We come to baptize certain persons who have made a profession of faith, seven in number. Baptism is the gateway into the church. It is a symbol of a new life, new beginning,

00:05:13.060 - 00:05:23.860

new hope, new destiny. We do this because Jesus, who is our model, our dynamic model,

00:05:23.860 - 00:05:44.380

has said for us to baptize. He was baptized as our example, and we are to be baptized in following him. Delanna Reddy, age nine, is the first candidate for baptism.

00:05:44.380 - 00:06:12.700

If the parents or relatives or friends or individuals who have been instrumental in Delanna making this decision for Jesus Christ happen to be present, You may stand at this time. Thank you. Leno, professional of your taking, I thank you my sister, the name of the father, the son, and the lady.

00:16:00.080 - 00:16:28.240

Wise men of old said, "Plain up a child the way that he should go." And when he is old, he will not depart from it. Jesus said, "Except you become as a little child, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven."

00:16:28.240 - 00:17:08.740

The Apostle said, "When I was a child, I thought as a child, I understood as a child." I'll-- [BLANK_AUDIO] [No audio]

00:17:08.740 - 00:17:27.540

Our subject of our sermon this morning is clean inside and outside. Clean inside and outside. Would you repeat that after me? Clean inside and outside.

00:17:27.540 - 00:17:45.840

Well, you know when Jesus was here on the earth, one day there came to him some people that, well, they were a little smart. They're what we call, what we call, smart alecks.

00:17:45.840 - 00:18:03.840

They thought they knew all about everything. And they had looked at the disciples of Jesus and they saw that they weren't washing their hands when they went to eat their meals. And they said, "Why is it your disciples have been washing their hands?"

00:18:03.840 - 00:18:35.840

They were so concerned about how things looked on the outside. Well, it's a wonderful thing to wash your hands, but sometimes we may not always remember to wash our hands before we eat something. But failing to wash your hands won't keep you out of heaven. The most important thing is being clean on the inside as well as the outside.

00:18:35.840 - 00:19:06.840

Now I have here a grass that looks real clean on the outside, but inside is dirty. It has dirt and wrinkles, well I guess you'd say marks in it, which shows that these marks show that it needs to be washed. So it looks good, but it ought to be clean not only on the outside, but on the inside.

00:19:06.840 - 00:19:42.840

Being clean on the inside has to do with the way we think, it has to do with the attitude that we have, And if we have a clean heart, if we are clean on the inside, we will think good thoughts. We will be kind towards other people. We will be obedient in following those instructions that our parents give us and others that are right.

00:19:42.840 - 00:20:06.840

So Jesus wants us to be clean on the inside and the outside. So remember, in being clean, not only is he concerned about how we look, and you look beautiful this morning all dressed up on the outside, he wants you to be beautiful within as well as beautiful without.

00:20:06.840 - 00:20:37.400

God bless you. May we bow our heads. Father, help us to be clean, to have clean thoughts, to be kind, to be loving, and to act in a way that is good, so that we may be clean on the inside and the outside. Amen.

All of life is a gift from God. All that we have is His. He owns everything and we are his trustees. The earth is the Lord, the fullness thereof, the world and he that dwell therein.

00:24:54.520 - 00:25:34.020

For he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods. Our church is supported through ties and offerings. So God expects each one of us to give according to how he has trusted us. Someone from the 19th Street Baptist Church left a Bible on top of their car outside.

00:25:34.020 - 00:25:49.620

May we bow our heads. Bless us, O Lord, in this time of sharing. And as I did, ever long ago, in the person of Jesus Christ, and looked

00:25:49.620 - 00:26:24.580

at those who came and gave in the Temple of Caesaree, and commended the poor widow who had only two copper coins look upon us today and grant that you may be pleased as we give, motivated by that love that is shown to us, the love that is sacrificially given. Help us to demonstrate that now as

00:26:24.580 - 00:26:53.340

we give for the fervor of the gospel and for the glory and honor of your name. Amen. [MUSIC] [Music] (dramatic music)

Thank you very much You're delighted indeed to have all of our guests who worked with us this morning and We trust that you will remain for a few moments following the interdiction today that The past year members may have the opportunity of meeting each one of you in a more personal way. I

00:36:57.900 - 00:37:22.500

Think most of you know that the Jones family, Benjamin and Janell, both members of our family, and they're here with us. And we have our granddaughter. She probably will be helping us in the service today.

