street missionary baptist church from 1898 until 2021 and beyond the maggot street missionary baptist church was formed 123 years ago in pages hall and the late reverend parker a ash was elected as pastor of the church it was reverend ash and a few dedicated members who purchased a site on maggot street and moved the church from pages hall at that time some of the deacons were ned boykins charlie lofton and alan brewer during reverend ash's tenure as pastor a new baptizing pool was installed and many improvements were accomplished reverend ash was soon called to a new field of labor and he resigned as pastor of maggot street missionary baptist church the late reverend b f oden succeeded reverend ashes the pastor of maggie street baptist church reverend oden was a wonderful pastor as well as a humble servant of god he did share in the progress of the church reverend odom was succeeded by the late reverend j h rose who was indeed a god-sent minister under his leadership the wooden frame was changed into a beautiful brick structure numerous accomplishments were made including adding two new deacons to the board reverend rose worked faithfully and untiringly until health led to his resignation unfortunately maggie street was again without a shepherd but praises be to god it was only a short period of time when their late reverend william riley haney answered our calling it was under his administration that we were able to purchase a parsonage for the church and many members were added to the church reverend haney ordained one deacon during his ministry he served well until he was called to another field of labor in detroit michigan it was unfortunate that we lost him the late reverend otis daniel jones was the next pastor of this church during his tenure several new deacons were ordained and additional features were added to the church reverend jones answered the call to pastor in another city succeeding reverend jones was the late reverend benny dansby lambert knowing the conditions of the church and in spite of many problems that confronted him reverend lambert accepted the call he was determined with faith in god working with the membership that god would see them through reverend lambert was called to another church and the late reverend russell beverly answered the call for pastor reverend beverly had a short term as pastor of this church his administration began in 1962 and ended in tragedy in august 1963. reverend breverly was a god-sent minister one that stood for right and righteousness our history would be incomplete without mentioning the late reverend roosevelt parks one who sacrificed and implanted his biblical knowledge as assistant pastor of magistrate for a number of years it was reverend parks who had to take a stand between the calling and resignation of each minister in the year of 1964 god sent us another minister the late reverend dr isaac leon ford senior being that he was the youngest of all that did not stop him from making tremendous progress worse cannot express his many accomplishments under reverend forbes administration 15 new deacons were added to the deacon board and several several of these deacons were made trustees many souls were added to the church our membership exceeded fifteen hundred in 1978 our dream for a new sanctuary became a reality under the tenure of reverend forbes he was a dynamic pastor preacher counselor administrator civic leader and friend to all on october 13 1984 reverend forbes answered a call and we all must someday on february 10

self-esteem and show that god is god of many chances to show forth the love of god by embracing and offering a place of comfort refuge and peace and most of all to bring the non-believers to jesus and

center also in september in 2007 under pastors pathways leadership we purchased a state of the art audio system our multi-purpose center has become a reality and to god be the glory amen and after 123

individuals have made to the growth and prosperity of our church family these are our pioneers a strong biblical foundation and supported our pastors all while providing strategic leadership that has kept our church family focused on the mark of the high calling our pioneers have led by example their lives have demonstrated that ordinary people can do extra ordinary things the common thread of these outstanding men and women of maggie street missionary baptist church was their love for god and obedience to god's word in return god has responded to their love and very powerful and meaningful ways which can be seen through the lives of so many people whom they have touched and welcomed to maggie street the maggot street missionary baptist church pioneers have held the name of jesus high

today and we're excited about being in church just to see some warm bodies and faces in the sanctuary it means a whole lot uh those of you uh who are preaching the gospel and you got to look into a camera lens and look at empty pews that's a tough thing to do but nonetheless god has equipped us to be able to do that and so i'm grateful for our praise team for you all doing all you do i'm grateful for the sound ministry and doing all you do the brothers the deacons who have taken the lead amen to make sure the church is sanitized and they are making sure that we are able to get here

county amen some some 20 some years ago god used us to do dynamic ministries in the country as we call it and god is still keeping us and giving us the ability to preach and do what he's called us to do in the area of ministry so i'm thrilled today i'm pleased today to introduce him as a brother as a friend as a confidant and i believe that he has a word for us in this season that we need to be encouraged in in what we are going through these are trying times these are difficult times but we serve an able god that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you and i can ever ask or think according to the power that works in us when you understand that greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world there's nothing that can stop you because if jesus if god before us who

