It was my privilege to moderate last year’s Southwide Baptist Fellowship in Raleigh, NC. God gave us a very special meeting and real encouragement from His Word. (You may watch the 2021 messages here.) Now, we are just over 10 weeks away from the 2022 meeting!

Pastor Tim Rabon is serving as this year’s moderator, and Pastor Kenny Kuykendall is serving as the host pastor and vice moderator. These men are Spirit-filled men and will do a wonderful job of leading our gathering on October 10-12. The meeting will be held at the Cross Roads Baptist Church in Lawrenceville, GA.

This year’s theme is “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58). We know that the Bible messages, Christ-honoring music, seasons of prayer, and time of fellowship with other Christian workers will be a great refreshment to all who come. I hope you will plan to bring your family and others from your church family.

  • Hotels are now available at southwidebaptist.org/accomodations. Our friends in the area suggest that you make your room reservations as soon as possible.
  • Speakers are being posted through the Southwide social media and on the website. A full schedule will be posted shortly.
  • Many helpful resources will be available in the exhibit hall. If you would like to participate as an exhibitor you may register as a partner on the website.
  • Tammy and I plan to host all evangelists and their wives who can be with us on Tuesday for lunch. This was a wonderful time of fellowship last year and we are excited about seeing many of you that day.

Several special things are being planned for the 2022 Southwide and I want to encourage you to join us for the entire meeting. You may find more detail and register online at southwidebaptist.org. We hope to see you this fall in Georgia!

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
