“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24

SBC August 2019

“A. J. Casteel Memorial Offering”

A. J. Casteel was a member of Sullivan Baptist Church and

a long-time Church Assignment Coordinator for the

Kingsport West Camp of The Gideons International. Both

our August Wednesday night missions offerings and a

special offering to be received on August 4th

during our

Gideon emphasis will be designated to The Gideons

International for the placement of Bibles around the world.

Please prayerfully consider this giving opportunity!


From Preacher Jeff... Study Psalm 27:1-6 from The Word of God. Gather a small group of believers and share truth together. Use the outline and notes below from a previous message (6:00 pm November 26, 2017) to spur conversation. Encourage one another! Start a small group today!

6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies

round about me: therefore, will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. Psalm 27:6

“KEEPING A HEAD UP OVER THE ENEMY”

“Fear is the next door neighbor to faith. Faith and fear very often fight each other for mastery of the soul.” ---Dr. John

Phillips

I. Remember “WHO” God Is v1 David knows by personal experience “who” God is! David had personally seen God at work over the years in many trying and testy situations.

A. God Shines-“The LORD is my light…” B. God Saves-“…and my salvation” C. God Strengthens- “…the Lord is the strength of my life”

II. Be Confident in God’s Proven Power vv2-3 Through it all, David’s enemies had not been able to harm him! How many times can you remember God’s unfailing grace and goodness?! List examples of His proven power in your life. III. Focus On Intimacy with God v4

A. Know Him in Closeness “…dwell in the house of the Lord”

David was a “man after God’s own heart”! He had a passion for worship! Through worship…we get close to God! David was not a priest. He could NOT enter the holy of holies; however, that was the desire of his heart! He wanted to be there every day! In Psalm 23:6 David says, “And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever!” If you want to dwell there in eternity, then you should want to dwell there here on earth.

B. Know Him in Character “…behold the beauty of the Lord” C. Know Him in Covenant “…to inquire in his temple”

IV. Trust in God’s Plan of Protection v5a Where do you run in the time of trouble? To whom do you run? Rest in the secret hiding places of God. Hide in the dwelling place of God. Do not rely upon your own plans. David wanted the Lord to hide him and to help him! V. Stand Upon the Rock vv5b-6 “He shall set me up upon a rock.” The Rock is Jesus!

A. The Rock Will Lift You Up B. The Rock Will Change Your View C. The Rock Will Increase Your Faith

The Psalmist stops pouting and begins shouting! D. The Rock Will Release Your Joy

Songs of praise confuse the enemy and silence the critics! God loves you, and I love you!

Dear Church Family,

Exciting things are happening in the

Worship Ministry at SBC. We have many

opportunities for you to serve and now is a

great time to join if you are not already a

part of these ministries. Our Celebration

Choir that meets at 4:45 on Sundays is

always looking for people who love to sing

about Jesus. It’s open to anyone ages Student Ministry

through Senior Adult. There is no requirement to read music.

We are also always looking for people to expand our

Celebration Orchestra, which meets on Wednesdays at 6:00

in the Worship Center. If you have had at least 3 years of

experience playing an instrument, we would love to have

you. Contact me (423-349-6288) if you are interested in

being part of this group.

If you don’t sing or play an instrument, there is still a

ministry you can be a part of---Unspoken Praise is our

Signing Choir led by Lesia Owens. There is no signing

experience necessary to be a part of this group, which meets

in the Choir Suite on Wednesdays at 6:00. They will resume

practicing on August 14th

.

K.I.C.K. (Kids in Christ’s Kingdom), our Children’s

Choir, is open to ages Kindergarten – 5th

grade. They leave

the 6:00 Worship on Sunday nights during the Time of

Fellowship and rehearse in the Choir Suite. They will resume

practice on August 11th

. Our Student Worship Team, More

Than Motions, is open to students ages 6th

– 12th

grade, and

they meet in the Chapel on Sundays at 4:45.

We would love to have you come out and be a part of

these groups that help lead our worship. You are welcome to

visit to see what they are all about. Pray that the Lord would

lead you to a place to serve in our worship ministries here at

SBC. Feel free to call me (423-349-6288, ext. 33) or email

([email protected]) if you have questions.

God Bless,

Bro. Andy