house once again i'm no stranger here but first off i want to before i start saying anything i want to acknowledge my help the author and the finisher of my faith jehovah god adeniya my great lord elohim the most high god el rojo god who sees me there's nothing that goes on in this life of mine good or bad that he does not see he is my el shaddai the source of all of my blessings the sovereign of all my problems he is jehovah when i am faithless he is faithful anybody know that he's jehovah mcadiskim the one who chose me many of us think that we chose him but we need to understand that he chose us and i want the world to know that he thought enough a little old me to give me another chance on this side to try and make some things right for he called me to the other side he's my jehovah gyra and if i could call on david and he would come down and stand with me right now he would say he yields my roja my shepherd i know he would because he said the lord he is my shepherd he's my shepherd today to the angel of this house pastor e pettway my brother from another mother we go back some distance as he has said that god used us to pioneer down in otago county he used us to break some ground and change some lives and he's still using us even today he's my colleague and my friend one that would open up such a big heart on this great day to invite a little old preacher like me little old apostle like i to come and share with this great congregation on this special occasion to the first lady of this house first lady pam petway also my friend to all the preachers the clergy i see you all out there many of you thank you for being here today male and female deacons and the maggot street family let me just say again it's good to be here there are so many doors that are closed today there are so many churches that are afraid to open the doors and walk in but i heard in the word of god says now faith is not next year not five years from now but right now faith is the substance of things hoped for and it is the evidence of things not seen lord have mercy for 123. that's a long time 123 years maggot street has endured the test and wilds of the devil yet it is still standing there with our text ephesians 6 and 13 that has been chosen for the day typifies my laboring in this pulpit when we look at ephesians those of you that have your bibles not to step out of uh the order of this house but if you rule it stand to your feet with me and i was given the liberty when i was summonsed to call and and uh a minister in this place today my friend said let the lord use you now if he didn't say it he's a grown man he's standing right here he can speak for himself amen and so since he gave me that liberty i would like to kind of add just a little bit and get the reading out of the way so that we can get the preaching in the way so that we can let you go on your way ephesians the sixth chapter you chose the 13th verse i want to use 13-17 and i would also like to go to luke 21 and use 34-36 these are the words that we hear wherefore take unto you the whole armor of god that you may be able to withstand the evil day and having done all to stand excuse me stand there for having your lawns girded about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace above all taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench the fiery dots of the wicked and take the helmet of salvation and the soul of the spirit which is the word of god luke 21 34-36 says these words and take heed to yourselves least at any time your hearts be over charged with suffering and drunkenness and cares of this life and so that they come upon you unawares for as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face all of them that dwell on the face all of them say that includes me of the whole earth watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be accounted where there to escape all these things that shall come to pass to stand before the son of god this prayer father in jesus name now it's again god that we have entered into the walls of this place of worship to lift your name and to worship you father in spirit and in truth god reacts right now dear god that you will unstop the death ears that they might hear react that you would chip away the heart hearts that god they may be sensitive enough to receive and the minds that they might understand we pray god that the word that is about to come forth god that it would shake in this 123rd year of this church standing letting them know lord god that there has been and there will yet be good days and bad days there has been hills to climb and there will yet be more heels to climb but if they stay with you all things will work together for their good we pray now god that you will remove this vessel of clay and stand your holy spirit in my stead let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight for god you are my strength and my redeemer in jesus name we pray and god's children said amen amen and amen you may be seated in the presence of god before i began uh dissecting the text allow me to digress for just a moment is that all right you see i know that no one here has been here for 123 years we're celebrating 123 years but no one sitting in this congregation no one that is a part of the maggot street family has been here since the conception of magastry 123 years and i'm sure since the conception of this ministry patway there have been some difficult days there have been some good days and there have been some bad days there have been some heels to climb some stormy days pool there have been some that started out saying i'm going to stand to the end but along the way they fell away they decided that the journey was too rough it was too tough it was more than they bargained for so they decided that they didn't buy in for all of that so they turned and walked away you know it's it's it's a bad thing when you start out with somebody walking beside you you all have a vision and a plan to get somewhere or to do a specific thing but somewhere along the road you look for them and they're gone it kind of reminds me of paul