Antioch Baptist Church was able to worship twice once at Pastor Amado's church in Colonia Unidas and in Cedeno on Sunday morning. We arrived for worship on Sunday morning around 8:45 for the 9:00 service. The church was filling up quickly. The other sister church brought in a bus load from their church. Pastor Carlos started the service by welcoming his sister church and Antioch Baptist Church. It was overwhelming the number of people and children who came out to worship in a church with no electricity that day. Yes there was no ceiling fans running just a gentle breeze coming from the open air windows. The final count that day was 250 adults and children in church. There was around 160 children and the rest were adults. When the children were dismissed to go to Sunday School they came back several times to take pews for the children. The team prepared Sunday School this morning as well. Praise God from who all blesses flowed. There was enough materials for all to have a Sunday School lesson. Pastor Joey preached on Getting out of Your Boat. Leave your comfort zone and answer the call to follow Christ. He used the example of some of the men in the congregation being fishermen and how Jesus called ordinary men, fishermen, to leave their professions and FOLLOW ME. Jesus took ordinary men and did extraordinary things in their life to further the kingdom of God. Jesus is our Master Fisherman. He took the message to work places to homes not just in the synagogues. This week Antioch took the message of Jesus Christ to Honduras. They left their comfort zones, left their church and went to the ends of the earth to share the Good News that JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE. Thirty nine people accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior this week and there were many re dedications of faith. Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today? Have you gotten out of the boat and followed Jesus to proclaim His wondrous story? If not please find someone today and give your life to Jesus and live out your life for eternity not earthy treasures.
Getting Out of the Boat
Luke 5:1-15
