2   The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3   And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4   And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
13   And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14   And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15   And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16   Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17   Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18   And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19   Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20   And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21   And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22   While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Mark 2:1-5 KJB: 1   And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2   And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3   And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4   And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5   When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

2 Timothy 2:19 KJB: 19   Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Matthew 1:21 KJB: 21   And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Romans 8:1-5 KJB: 1   There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2   For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3   For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4   That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5   For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Pastor Dale Massengale, of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, McQuady, KY, exhorts during Sunday School Opening Assembly, on September 27, 2020.
Proverbs 1:10-19 KJB: 10   My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11   If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12   Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13   We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14   Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15   My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16   For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17   Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18   And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19   So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

Psalm 138 KJB: 1   I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2   I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3   In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4   All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5   Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6   Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7   Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8   The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Acts 27:9-20 KJB: 9   Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10   And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11   Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12   And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
13   And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14   But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15   And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16   And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17   Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18   And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19   And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20   And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

Acts 15:1-4 KJB: 1   And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2   When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3   And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4   And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

Brother Kevin Tucker, of Pleasant View Baptist Church, McQuady, KY, teaches Sunday School on August 30, 2020.
Mark 1:15-20 KJB: 15   And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
16   Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17   And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18   And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19   And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20   And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
Luke 5:1-11 KJB: 1   And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2   And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3   And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4   Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5   And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6   And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7   And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8   When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9   For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10   And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11   And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
John 1:35-41 KJB: 35   Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36   And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37   And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38   Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39   He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40   One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41   He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

The late Dr. Harold B. Sightler, founder of The Bright Spot Hour Radio Broadcast and Tabernacle Baptist Church, both of Greenville, SC, preaches during a Sunday evening service back in 1971, there at Tabernacle.
Revelation 19:11-21 KJB: 11   And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12   His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13   And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14   And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15   And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16   And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17   And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18   That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19   And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20   And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21   And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Revelation 9:13-21 KJB: 13   And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14   Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15   And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16   And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17   And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18   By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19   For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
20   And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21   Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 16:12-16 KJB: 12   And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13   And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14   For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15   Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16   And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Joel 2:1 KJB: 1   Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
