Colossians 1:9-11 KJB: 9   For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10   That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11   Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Pastor Buster Mullins, of the Little Rock Baptist Church, Glade Spring, VA, preaches on Sunday morning, September 14, 2025.
1 Peter 5:1-3 KJB: 1   The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2   Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3   Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

Jonah 1:1-3 and 3:1-5 KJB: 1   Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2   Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3   But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
1   And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
2   Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3   So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
4   And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5   So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

Here's something a little different, found on an old mixtape: the first few minutes of an edition of The Rock Of Ages Baptist Church Radio Broadcast of Reidsville, NC, as aired over AM 950, WPET, Greensboro, NC, on a Saturday morning back in early 1997.  I know the announcements, song and just the look back in time, will be a blessing.

Assistant Pastor Keith Voyles, of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, McQuady, KY, preaches on Wednesday evening, September 10, 2025.
2 Timothy 2:1-4 KJB: 1   Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2   And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3   Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4   No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Ephesians 6:10-24 KJB: 10   Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11   Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12   For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13   Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14   Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15   And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16   Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17   And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18   Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19   And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20   For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21   But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22   Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23   Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24   Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

Evangelist Dr. Larry K. Raynes, former long-time Pastor of Pleasant View Baptist Church, Taylors, SC, now a member of Progress Baptist Church, Fletcher, NC, preaches during a Revival Meeting several years ago, at the West Side Baptist Church, Mayodan, NC, back when he was still pastoring.
1 Kings 21:1-20 KJB: 1   And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2   And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3   And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4   And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5   But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6   And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7   And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8   So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9   And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
10   And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11   And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12   They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13   And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14   Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15   And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16   And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17   And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18   Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19   And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20   And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.

Matthew 28:5-7 KJB: 5   And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6   He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7   And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
