Welcome to Greenwood
At Greenwood Baptist Church our vision is to raise up a generation of passionate disciples of Jesus Christ dedicated to proclaiming the gospel for the glory of God.
Update from the Church Board: In response to the provincial State of Emergency, all services and meetings at Greenwood are suspended until further notice.
Pastor Brent remains available for pastoral care. He will be monitoring the church voicemail if away from the office.
For anyone wondering what to do about their tithing, you can send a cheque to the church or use https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/7828
A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR
All would agree that we are certainly living in strange and unusual times. The world has stopped – the majority of commerce, sports events, and all public gatherings are prohibited in nations around the world. People are hunkered down inside their homes, escaping only to purchase food and other necessities. Many have also become fearful due to these inordinate circumstances.
I recently spoke to an old friend of mine, who described his ordeal as a young boy during the second world war. His family would hide far down inside the subway tunnels in order to escape the bombings, and there his grandmother would read the Bible to him, particularly Psalm 91.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of he Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust.”
This is but the first verse, which promises us ample security and hope in Christ. The remainder of the Psalm is replete with promises of deliverance, protection, along with an exhortation for us not to fear.
I am also reminded of another occasion when God’s people were gathered together, this time in the upper room immediately following the death, resurrection and ascension of Christ. It was there that the disciples were among 120 believers who were told to wait and pray for the promise of the Holy Spirit. This they did, and as they waited, and prayed, suddenly God answered their prayer in a mighty way. The church was born, as well as a new era in world history.
During this time of confusion, uncertainty and fear, we as a church are not at a loss for what we can do. Let me encourage you to use this time of temporary lock-down as an opportunity to spend time in God’s word, and to pray. While the world has been rendered in many ways inactive, God is never inactive. He never slumbers nor sleeps. He is always at work fulfilling His purposes and plans for His people. In my opinion, the gods of sport, mammon and entertainment have all been muted in order to for the peoples the world over to hear the voice of God. This is a time for us to read, pray and speak of His great salvation and everlasting will.
As you know, we at Greenwood have suspended all activities until further notice. However, this does not mean that I as your pastor am hibernating until all this is over. I will continue to serve you by posting sermons online and, as usual, they will be on Cogeco each week.
Should any of you require any assistance, please feel free to call me. I am still available to visit if need be.
Again, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call anytime. Look forward to seeing you all again in the near future.

Weekly Sermon
Philippians 3:1–3 (ESV) "Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh. |
