Sunday MORNING worship seRVICE | "perilous Times, perilous men." | rev. Dr. Charles W. Wormley | Sermon Text: 2 Timothy 3: 1-5

Video Ministry Recording provided by Church School Superintendent Brother Robert Lucas

**2 Timothy 3:1-5** is a passage from the New Testament of the Bible. It reads as follows:

 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, wi..., lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

This passage highlights the behavior and attitudes that will be prevalent in difficult times, urging believers to remain steadfast in their faith and to avoid those who exhibit such negative traits.

**Important Notice from Mount Zion Baptist Church | *Safety Precautions and Service Update**

Great News! Praise God!

There will be a service today at Mount Zion Baptist Church starting at 11:00 a.m. We invite all church members, family, friends, and the community to come out and worship with us.

**Important Note:** Due to the recent snow and ice weather we've been experiencing, please use extreme caution as you navigate the roads to drive to the church and be careful walking in the parking lot. We have shoveled snow and salted ice to ensure your safety when entering the church. 

**Additionally, we recommend you carpool if at all possible due to limited parking spaces in the church lot. **

**Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Beacon of Justice and Peace**


Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. remains one of the most celebrated figures in American history, renowned for his pivotal role in advancing civil rights through nonviolent activism. Born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. King emerged as a transformative leader during the tumultuous era of the 1950s and 1960s.


Dr. King’s journey into the annals of history was marked by his impassioned speeches, tireless advocacy for racial equality, and unwavering commitment to justice. His eloquence and vision for a harmonious society propelled the Civil Rights Movement forward, galvanizing individuals from all walks of life to stand up against systemic oppression.


A defining moment in his career came on August 28, 1963, during the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Standing before the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, where he articulated a powerful vision of a future where people are judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. This speech, along with many others, cemented his legacy as a master orator and a beacon of hope.


Dr. King's relentless efforts culminated in significant legislative victories, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. His philosophy of nonviolence was deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi, and it underscored his belief that love and peaceful resistance could overcome hatred and injustice.


Tragically, Dr. King's life was cut short when he was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. Despite his untimely death, his legacy endures. Each year, Americans celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, reflecting on his profound contributions and recommitting to the ideals of equality and justice for all.


We invite everyone to celebrate Dr. King on Monday, January 20 by attending a public gathering or other area events. We must keep his legacy alive and recognize the contribution he has made to our society.


As we feature Dr. King's historic speeches on our website, we honor his enduring legacy and his dream of a world where peace and equality prevail.

Year 2025 Church Theme

We are delighted to announce that our church theme for the year 2025 is rooted in the powerful and inspiring words of Matthew 28:19-20:

 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

 As we embark on this journey together, let us embrace the call to spread the teachings of Christ and make disciples, knowing that His presence will guide and sustain us every step of the way.

Verse of the Day | Proverbs 16: 9 (NIV)



**Proverbs 16:9** (NIV) states: *"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps."*


This verse underscores the balance between human free will and divine guidance. While we may devise our own plans and set our own goals, it's ultimately God who guides and determines the path we take. This concept holds profound relevance in today’s world:


**Application Today:**


1. **Trust in Divine Guidance:**

   - *Meaning:* Even with careful planning, we may face unexpected challenges or detours. Trusting in a higher power can provide comfort and assurance that everything happens for a reason.

   - *Example:* In career planning, you might have a clear vision of your desired trajectory, but unforeseen opportunities or setbacks can arise. Trusting that these occurrences are part of a larger plan can help you navigate changes with grace and resilience.


2. **Flexibility and Adaptability:**

   - *Meaning:* While it's good to have plans, remaining open to adjustments is crucial. This openness allows us to respond more effectively to life’s unpredictability.

   - *Example:* Think of a small business owner who faces market shifts or economic downturns. Being adaptable and open to change can lead to innovation and new growth opportunities.


3. **Humility:**

   - *Meaning:* Recognizing that our control is limited can instill humility. It reminds us that we're part of a bigger picture, where not everything is within our grasp.

   - *Example:* When achieving success, it's easy to attribute it solely to our efforts. Remembering this proverb encourages us to acknowledge the external factors and support that contribute to our accomplishments.


4. **Perseverance Through Uncertainty:**

   - *Meaning:* Life is filled with uncertainties. This verse encourages us to persevere, knowing that our steps are being guided even when the way forward isn't clear.

   - *Example:* In personal or professional life, when faced with setbacks or uncertainty, this perspective helps us keep moving forward with faith and determination.


Incorporating the wisdom of Proverbs 16:9 into daily life encourages us to plan thoughtfully while remaining receptive to the divine direction, fostering a balanced and grounded approach to our endeavors.
