Our Place In God’s History
Celebrating the Faithfulness of God (1865-2021) Mount Zion Baptist Church
Isaiah 14:24 (NLT) The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath: “It will happen as I have planned. It will be as I have decided. I have a plan for the whole earth, a hand of judgement upon all the nations. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken—who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?”
 
Only God can place His vision in the hearts of ordinary people and equip them to grow in it according to His will. Only God can take small beginnings and connect them with opportunities that align the purpose of His vision in the world. There are never any gaps in God’s plans. He patiently and thoughtfully develops the spiritual character of His people through intervals of challenges that build endurance and teach the importance of clinging to God…and to each other. Through His people, God’s influence impacts a world lost in darkness. Faith and obedience in God produces blossoms in the life of His church body. There are blossoms for individuals, families, communities, and entities of people God plants in the small beginnings that are purposed for greater expansions! This is our place in God’s history – yours and mine. Celebrating the faithfulness of God during this 150th anniversary season, Mount Zion is boldly reaching the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and making a legacy so that its future generations can continue on in its Kingdom mission! We invite you to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Claim your place in God, and claim your place in His history!
