Fellowship Sunday At AMBC

Sunday Was Fellowship Sunday at AMBC and a great time was had by all. 

      Our Sunday School Attendance was 26. Does not sound like a bunch to most but to us it was a 100 percent increase over last Sunday. The adult class was exceptional as we looked at Accepting or Rejecting Jesus Christ.

     Our morning worship was opened by our youth who did an excellent job with a drama dance that was fantastic.  Thank you Barb for all your good work and to the kids who did an outstanding job.  Our theme for the morning worship time was simply that WORSHIP! What is and what do we have to do in order to WORSHIP as God wants us to WORSHIP

     After morning worship time it was time to gather around the table and enjoy the great food prepared for us. I am sure some got just the right amount to eat, however, there was some of us who may have over done it just a little bit.  But the thing to remember all of this was to bring HONOR and PRAISE to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Easter Sunday At Ava Missionary

What a Day!  Were it not for the fact that Jesus Christ conquered death and the grave, none of us would have been in  worship services today.  Christianity is the faith that claims a living Savior. His disciples come together regularly for Bible study, prayer and worship in order to experience His living presence in their midst. (Matt. 1820)

            Christianity is not just good advice; it is good news from the cemetery. It is good news about God for sinners everywhere.

     In these last days there is great deception. Everyone wants a free ride but few are willing to do it God’s way. These deceivers travel, picking up anyone wanting a free ride to eternity, delivering them to Satan. Their conscience has died because of the decisions they made along the way.

Eternity is only entered through the death, burial and resurrection of the One who dwelt among us. Jesus Christ. Now is the time to repent and place your trust in Jesus Christ

THIS IS THE DAY DEATH DIED .. THE DAY CHRIST AROSE FROM THE GRAVE!!!

            Up from the grave He arose with a mighty triumph over His foes. He arose a victor from the dark domain and He lives forever with His saints to reign. He arose, He arose, Hallelujah Christ Arose!

            Brothers and Sisters in Christ I want to tell you that on the day Christ Arose from the Grave, Death for the Christian was defeated once for all. Scripture tells us:  “I am He that liveth and was dead; and bdhold I am alive for ever more .. and have the keys of hell and death.” (Rev. 1:18) “And having spoiled principalities and powers, He makes a show of them openly triumphing over them in it. (Col 2:15)

            Death is swallowed up in victory, O Death where is thy sting, O grave where is thy victory!!

            Death need hold no more terror in your life. For Christ “Tasted of Death” for us, and triumphed over it on that First Easter Morning. That first Easter Morning will forever be known as the DAY DEATH DIED!!!!!!!.

Good Friday 2009

     It was time for Jesus to be crucified. He had been beaten with fists, had his hair pulled out, He had been flogged to the point of death. He was a mass of bleeding, raw and opened flesh. It is a miracle that He is still able to carry His cross.
     It was the custom that those condemned carry their own method of death. The cross beam, called the "patabulum", was about 100 pounds and carried across the shoulders. Jesus had carried his to the city gate. The soldiers escorting Him picked someone from the crowd of spectators. Verse 21 says,
A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.

1. He Was Silent (So We could Be Heard)
     Jesus was silent for most of His trial. When He did speak He simply turned the answer back to His accusers’ "That is who you say...". When He was beaten he did not give them any cause to do so. When He was ridiculed He did not return the insults or ridicule them. 
    The Son of God spoke nothing at His trial because there was nothing more to say. He had spoken God’s truth and they had rejected it. He had revealed the kingdom of God and they rejected it. He had revealed the messiah and they rejected Him. When they nailed Him to the cross He continued to speak words of intercession, forgiveness and compassion, to those and for those who were crucifying Him. 
     He remained silent so that we could be heard when we cried out "Lord save me!" 

     It is time that we no longer remain silent about our Lord: HE IS ALIVE!!

Palm Sunday At AMBC

Recognizing His Identity.

Scripture Reading:       Matthew 21:1-11

             On that first Palm Sunday, Jesus surrounded by a great crowd of followers and others, entered Jerusalem as the King in exact fulfillment of prophecy to make a final appeal to His own nation. This was His royal entry, and it caused quite a sensation. Matthew tells us “When He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken, saying, ‘Who is this?” (Matt. 21:10) For over two thousand years this same Jesus has been invading our complacent little Jerusalem’s, causing considerable disturbance, and many have pondering His true identity, asking, “Who is this?”

            On the evening of Jesus’ resurrection, He appeared to the disciples behind closed doors. He lingered until they recognized Him. Who is this Man who examines our policies and motives and dealings with one another? “Who is this.” This question was relevant two thousand years ago, and it is relevant now. There is no easy answer.
