of God was a timely word, one that we can apply to our lives, no matter our circumstances.

When life’s pressures try to squeeze you, remember that it is in the pressing that olives yield their oil, grapes yield their juice, and coal is transformed into diamonds!
