Church family, in light of the current events, and in an effort to be compliant and keep us all as healthy as possible, we will have our Sunday service recorded and hosted here on Facebook for you to join in and watch. We will post the video at 10:30 am but it will be available here any time after that. These are less than ideal times, but our God is still among us and drawing us close to Him. Let's gather together in every way that we can and worship Him.

---------------------------------------
This Sunday we will be privileged to enjoy a gospel concert/message.
Robert Williams will give us a concert of gospel music and scriptures
as he brings the Sunday message in song.
Don’t miss this special time of worship we will have.
Pray the the Lord may be able to use the service to touch hearts for Jesus.
Be sure to call and invite friends and neighbors to come, as well.
Let’s make ourselves open to the love and leadership of the Lord
and use the special service to reach new folks for our church.
We had a nice story prepared for publication in the newspaper.
BUT, even with early preparation and contacts, got practically nothing.
So it behooves us to get the word out the best way we can do it.
I have ‘transplanted’ the intended story to our page and to my timeline.
Maybe we will have some response from that … but still:
GO TELL IT IN THE MIDLAND ! Okay?
Business Meeting is postponed until Sunday evening May 1, 7:15 PM
After our singing at Cimarron Place. Important meeting ! Plan to come !
Wednesday Evening Bible Study
MOSES AND THE GREAT EXODUS FROM EGYPT
Come on in and take part
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday School and Church this Sunday!
Sunday School at 9:30AM
And Worship at 10:30AM
Come to WORSHIP HIM
And to enjoy FELLOWSHIP with one another.
See you Sunday!
Thanking God for you !

God has a word for you – BEHOLD
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
There are nearly 1240 instances of the work in the Bible.
We might ought to pay attention, huh?

--------------------------------------
Be looking for you this Sunday!
-----------------------------------------------------------
May God use this week to show you, wherever you may be,
that He is there with you to give witness of His Son, Jesus, our Savior !
AMEN

[04/22/16]   YOU ARE INVITED .. This Sunday, 10:30 AM

Northwestern Baptist Church will host guest minister, Robert Williams, this Sunday, April 24.
He and his wife, Ramona, will be guests in the morning service, 10:30 AM, to present a concert message in gospel music and scripture. Make your plans to attend, without fail. Gospel songs present deep Biblical truth in a enjoyable setting that will inspire and challenge all of us.
Robert grew up in Midland and graduated from Midland High School. Ramona was from Oklahoma. They both graduated from Southern Nazarene University in the Oklahoma City area. They have three children.
Robert has been pastor of churches in Oklahoma, as well as some in Pampa and Andrews, Texas. Ramona taught in elementary schools where they lived. After retirement they settled in Midland and have been involved in a preaching/singing ministry in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Pastor Lucian Rudd says that YOU are invited and welcomed to attend, enjoy the music and worship in this special service. Don’t forget! And, by all means, invite your own friends and neighbors to come, as well. See you Sunday … for a good time listening, singing and being blessed in worship.

[04/10/16]   He is the RISEN LORD ... but what does that mean ... what does it mean to you and me as "common people" ...does it mean we study His Word daily, that we have our own special times of worship, maybe at our own personal alltar dedicated by me or by you for going there to pray, to listen to His Spirit, maybe to a hymn or two .. In other words, do we have at least some sort of worship place and worship time to be alone with Him .. to hear His encouragement and feel His love in a one to one setting. Really worship Him. Really Praise Him. AMEN, we thank you and praise you, Lord.

[04/03/16]   On the day of His resurrection, Jesus met and walked with two of His followers and talked with them about the occurences over the weekend. They didn't recognize Him. They poured out their hearts to Him. They were discouraged, hurt and worried. They invited Him into their home and probably kept talking. But something happened. As they prepared to eat and sat down, Jesus broke the bread and gave it to them .... It was as if their eyes were opened in that instant and they recognized .. the RISEN LORD!. And at that He vanished! Fait was restored. They were now convinced of His resurrection ... they left immediately to go tell the others that they had really seen the risen Lord.
Whatever our need, today, this passageis an eye opener .. we can see faith renewed. We can rush to tell others the story. We can relate to our own circle of friends/family/neighbors how we know and have seen the Risen One.
Whatever, open up and see the signs around you that point to the one who gave his all and the arose to show us it's real ... this message of love, redemption and glory. AMEN

