A WORD from YOUR PULPIT SUPPLY COMMITTEE
The year was 1850. The place was a
simple house surrounded by acres of
corn and cotton in a scarcely populated
wilderness. It was another hot day in
August, but it was not just an ordinary day
in the shady, little grove of hickory trees.
Led by God, eleven people joined
together in worship and the church that
would become known as First Baptist
Church of Tupelo was birthed.
For 165 years this church of great faith
has firmly stood on Christ the solid Rock!
We have been shepherded, and
discipled, and led by men of God, lovingly
known to us as our Pastors. As a people
of deep commitment, we have enjoyed
God’s blessings as we have humbly and
prayerfully loved God in faithful worship,
obedience, and surrender.
Jesus has modeled a life of prayer for us
and He has taught us, His disciples, how
to pray. Each and every day we are to
pray, praising God, magnifying His
holiness, seeking Him and seeking to
have our hearts at one with His heart, His
desires and His purposes.
Continuing in this solid Godly heritage,
we are earnestly praying with a deep
desire and a request that God will guide
us to the one He has chosen to be our
Pastor. It is our prayer that God will bless
and prosper His work for His Kingdom
through us as a church body. Please join
us as we pray for His amazing grace to
prepare our hearts, beloved church
family, to receive and accept His yet to be
revealed will for this church, His church.
So what about our hearts as a body of
believers? Could it be that we have not
fully prepared our hearts to receive the
man God has for us? Bro. Gayle
Alexander will be bringing a message
Sunday evening, May 17, to help prepare
our hearts to receive the pastor God has
chosen for our church.

Congratulations to our graduating class of
2015! It has been an awesome privilege
getting to know them over the last two years.
This has been a very close knit group, and
they have been so much fun to be around.
Lindsey and I pray that all of their future
endeavors will be successful and full of
happiness. I would like to encourage our
church family at FBC to be in constant
prayer for them as they take this giant leap
in their lives. We have thirteen students in
this class that will be spreading out all over
the country. This class will have students
attending seven different collegiate
institutions and two branches of the United
States Military (Army, Marines). This class
consists of future Bulldogs, Rebels, Hogs,
Indians, Lions, and Blue Raiders.
MAY 2
Trip to Sky Zone, 9:00 a.m.
This fall our students will be spread out
across six different states. Their families will
also need your prayers as they let them go
to begin setting the foundation for their
future. I truly believe that our seniors will go
on to do great things and make this world a
better place. Will you join with me in
praying for them as they go?

Thoughts on WORSHIP from
Randy … This is a different world we live
in. I am old enough to have seen cultures
change, the way we “do church”. Our
methods and the way we do things change,
but our message and our God never change.
He has always been and will be forever and
ever…Alpha and Omega.
I must tell you at the onset…I do not have all
the answers as to how worship is to be done.
I do know that our God loves us like no one
else. How can I not worship Him? There is
only one acceptable way to worship – that is
through Jesus.
“He was wounded for our transgressions,
bruised for our iniquities, and the punishment
of our peace was upon Him and by His stripes
we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) What took place
on that day changed the world. His death and
resurrection stirs our heart to worship.
Worship is a part of my life. It is kind of like
when the Bible says to “pray without ceasing.”
We cannot go around with our eyes closed or
be on our knees constantly. Most of us have
jobs to fulfill, or we may be students, or we are
raising children and on and on with responsibilities. But we can have a heart attitude of
prayer. A prayer can be on our heart. There
$300.00 plus two meals each day. We are
in need of volunteers to sign up no later
than May 10.
Tokyo, Japan Mission Journey
Retreat and Ministry in Tokyo
July 11-19, 2015
Cost: $1,100.00; Maximum Team Size: 10
Passport Required. Must be valid at least
six months after trip return date. If you do
not have a passport you must have one in
hand no later than June 15, 2015 in order
to travel. Team will provide retreat for
missionary families with emphasis on
ministry to children and adults. Topics will
include: 1) Marriage and Family Enrichment,
2) Financial Management. A worship leader
is needed.
Supporting Ministry
In the April edition of The Evangel, the
church was updated on the current financial
are too many times when I do not have an
attitude of prayer, and there are times that I
am not worshipping the Lord. There are life
situations that distract me. Worship is an
overflow of our lives inspired by a great God,
the Lord Jesus Christ. We can have a heart of
worship.
I am a proud Grandad. It’s like starting all over
with your own kids. There is nothing like it
when that grandchild crawls up in my lap and
lets me read that special book. That special
time with my grandchild thrills my soul. They
love that time with their granddad, and I enjoy
it more than can be expressed.
Each day I spend time with the Lord. It is
during this time that I read the word of God
and pray. I have to remind myself from time to
time to not take this privilege lightly. This
book, the Bible is God’s Word…God’s Word to
me. You and I can sit down and read and
listen to the God of the universe, the God of
all creation, the One who spoke it all into
existence, the One who allowed His Son to
die and rise from the dead. This book is His
holy Word to my heart.
We call it our “quiet time” or “time alone with
God”. I can sit at the feet of a Holy God and
listen to Him speak. Like my grandchildren
climb in my lap, I can climb in His lap or sit at
status of the church. At that time, you
were informed of a spending freeze that
has been put in place to protect the cash
flow for recurring expenses. Church, you
have responded in part by giving to
increase the weekly offerings; however,
the gap in budget requirement vs. budget
receipts remains at approximately
$100,000 year-to-date. With summer
approaching, we will continue to watch
expenses closely and remain under a
spending freeze to ensure we can meet
the ministry needs in the coming months.

His feet and enjoy a time of worship and hear
from Him.
Darlence Zchech says, “We worship because
he is a holy God, and we the created—made
for his pleasure—worship and serve the
Creator because He alone is worthy.”
Let me encourage you to spend time daily
with Him, and also be faithful in corporate
worship. He is worthy.

L OVE O FFERING
Sunday, May 10
Many have worked to sustain the ministry of
The Baptist Children' s Village since 1897,
because Mississippi children and families
need help and hope. Each child and each
family we serve have very specific needs,
therefore, we develop individual plans of care
for them that will help them work
toward and reach goals. This ministry
focuses on the spiritual, academic, family,
and emotional needs for every child they
serve on seven residential campuses and for
every family that they serve through
non-residential services.
The Baptist Children’s Village relies totally on
the generous gifts from God’s people to
provide for this ministry. Prayerfully pray
about what God would have you give toward
the continuance of this ministry.

Reading through the Bible Chronologically…
As we continue to look at what the Bible says about itself, I want us to take a look at
1 Thessalonians 2:13. “And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the
word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it
really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.” The people in the church at
Thessalonica had the right attitude toward the Word of God. They did not receive it as just as
words of men but they understood it was the Word of God. We must never take God’s Word for
granted. We have to accept it, welcome it as His Holy Word. When we accept it as His Holy
Word, we need to apply it like those in Thessalonica did. Paul could see that the Word was at
work in those believers. It seems they applied it to their lives and it made an impact on them as
believers. As a “living and active” Word, it has power in our lives. It has power to transform who
we are, how we think, how we live, how we relate to others, how we pray, how we use our
money, how we grow in faith and how we walk through times of trial or testing. Are you
“receiving” the Word? Do you welcome the daily diet of this Word? I hope so. Ask God to give
you the desire to receive what He wants to teach you through His Word and to accept or
welcome the words of the Scripture that it will transform you and all of us as we grow to be
more like Jesus. Blessings.
