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:              ...

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...

Corona Caroling

Here's some of the group caroling at their 2nd facility, Crossroads Church member, Alison Hargett has led a group to minister in a local assisted living center.   They've led Bible School for the residents for a few years now and this has turned into a monthly Bible Study for residents with her, her daughters and some other moms and their daughters as well.  In this season of social distancing and lockdown for assisted living facilites, Alison's group got creative and went, "Corona Caroling" last week.  They sang outside the windows to the residents.  The windows couldn't be opened but they sang loud and the residents loved it!  They did a couple of songs with American Sign Language and brought smiles to faces.  They've made plans with another facility for this coming week and look forward to doing this again.  "We can't do our normal Bible Study but we figured out a way to bring them a little joy anyways!" said Hargett.
