God Is Our Help and Protection

Psalm 46 (ESV)

To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah.

According to Alamoth. A Song.

1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Hebrews 4:14-16 (ESV) 14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Global

Today we will pray for Moldova.

Population: 3,575,574

73.36% Christian

3.7% Evangelical

28% Unreached People Groups

Moldova remains open to the gospel, and evangelical churches continue to grow and multiply. There is a sense of increasing momentum as the gospel permeates deeper into Moldova through evangelism and church planting. Still, poverty has forced many pastors and up to 20,000 evangelicals to leave Moldova in recent years. Pray that God might provide the church’s material needs such as jobs, buildings, discipleship materials and training resources for leaders.

Local Church

We will also pray for Jefferson Baptist Church and their Pastor, David Goza. (9135 Jefferson Hwy, Baton Rouge, LA 70809) (Email: dlgoza@jeffersonbaptist.org)

Woodlawn Baptist Church For matters related to our own local body, see weekly prayer guide distributed via email during the week.

Offering

“It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). One of the greatest joys for Christians is being able to give cheerfully, generously, and sacrificially. There is tremendous satisfaction that comes from seeing the fruits of our labor multiplied many times over in the lives of others. Money is a powerful thing, and when we use it well, it has potential to do incredible good. We hope that we’re able to excel in the grace of giving. And so having been found faithful with little, God will be pleased to entrust us with more.

Gathered - Worship Ministry Kickoff

The worship ministry will be kicking off a new season on August 9 and 10 with our annual Gathered event. If you are a youth or adult currently serving or interested in serving in the worship ministry (instrumentalists, singers, audio/visual teams), please register today. You can see the schedule and register by visiting wbcbr.org/ministries/worship and scrolling to the bottom of the page. See Pastor Laramie for more information.

Abuse Awareness Training

On Sunday, August 11th immediately following the Worship Gathering, anyone that works with babies through high schoolers is asked to attend this mandatory training session. Our staff has been working diligently since October to improve our safety policies and procedures. It is essential that we all know these new policies and procedures. We are thankful for all of our volunteers who serve our children and families. Our desire is to do our best to protect both child and volunteer. The training will be held in the Fellowship Hall. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Please let Bro. Travis or Lyn know if you can’t attend so that other arrangements can be made.

After that time, the cost will be $30. Call Dana Truitt at BAGBR (225-296-3943) to register.

Life Groups

We have many ministries that serve to help you in your sanctification as you follow Christ. One aspect of sanctification often overlooked is accountability from brothers and sisters. Life Groups, beginning Sunday, Sept. 8, are small groups of the same gender that exist to hold you accountable in your corporate worship engagement, daily bible reading, evangelistic witness, and pursuit of holiness. Sign up to be in a Life Group by emailing Pastor Laramie (laramie@wbcbr.org). He will connect you with

one of our Life Group leaders.

Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC)

Do you want a better grasp on God’s Word so that you are able to know it and apply it better? In the Spring of 2020, Woodlawn Baptist Church will be partnering with a number of local churches to provide counseling and discipleship training. This training time will be designed to equip people to be better handlers of God’s Word in counseling and discipleship situations. If you are interested, see Bro. Travis for more information.
