Back To The Old Paths

"LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth." — Psalm 26:8, KJB
This milestone edition of the podcast preserves the historic first service inside the new sanctuary of the Pleasant View Baptist Church in McQuady, Kentucky, recorded on Sunday morning, September 6, 2026.
This special, unified dedication service stands as an unvarnished testimony to the faithfulness of God and the sacrificial labor of the saints who worked long days, gave their Saturdays, and gave their all to preserve an old fashioned, Bible-believing Baptist church for the next generation.
Service Highlights & Layout:
• Opening Congregational Singing: Brethren, We Have Met to Worship and Saved Saved

Sermon Outline:
1. The Delight of God's House
2. The Desire for God's House
3. The Dwelling in God's House
4. The Day in God's House
5. The Demonstration of God's House (What we should expect: the Saviour's presence, the Spirit's power, holy ghost conviction of sin, comfort in tragic hours, and clear direction for our lives).

Hebrews 11:1-6 KJB: 1   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2   For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3   Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4   By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5   By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6   But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Isaiah 54 KJB: 1   Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
2   Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3   For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4   Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5   For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6   For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7   For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8   In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
9   For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10   For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
11   O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12   And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13   And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
14   In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
15   Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16   Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17   No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

This edition of The Hour Of Prayer Broadcast, from the Meade's Chapel Rural Missionary Baptist Church, of Nickelsville, VA, was recorded off of AM 690, WZAP, Bristol, VA, on Friday afternoon, September 17, 2010.  Brother Henry Wayne Meade was the Pastor then and Brother Travis Stapleton is the Pastor now.
Exodus 33 KJB: 1   And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
2   And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3   Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
4   And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
5   For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
6   And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
7   And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
8   And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
9   And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10   And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11   And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
12   And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13   Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14   And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15   And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16   For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
17   And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18   And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19   And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20   And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21   And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22   And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23   And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJB: 5   Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6   In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Hosea 10:12-15 KJB: 12   Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13   Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
14   Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15   So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

Matthew 24:4-6 KJB: 4   And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5   For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6   And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

2 Timothy 4:1-8 KJB: 1   I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2   Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3   For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4   And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5   But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6   For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7   I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8   Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

2 Timothy 1:6-7 KJB: 6   Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7   For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
