Let's see to it that every one of us is a brook in the way, to encourage people in a time of suffering and sorrow. I know you are having it rough. I know you have troubles and problems, difficulties and heartaches. I know that, but have a brook in the way. One brook in the way is the church.
Every church ought to be a brook in the way.
I mean that I want the First Baptist Church in Hammond to be the kind of a church that can be a brook in the way to all who attend. When you walk in the doors of this church, I want you to feel refreshed. The church is a brook in the way. There are folks here this morning whose hearts are heavy and broken and who are discouraged and lonely. There ought to be a brook in the way as we stand to read the Scripture, hear announcements, preach, fellowship, and sing.
