Ephesians 6:10-20

The Armor of God

 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

NBBC Church Projects

New Beginning Baptist Church is happy to announce some of the new projects and changes we've been working on. 

• We've replaced our pews with linkable chairs. These chairs are FAR more comfortable than the older pews and they are much easier to move around and stow away for events. The pews are now up for sale on Craigslist here.
• A very generous donation was made of a wonderful Frigidaire oven/range. With this new oven/range we plan to start a food ministry; feeding the public's body and spirit.
• In preparation for this food ministry, we've begun remodeling what used to be our nursery into a brand new kitchen. Our old kitchen (now the nursery) didn't have a sink and wasn't very conducive for feeding the masses. It was also harder for those accessibility needs to access because of the narrow hallway and sharp turns. Our new kitchen will have a sink, plenty of counter space and cabinets, and even a pass through to allow easy distribution of food.
• We've also been working on a new audio visual control center. This platform in the back of the sanctuary will allow those running our projection and sound system to more easily manage the equipment making them more effective tools for spreading the news of Jesus Christ. This will also allow easier management of recording equipment for recording the sermons on Sunday's (or anything else we wish to record).

God has truly blessed us and is continuing to do so. He's giving us the tools to reach out and touch the lost, sowing seeds of his grace in their hearts. Thanks to all who have given to these projects not only in financial/materialistic ways but also with their hard work, diligence, and time.

Ephesians 6:14-20

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