00:37:22.500 - 00:37:40.500

And they'll move a little closer to us by being in Monroe rather than being in Boston, in Boston where they've established legal practice in Monroe. So I'm going to ask them to join me. Some of you haven't met our daughters.

00:37:40.500 - 00:37:54.500

Well, you've known Rhea. She's back today. And it takes all of that to probably get certain things done around the house. I got a real good home-cooked meal when they first came home.

00:37:54.500 - 00:38:23.500

So, uh, I'm looking forward to having her more often. [laughter] You notice that on the second Sunday, next Sunday at 4 p.m. at the T.S.T.A. building at the thirty, uh, 316, 316 West 12th Street

00:38:23.500 - 00:39:01.160

there will be a celebration honoring two minority educators within our church. This is a 100th anniversary celebration, and in this celebration Mr. T.C. Calhoun and Mr. F.R. Rice, The past president of the CMCA will be honored for the rights he's out of the city today because of a brother in Tennessee who was critically ill.

00:39:01.160 - 00:39:35.520

But let's remember this affair on next Sunday and be present as possible. Mr. Furley Thompson informed me that he lost a relative. It was finalized on last week and we send our sympathy to her and the members of that family. You have in your hands a bulletin that gives the financial condition of our church on page 15.

00:39:35.520 - 00:40:03.400

It shows what we are worth as a church family in terms of dollars and cents, material values here, $607,000, How much we raised as a people and paid 16 to top there the total amount $158,000 $530

00:40:03.400 - 00:40:13.960

$31 cents and how much we spent 147,000 21 thousand two hundred eighty eight sixty nine

00:40:13.960 - 00:40:32.280

this was submitted in our annual meeting on Wednesday night of this past week and you notice the proposed budget for 1980 Which is a hundred and eighty thousand dollars and

00:40:32.280 - 00:40:49.080

The message which I have at the beginning of the book indicates that this is a no-frills budget and nearly keeps pace with our inflationary economy and there's a bare-bones budget.

00:40:49.080 - 00:41:13.080

And we as a people adopted the last, the largest budget we had last year, and this year we must do no less in continuing to go forward. And we hope that each person who's in our special envelope will make a substantial contribution in addition to your giving

00:41:13.080 - 00:41:41.480

giving for the current expenses of the church which will be designated for the building fund. Notice I have on a robe that I haven't had on in a long time, one of the African robes that I wear. I'm going to try to wear a different one every Sunday since this is our Black Heritage This is a Nigerian robe that I had made when I was in Nigeria.

00:41:41.480 - 00:42:21.480

It has three pieces and it has, as you see, the rather beautiful needlework even down to the cuff of my pants. So you'll see me pull it up every now and then. And as you can see, this wonderful work that our people do, the great art work that is just recently being discovered by many of the people of the Western world. So in our schools and in our churches throughout this month, we will be emphasizing our black heritage.

00:42:21.480 - 00:42:56.480

I have in the past, and perhaps even the choirs will use music that has been composed by black people. Sometimes we use all of the music as nearly as possible that black composers have written. Now, on the, well let me tell you this, Brother Adam, I always get that last name mixed up, I can't pronounce it, he was a guest of the Willie Tucker's a few Sundays ago.

00:42:56.480 - 00:43:07.480

So Billy Tucker, what's that last name? McCorry. Now, Adam McCorry. Now, Tucker brought, as you recall, a scepter to my right,

00:43:07.480 - 00:43:33.160

and he was here on the Sunday when we had the sermon on Martin Luther King, and he was so impressed and gratified with the service that he wrote a few days ago and sent in that letter a check to our church for $100. And he was just over here from Nigeria looking at our legal system and the puppets brought him by and

00:43:33.160 - 00:43:49.560

he was So kind and generous to remember us in this way. That's wonderful, isn't it? And I'm going to try to answer that and We certainly appreciate this kind of remembrance

00:43:49.560 - 00:43:57.540
