Missions Spotlight: Handyman Ministry




Behind the scenes in our community is a ministry team we call Handymen Ministries.  This team has been blessing our community by providing free labor for those who need a ramp built to have easier and safer access into their homes.  Our men provide free labor and the homeowners provide the materials needed to build the accessibility ramps. 

Most of us never anticipate physical crises and those who serve in First Baptist’s Handymen Ministries know they are a God send to those who need a ramp built for their home.  Over the years this group has been flooded with thank you notes and donations to their ministry that come from an outpouring of gratitude from those they bless with their work.   The group has also volunteered together for various projects at Caraway and Mundo Vista.  They also sometimes help widows address minor things in their homes.  This group receives great joy serving together and wants no recognition for their service.  They do what they do because of their love for the Lord and their community. They build community together among themselves as they serve together. 

This team has been building in our community for well over a decade and plans to keep serving.  If you know of someone in need of a ramp you can contact our church office at 336-629-9191 for more information.

When Will the End Be? Matthew 24.36-44

Keep watching.   Question:   When will the end be?   Jesus is coming to restore all things.   There will be no more dying and no more fear.   Jesus gives the disciples the hope of His return.   He wants them to have assurance.    “When are you doing to all these things?” the disciples wonder.   We do this with other things in our lives as well.   For example, when someone gets engaged we ask, “When’s the date?”   When someone is about to graduate we want to know the graduation date.   We want to have the details.   This is a natural curiosity.   We have the same questions the disciples had.   Answer: We do not know when Jesus will return .    There’s the answer!   It’s an important answer.   This is the most important future event of our lives, when Jesus answers the disciples in verse 36:              ...

The Tower of Babel: Genesis 11.1-9 (ESV)

In Genesis 11, The Tower of Babel is a fascinating story.   It was a fun story to tell for the original audience and it is easy to remember.   Parents memorized it and told it to their children.   This is the only story we have that explains why we have so many languages and cultures.   When a child asks why someone is different and speaks another language this story answers their question.   This story also helps us understand why our world is the way it is.   There’s also another meaning in this story that gets to the heart of why we are here.   It’s about what God has for us, God’s purpose in our lives.   We are a people who like to plan.   We do things like building a tower too.   Just last week I spent an hour in Lowe’s looking at lumber thinking about something I’m never going to build!   It was still fun to think and plan.    God made us this way.   We like to plan.   Are all these dreams and plans we ...

Challenges from the Holy Spirit: Luke 8:22-25; Matthew 7:1 2 and Chronicles 7:14

  We are living in some of the most challenging, difficult, frustrating and confusing times.   People’s emotions, relationships, fears, and sense of security are all over the place. During these times I have been asking God two questions: 1.     God, what are You trying to teach me? 2.     How should I respond? My prayer is that when we leave this place, the Holy Spirit will so speak that we will have a greater resolved to live daily with Jesus. Prayer:   Lord, let Your blessings be upon the message today.   Have mercy on the speaker.   He is a sinner in need of Your grace.   Have mercy upon the listeners, we might hear what You might have in store.   Will You speak to all of this morning through your Holy Spirit, so when we leave this place, You will see that our desire to live daily with Jesus has increase.   We thank You for this time to be a gathered church.   We offer this prayer relying upon J e...