in and on one of his missionary journeys and john mark started out with him john mark was eager he was enthusiastic he was ready for the task but along the way he decided he wanted to go back home a whole lot of folk will leave you and go back home wives will leave husbands husbands elite wives parents elite children children a lead preachers leave churches churches or get rid of preachers hello somebody yeah along the way a whole lot of things transpire and even if we engraft the time that many of you have been here well don't poop don't pop your brakes yet don't don't start looking at those that started out 123 years ago because some started out 20 years ago they not here today some started out 10 years ago they're not here today somebody even started out last year they're not here today and i'm not talking about the lord called them home i'm talking about they felt they needed to move on help me holy spirit yeah yeah yeah time brings about a change and when you start talking about 100 and 23 years you talking about several lifetimes when we look uh at this your thing you chose the thing from your text to say i'm still standing you made it personal you said i am still standing a lot of other people may have fallen but i am still standing there there are some that started out with me that have turned away but i you made it personal still standing well when we look uh uh at this word steel if you will allow me to still comes in at least four tenses this sti allele comes in the tents of a objective a noun a verb and an adverb i'm i'm i'm not going to take you to english class but i want to help you a little bit here when we because see see see the bible teaches us that here it is that way in all of thy getting get wet so so so you need an understanding why you are still come on grant standing see people stand for different reasons some stand for money some stand for prestigiousness some stand for recognition i'm gonna leave that alone but but but but you need to know why you are still standing uh-huh uh-huh still falls into these four categories the categorial tense of the objective uh is moving or making no sound not moving but it's still standing not making a sound but it's still standing it it's just there taking up space the noun tense to be in deep silence and stillness it's looking at everything is looking at everybody but even in the midst of it being there and standing there is stillness said i ain't gonna do nothing i'm gonna just watch and see how it's going to play out oh you got some look how y'all looking at me you you you you got some people like that they won't say anything they just stand back and watch the situation seeing how long it's going to be for it falls seeing how long it's going to be for the bottom comes out seeing if all of the promises gonna come together uh love for lady we going home when we get through here amen yeah yeah yeah see see see we've got to understand that even in the verb tense it falls under the third person the present and the past participle i'm here but i remember come on somebody i'm here now but i remember when you see y'all [Music] [Music] much more than just a statement the letters feel our right to use it to deal with it at better teach because it's shown continuing my but in my you see what we don't understand is that when you are standing you got to be standing with motion i may be without emotion but not motionless i may be silent but not silenced i might be quiet but not without anything to say about the word of god and his standards i'm still standing in a prolific continuum to say i still standing i shall not be moved from my standard of us say we faith faith but we are moved by every little bit of trouble you know me quiet when preacher the pandemic hid because all of this time maybe if you will allow me pam to go here first lady little uh 123 you appear saying that i believe and trust in god that way i got faith in god i got faith enough to move mountains yeah i've got faith enough that god can heal me i i've got faith enough that god can hold my family together i've i've got faith enough that god can strengthen my finances i've i've got strength enough to stand no matter what the enemy throw at me then the pandemic hit and when the pandemic hit faith left everybody the pandemic hit song went this way a pandemic hit storm went that way pandemic time went that way forgot the songs they've been singing when the pandemic hit it was a problem and i got worried because now i want to know where is your faith tell me wow eels your faith you still standing but why is your faith you say you're standing with god but where is your faith in god you say you're standing on the word of god but where is your faith in the word oh i got to leave that thing alone right there because because you see if if if i'm going to trust him it doesn't matter how many pandemics hit i'm gonna trust him so they're cut right where i am ah they used to sing a song long time ago somebody that 123 years probably remembered i shall not y'all ain't no 123 years old be moved i shall not be moved see see in that hundred grant in 23 years those old people had songs they birthed out of them yields you know what i'm talking about pool a charge to keep. ain't said nothing about a charles on where they got charles from but it's a a charge to keep ah hell and a girl even in the pandemic of god even with the racial tension of god even if i'm by myself a god to glorify they did they saying stuff like this the light they say stuff like bread of heaven feed me everybody might be hungry but feed me till i won't no more precious lord take my lead [Music] because i am tired i am weak i am warm lord him but y'all y'all sit down we just talking y'all yeah yeah we just we just we we just talking see see something was burst out of what those old people were going through and they were here able to say i'm still. standing well the question is and i'm almost through the question is where are you standing i like this part when god brought me right here i kind of i i i i really like this because i'm still standing but then the