[03/26/16]   I just a few moments ago read a post on facebook by a person I do not know .... Referring to the resurrection and the truth about it, the statement went like this: "truth is Big, so Big that small minds limit their own ability to grasp it. Easter is a beginning as no beginning has ever been since."
I would edit it very slightly, "East is a beginning as no beginning has ever been." Period ... it's the greatest beginning of a 'tradition' we know ... I know, you want to list some other important occurences: creation, the deliverance of the Hebrew people from Egypt, the miracle birth ... etc.
But listen to this ... what happened in that tomb .. the resurrection after three days ... and maybe more so, the reason it took place at all, climaxing God's deep love for us that He gave His son, let him die on the cross for your sins and mine ... and then showed us that He really could, that He really did and that he proved it all with the resurrection!
WOW !! If we could all just "get it," we would crowd the aisles in all of the churches this Sunday to give glory and praise as never before. And we would follow up week after week after week.
The words of Jesus come to mind, "IF YE LOVE ME....."
AMEN !!!

[03/23/16]   I have a quote from Daniel 2 ... a powerful message when we look closely and draw out all that is being said.
Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him. It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.…" — Daniel 2:20-22
I will be preaching from it soon. At first glance it seems to be best directed to political issues .. and it does have a powerful word there, but it seems to me that God's premise in the development of what we call Bible is to have messages for all of us. We are his creation, the base units of what we call nations or society. He has power over the nations, removing and establishing the leaders. And we need to study the ways he establishes as we apply this to political actions such as our current campaigns in in the nation. (They are not always the ways and people and methods that we think of firsthand.)
He gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men of understanding. (Some of us who think we are so smart or full of wisdom didn't get there on our own .. we had help along the way).
He reveals things we consider profound and hidden while we sometimes boast about how we have "discovered" something new. And all of the time he knows what's in the darkness, maye just below the surface but still in the darkness. The point is, I suppose, He, God the Father and Creator, He knows it all! It ALL dwells in Him. He is Creator, Eternal King, Lord and Redeemer. AMEN! and AMEN!

[03/05/16]   Are you gettting ready for Sunday? No, I don't mean getting ready to go to Aunt Josie's ... or getting ready to mow the lawn ... or gettingg ready to have a relazing day, sleeping late, etc. I mean are you getting ready to go to the Lord's house to worship, open the scriptures to study them and accept the challenge God may have for you. He has blessed you in more ways than you can number, maybe even saved you from a disaster, loving and protecting you. Go to church this Sunday, sing praises to Him, hear the message from Him ... and maybe even take a public stand for Him in the presence of those around you. Yeah, are you getting ready for all of that this Sunday? It's likely that God may have something really special for you. See you there! Check in on Facebook and let your friends know you were in Worship. AMEN!

[02/20/16]   Tomorrow, Sunday, 2/2/16, MusicFest/SongFest at the church ... 6 PM. YOU are invited to come and sing with us and enjoy the fellowship of great congregational singing. Sing unto the Lord a great hymn of worship and praise! See you at 3901 Mockingbird Lane, Midland. It will be ggrreeaaattt! Amen!

[02/20/16]   Going “undercover” for God! How would that be? I read about a Nascar driver who went undercover giving people rides and then revealing her real identity. I didn’t get into the full story of how she may have driven them around, but I can easily assume that there were some surprised and impressed folks who telling how they were passengers with a race car driver at the wheel.
What about you maybe going undercover for God … assisting, aiding, serving others in a significant way and then revealing that you are really trying to serve and reveal the living Lord by your actions. You can “live out the Lord’s presence” in your daily life. Show His love for someone and then witness that He is the purpose, driving force and inspiration for your service.
I venture to say, “You will see or meet someone, today that needs to know of God’s love, concern and compassion for them.” SERVE AND THEN TELL. Show the love, then give the testimony. You will bless someone … and … you will be blessed, as well.
AMEN!

[02/17/16]   Up and down, in and out, hot and cold. Sometimes life takes us from one extreme to another.
Just when you have all your ducks in a row, one starts rustling it's feathers and quacking loudly to let you know, “Here comes your new challenge!” What next?
Ah! Here is help! It’s a word from Psalm 121:1,2 ..." I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth."
That’s right, go directly to the ONE who is in charge. In His Word and through His Spirit will come the guidance, the purpose and the encouragement needed to meet the challenge.
And then there is peace! "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7.
AMEN!
May this be a word of peace to you this day! GOD BLESS!
