I hope you and your family are doing well physically, you are staying focused mentally, and you are continuing to grow spiritually in these volatile times. 

The Concord Baptist Church worship will be on Facebook Live because of the federal and state restrictions to prevent the COVID-19 from spreading. We want you and your family to be as safe and healthy as possible. I am so thankful to God we have the ability to still get a Fresh Hot Word to you.

Pray for the sick, pray for the unsaved, pray for saved, pray for healing all over the world. Thank you in advance for worshipping with us. Spread the word that we will be on Facebook Live Sunday at 10am….
If the Lord allows us, see you Sunday at 10am. 

Keep Trusting God
Pastor Bridges

Most people give up too easily. Some half heartily do so many things. Others do not even try. Luke 18:1 teaches us to always pray and not faint.

We must always breathe to live. We must always eat to live. And if we are going to live the way The Gospels teach us, we have to pray without ceasing. It may take days, weeks, months, or even years before God does something in regards to your specific prayer request. He has given you another day to live on this Earth. Have you confessed Jesus with your mouth and believed in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead to receive salvation?

I’m praying for you…
Pray for others as you continue to pray for yourself.
Keep Trusting God!!!
PB

What a wonderful fellowship we had together, celebrating Black History Month and worshipping our Lord and Savior! We were blessed with a wonderful word from Dr. Malachi Rodgers, retired pastor. He encouraged us to not forget what our forefathers have gone through throughout history and to remember what God has brought us through. We are God’s people and should continue to move forward into all the great plans He has for us. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