holy spirit kind of shifted my spirit and he said but but you need to ask them wow lord have mercy um [Music] you're standing because contrary to popular belief you can't stand over here with me when you're standing over there within where oh you're standing you you know it's a strange thing how we can stand in each other's face and declare that we love each other leave and go around the corner and began to talk about each other where are you standing we stand so many times with our mouth but not with our hearts that's another reason why i love david because david realized that he had made a mess of things he realized that it was something on the inside of him y'all need to hear this that wasn't right he knew that there was something on the inside of him pulling him to do some things that he wasn't pleased with he never took time see sometimes we just get caught up look how y'all looking at me i don't care i don't care just grant who you are is easy to get caught up you can talk about whoever you want to talk about but when the truth be told somewhere between your birth and where you are now you've gotten caught up and then the thing about being caught up or getting caught up here you never understand how you got caught up you have asked yourself the question how did i get here why am i here you've been you've been can can i just come down just a little bit you you haven't found yourself woof i need you right here with a man or a woman and you just shown up thought you was in love she was the best thing that could have ever happened to you have just the right length figure all in the right place he just as muscular as he can be got a conversation to wrap out this world and then all of the satin he or she does something that don't make any sense at all and you look at that thing and you say how did i get here and then you realize wait a minute i don't god hold up and the thing about being caught up supposed you can't just walk out of being caught up come on help me you you you just can't say well i'm caught up and just turn no no when you get caught up you stuck in you you you you you're trying to figure out what to do to get out of what you done got called up lord have mercy but yet as christians we'll come to church and we'll say yet i'm still standing but my question is where are you standing are you standing for what's good are you standing for what's wrong are you standing for yourself are you standing for me and you because for 123 years it wasn't one somebody that was just standing for themselves but they were standing together in the midst of the storms that came upon maggie street isaiah 41 says they helped every man his neighbor and everyone said to his brother be of good courage you've got to learn how to encourage one another you've got to learn how when you're going through uh you've got to have somebody to go through with you can remember down in a toggle count if pedway was going through little was going through too if little was going through something headway was getting up with me to go through it together well i know you're saying but we're talking about ephesians 6 and i'm glad that you reminded me of my text because i was on my way back there right now because it's no way for you to walk together except they are bill greed now i found now then if you i haven't been through anything you can't help me with what i'm going through yes sir you've got your get yourself a wheel the whole armor of god yeah now listen and what the word said wherefore won't take unto you the whole landmark of god you can't just be not dressed with some of the home of god and leave the rest alone now now but you've got to oh god watch this thing here i'm remembering when david got ready to go out and fight goliath saw came and said and put on my armor and go and fight the giant yeah david said wait a minute i have nothing to try joanna i don't know nothing about your armor but let me use [Music] what you already have tried and have a longer somebody here now around the done tried pain now somebody here have tried a prayer and they know that prayer changes things somebody ever tried fasting and they understand that this candle only come out through prayer in fasting yes i i am still standing now because i've on myself with the whole armor of god loud i hear somebody say in the day well now if you're standing tell me what you've been through let me come down you're out of the day well i've been sick but i'm still standing i've been lying on but i'm still standing i talked about the shoes born but i'm still standing today i'm drunk but i'm still standing today now i'm standing on the corner i got the lord on my side one thing the lord shared i won't ever leave you and i won't forsake you i'll be there now when everybody will walk off and leave you anybody [Music] and thanks got harder walking and your money got funny walking folks start talking bout you walking family leave you walking nobody else is there all of a sudden now you're walking and your arms get a little lined up you you're walking and you seem all alone you look back free name there you look around the family is gone and all you can do is say loud lord i'm still standing anyhow you reach up grab isaiah and i'll go if i have to go or by myself it needed a lonely road when you got to walk all by yourself but one thing perry i learned now walking by yourself can be all right walking by yourself remove the window walking by yourself helps you think a little better don't have everybody talking in your ear don't have everybody giving you their opinion i don't have everybody telling you what y'all to do all you got is you but wait a minute i found out something when i'm walking all alone i heard a story one time about a little boy walking down on the beach yeah he loved the loud believed in the louds trusted in the loud with everything he had everywhere he went the longer was right there beside him somebody asked him how do you know that the lord is walking with you he stands every now and then i look to the side and i can see another set of footprints walking on the side of me but