By Russ Wilkins Dir. of Missions, Shiloh Baptist Assoc., Adamsville Focal Passage: Luke 2:25-38 In 2020 there have been some things that we thought were necessities and we thought were so important but then we realized that they were just things we wanted or enjoyed or looked forward to. Maybe for you it was March Madness. Every year you get excited, fill out your brackets and compete with your friends
By Eric Taylor Pastor, Cedar Hill Baptist Church, Cedar Hill Focal Passage: Psalm 35:1-3, 13-18 There is no denying we live in a day and age filled with anger.

In our lesson, we see that while David was facing the wrath and
By Russ Wilkins Dir. of Missions, Shiloh Baptist Assoc., Adamsville Focal Passage: Luke 2:4-19 Today’s title is “PROCLAIMED” and the first thing I thought about when I saw that word was the old Fanny Crosby hymn, “Redeemed how I love to PROCLAIM it, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; redeemed through His infinite mercy-His child, and forever, I am.” We think of Luke 2 as “The Christmas Story” as
