Episode 94: Journey's in Life

Today, Highlawn Baptist Church of Saint Albans, WV celebrated the 72nd anniversary of their founding. As part of the celebration, a former beloved Youth Minister, Pastor Rob Ely was asked to return and deliver the message for the morning service.  The message today will begin with more of a personal reminiscing of Pastor Ely's past (and continued) experience with Highlawn Baptist, with some personal anecdotes interspersed throughout. 

The first chapter of the book of James gives the believer an action plan for maturity in faith.  James exhorts us to look at the trials and tribulations of this life from an eternal worldview rather than an earthly view which leads to depression and anxiety.  He points us back to Christ for wisdom and perseverance with the result of our more accurate focus being a growth in Christian maturity. Join Pastor Rob Ely as he guides us through the first chapter of James, as well as other selected scriptures outlining a right response to trials that will inevitably arise through our Journey's in Life. 

Pastor Rob Ely is now the Director of Student Ministries for the West Virginia Baptist Convention (WVBC), and the statewide Director of Baptist Campus Ministries (BCM) for WV.  For more information, or to contact Pastor Ely, please go here: https://www.wvbc.org/about-us/staff/leadership-staff/