one day i said one day i said one day i said one day one day the clouds rolled back one day the moon refused to shine one day oh loud the hoof began to rock and reel in the little boy lie he went back to the cross the little boy said i remember a time like this they said jesus had died on the cross but that's been over 2 000 years ago that time has gone on by i'm trying to figure out what's going on right now all of a sudden the little boy said well i'm not worried about the storm cause the world is walking with me [Music] no footprints was there the little boy got wear it he ran to a secret closet kneel down and begin to pray loud when it was not that bad you was right there when mama left me you were right there when my money ran out you were right there now love him we need you to move i look for you and i can't find you nowhere the lord said wait a minute you're misunderstanding what's really going home you see it was that time when you looked over and you saw my footprints you could walk on your own hey sometimes we want the round to do for us what we can do for ourselves but when it got time that you couldn't make it on your own i reached down i picked you up and i carried you through what you were going through that's why that's why that's why you didn't see but one set of footprints it got all right they weren't yours but they were man yes the little boy said lord that's good i can stand there for now i'm still uh i'm still standing i came by here to tell you maggie street many of them might be going on but you gotta stand in hell stand when they talk about you stand when they drag you stand when they won't sing in the choir stand when they wanna stand when they won't have a stand when they when the deacons lose their mind stand when the preachers go crazy stan when your wife walk off and leave you stand when your husband don't want to be there no more stand still standing i'm still standing out of all i've gone through i'm still standing and i'm standing over here i'm not standing in maggot street and another street but i'm standing over here you can't serve two masters and you can't follow two pastors y'all didn't hear what i just said you can't serve two masters and you can't follow two pastors either you're in oh you're not but you don't understand apostle you don't understand what all i've gone through since i've been here what you don't understand is that if god brought you through that he'll carry you through this if he bring you to it [Applause] he'll lead you through it but stop wanting god to do everything for you and learn how to do what you can do for yourself if you don't like your sister don't talk about them pray for you don't like your pastor don't tear him down pray for him if the deacons are not doing what you think they need to do don't go out and scandalize them pray for them because as long as you leave storms are going to rage and sometimes it's going to be hard to tell the night from day but all you've got to do is plant your feet and stand stand in your faith stand for what's right stand on the word of god forget about the storm peter did good as long as his eyes was on jesus it was when he took his eyes off of jesus or for the word that he began to sink stay focused on the word of god amen though the storms keep on raging in my life [Music] i got to go i got to go and sometimes it's hard till the night from day still that hope that life then is got to go as i keep mine eyes upon the distant shore i know he'll lead me safely to blessed place he has prepared and if the storms [Applause] and if the wind [Applause] [Music] keep on blowing [Music] lord is that all right is that all right let me just try to say that one more time one more time though the storms they keep on raging in my life [Music] and sometimes it's hard for me to tear the nights from dead still that hope that life in me is rehearsal as i keep mine eyes upon the distant shore i know he'll lead me safely to that blessed place [Music] she lord have mercy and if the wind [Applause] keep on blowing myself [Music] [Music] sometimes in my life i'm gonna be tossed by the race and the currents that she ain't so fear but in the world [Music] [Applause] [Music] and just in case the way i got to go the wind people my my my my soul stalls me [Music] amen what a powerful word we're still standing y'all we have been challenged through the preach word the question is asked where are you standing and what are you standing on my brothers and sisters the only thing that we can stand on is the word of god in a world of constant change there's only one thing that remains the same hebrews 13 8 says it jesus is the same today yesterday and to and forevermore so we can stand on the word of god having heard this preaching all of the social media platforms that the word of god god has gone out to maybe somebody don't know jesus maybe somebody don't know jesus even though millions have come there's still room for just one at the cross 123 years multiple generations from this church and other churches have been saved through the preached word of god and god uses the foolishness of preaching to get us saved so if there's somebody who don't know who jesus is i want to give you that opportunity to give your life to jesus here's what the word of god says if you would confess with your mouth believe in your heart that god has raised him from the dead that is jesus you can be saved you simply say lord forgive me for all of my sin come into my heart come into my life be my god occupy the throne of my life i denounce satan as lord of all my life and i declare that you are lord and you are god if you make that simple confession you can be saved find your good church to be a member of that teaches the word of god find your bible-based bible believe in holy spirit led church and go there and get taught the word of god you can give us a call at our church 334-263-3215 or

have done my wife and i we've we went above what we would normally do uh in our church because we believe that if we give to god he'll give back to us that's a principle that we live by we believe in
