Things to Ponder
Is Heaven and Hell real? Is there life after death? What does it take to be a Christian? Do you know how to know that you are going to heaven? Does Jesus love us unconditionally? Where do you want to spend eternity? If you have answered any of these questions with uncertainty orif you cannot answer them, we encourage you to visit Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church and listen to the Word of God as delivered by Pastor Flowers.WE GREET YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS
WELCOME!It is our prayer that we can say something that willi nspire you to seek the kingdom of God. We are living in a time where many are seeking butdo not know what they are seeking. Many have fallen away from their childhood teachings of theWord of God. Many are feeling hopeless, cornered and enslaved. Let us tell you about a man named Jesus. His Father loved us so much that He sent him as a living sacrifice for all of us. No, we cannot tell it all here but that is why we encourage you to join the Rev. Romey Flowers Jr., First Lady Sis. Judy Flowers and members of theRising Star Missionary Baptist Church in fellowship, praise and worship this Sunday. God has given us the greatest gift of all but we have to accept it. We look forward to your presence this Sunday. If not with us, please find a church that teaches and believes the Holy Bible. God's grace, mercy and peace unto you.!Your Virtual Usher

From the Pastor's Wife
FROM THE PASTOR'S WIFE
I share the sentiment's of my husband concerning Christ's Church. Having been called by God and when becoming a Child of God, there were things I had to learn. I had to learn that letting go of what we cherish is one of the toughest things we ever have to do and that includes letting go of jobs, homes, relationships, good health, illusions, self-importance and sometimes even loved ones. We are crippled by sufferieng, unless we learn to say goodbye as well as hello. I had to learn that God MUST be first! That applies to me and anyone who has decided to make God their choice. We must say " Farewell to the Broad-way of living and Hello to walking on Straight Street."
Church History

Those present were Bro. Clinton James Todd Sr., Sis Virgie Lee Todd, Bro Central Todd Jr., Bro Charles B. Barksdale Sr., Sis. Isabel News, Sis. Lilly Mae Sneed, Rev. Emmet W. Smith, Sis.

The Purpose of the Church
The purpose of teaching biblical doctrine is to promote the birth and growth of our faith. (Read Ephesians 4:14)
Words of Encouragement
If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me

- Words of Encouragement
How Often?
I attend church..
The Fruits of Worry
Worry causes additional stress and can be fatal. It is and always will be a fatal disease of the heart. When we worry that is a sign that faith in waning and possibly could soon be gone.
Worry intrudes on God’s compassionate ability to provide for us.
Knowing God - Life's Major Pursuit
Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength
Or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this;
That he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice
And righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, “declares the Lord.”
