1 Thessalonians 2:13-20

Pastor Cory finishes up the second chapter of Paul's first letter to the Church of Thessalonica with an inspiring message to join in the work that Christ started back in Jerusalem. From the mount of olives, to Pentecost, to the diaspora of the believers, to the formation of churches all throughout Asia Minor and Greece, Christ's work was not only for the 12 men to whom He spoke the words of the great commission. The Lord desires every church today and every church member to experience a new life in Him that is transformed by His grace and filled with power to carry on His work in a lost and dying world that desperately needs this truth.

As we have broken through into the latter part of the year, it seems as though the Lord has still been leading Pastors Cory and Troy on a path speaking directly to the church and our Christian walk. Starting at the beginning of the year, Pastor Troy began to preach a series on vision and the church, and Pastor Cory has taken a break from Ephesians to bring messages that are very timely for us as a church. There have been powerful messages that we hope you will go back and listen to. These men of God bring us a word from the Lord every week and we pray that you are blessed from this word as well during this season of our lives.

The calling for every Christian is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Well, where does the earth begin and where does it end? For us at Bald Mountain Baptist Church, the world begins in the Shumont Community on top of a little peak in Buncombe County, NC. Our prayer is that through this platform we might do our part in reaching the ends of the earth with the gospel!

Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Isaiah 42:10-11

Nehemiah 2:1-20

Pastor Troy was back in our series on Nehemiah this week with a powerful message of what rebuilding looks like for the people of God. We all say that we want to rebuild and revitalize and be renewed, yet there are aspects of our lives that are lacking the faith in order to facilitate these things. Faith is not merely the belief in the fact that there is a God, but it is an active trusting and putting feet to the faith we say that we have. Faith without works is dead. If we expect God to begin moving in these ways but we are not actively trusting in the Lord through prayer, planning, moving, and seeking to grow in relation to Him, we are sorely misled. This movement is not from a confidence in ourselves, but rather in the eternal power of our Lord and Savior who desires to renew His church in this nation and the world!

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 |

Pastor Cory is back in Paul's letter to the Thessalonians with a very powerful message today. While Paul is describing his past and current ministry to the churches, he is not only speaking to the pastors and church leaders. Instead, every believer is meant to follow after his example of longsuffering, holiness, and integrity in the ministry. Pastor Cory makes the express point that all Christians have been given the calling from God to go out and share their faith with a world that is broken and hurting. May we learn from Paul today and go forth with boldness to share the love of Christ with others.
