News from Harvest Baptist Church

Pastor’s Corner

Posted by admin On September - 23 - 2009

We had a great day last Sunday. In the Morning Service, Dr. John Vaughn, President of the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship spoke. I was an excellent message. I heard many comments from those in attendance about how that message blessed their lives. Also in the morning we were favored with a wonderful special number by Sandy Childers. A special blessing in the morning service was the fact that Jan Waters was able to be with us. It was great to see her.

Then in the Evening Service we received more blessing. Our speaker was Missionary Josep Segurado, Missionary to Spain under Baptist World Mission. He was accompanied by his wife, Sarah, and their three sons. Both Josep and Sarah are from Spain. They received their Bible training from Baptist College of Ministry in Menomonee Falls, WI. They are well trained, are fluent in the language, and will certainly be used of the Lord in establishing churches in Spain. It was a privilege and honor to have these good missionaries with us.

This is a great week at Harvest Baptist Church. On Friday afternoon, we are having the Ordination Council which will consider Pastor Josh Musgrave for Ordination to the Gospel Ministry. The Council, composed of pastors from the Denver area, will hear Brother Musgrave’s statement of doctrine along with a statement of his conversion, Christian life, and call to the ministry. This Council Meeting will begin at 2:00 P.M. If the Council votes favorably to recommend that Harvest Baptist Church ordain Brother Josh, we will have the Ordination Service in the 6:00 P.M. Service, next Sunday at Highlands, Baptist Church, 1500 E. Phillips Ave., Centennial, CO . We encourage all of our people to attend this momentous event next Sunday night.

Another Announcement: Sunday School Teachers’ Meeting during the Mid-Week Service on Thursday.

We need to pray for these:
Jan Waters
Buda Courter, Shirley Ater’s mother—Has had a serious infection in her leg.

We will look forward to seeing you at the Thursday Mid-Week Service, at the Ordination Council on Friday, if possible, and in the Services next Sunday.

Dear Church Family,

What a beautiful to sight to look out at the landscape transformed by the white snow. As I look out the window preparing for tomorrow I can’t stop thinking about the sacrifice that Jesus made for me to make my sin as white as snow. I pray that you will begin thinking these thoughts today and prepare your heart for tomorrow’s service. We have a very special service planned tomorrow. Our singing will be focused on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. Maria Barta, one of our newest members, will be singing one of my favorite songs tomorrow, The Look (the lyrics for this song can be found at the bottom of this post). We will conclude the service with our Sacrifice Sunday Offering. In this offering you will be asked to place your financial, as well as time, sacrifice to Christ. It will be a wonderful time of focus on the work of our precious Savior.

I understand that the snow has made it difficult for many to get out; however, I believe that tomorrow’s service is extremely important for our church. We have a quick fellowship after the service tomorrow followed by a presentation of the plans for our new auditorium. If our church is going to move forward on this building project I believe it is vital for us all to be on the same page. We are planing the future of our church tomorrow. We spent the entire month of January building up to this service. I believe this is a critical time for our church body. We have the opportunity to gather together and focus on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. I pray that you will be here tomorrow to worship together with the body of Christ.

In Christ,

Pastor Josh


The Look


I saw one hanging on a tree in agony and blood

Who fixed His loving eyes on me as near His cross I stood

And never till my dying breath will I forget that look

It seemed to charge me with His death though not a word He spoke


My conscience felt and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair

I saw my sins His blood had spilt and helped to nail Him there

But with a second look He said “I freely all forgive

this blood is for your ransom paid; I died that you might live”


Thus while His death my sin displays for all the world to view

Such is the mystery of grace; it seals my pardon too

With pleasing grief and mournful joy my spirit now is filled

That I should such a life destroy yet live by Him I killed


CHORUS

Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died

The Lamb I crucified and now my life will sing the praise

Of pure atoning grace that looked on me and gladly

took my place
