Psalm 51 (ESV) 1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. 2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! 3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. 5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. 9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 11Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. 13Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. 14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. 15O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 18Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; 19then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Romans 8:28-34 (ESV)

LEADER 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

CONGREGATION 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Global

Today we will pray for Mongolia.

Population: 2,701,117

1.72% Christian

1.2% Evangelical

35.30% Buddhist

80% People Groups Unreached

The Christian workforce has a significant role to play. Missionaries are now shifting from evangelism and discipleship to helping train and serve the Mongolian church to rightly assume those roles. Pray for unity among the various Christian services. Their willingness to learn and adapt to Mongolian culture is crucial as they build trust and relationships among the people of Mongolia. Pray that openness in Mongolia continues so the Christian ministries may continue to bring God glory.

We will also pray for Lanier Baptist Church

and their pastor, Mike Ferguson.

Offering

“It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). One of the greatest joys for Christians is being able to give cheerfully, generously, and sacrificially. There is tremendous satisfaction that comes from seeing the fruits of our labor multiplied many times over in the lives of others. Money is a powerful thing, and when we use it well, it has potential to do incredible good. We hope that we’re able to excel in the grace of giving. And so having been found faithful with little, God will be pleased to entrust us with more.

Abuse Awareness Training - Make-up Session

For those who were unable to attend the August 11th training, we will provide a make-up opportunity on Sunday, September 8th. This training is for anyone that works with babies through high schoolers. Our staff has been working diligently since October to improve our safety policies and procedures. It is essential that we all know these new policies and procedures. We are thankful for all of our volunteers who serve our children and families. Our desire is to do our best to protect both child and volunteer. Go grab your lunch and join us in the Fellowship Hall at 12:30pm. Childcare will be provided. See Bro. Travis McNeely or Lyn Bailey if you have any questions.

Life Groups

We have many ministries that serve to help you in your sanctification as you follow Christ. One aspect of sanctification often overlooked is accountability from brothers and sisters. Life Groups, beginning Sunday, Sept. 8, are small groups of the same gender that exist to hold you accountable in your corporate worship engagement, daily bible reading, evangelistic witness, and pursuit of holiness. Sign up to be in a Life Group by visiting wbcbr.org/ministries/discipleship and scrolling to the bottom of the page. Pastor Laramie will connect you with one of our Life Group

leaders.

Converge

Students 7th—12th grades meet every Wednesday evening at 6:15pm in the Upper Room. Come join us as we walk through 1 Corinthians and learn more about God’s grace for the church and the need for us to be unified in Christ.

Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC)

Do you want a better grasp on God’s Word so that you are able to know it and apply it better? In the Spring of 2020, Woodlawn Baptist Church will be partnering with a number of local churches to provide counseling and discipleship training. This training time will be designed to equip people to be better handlers of God’s Word in counseling and discipleship situations. If you are interested, see Bro. Travis for more information.
