We are so happy to have your wonderful son and daughter in law as part of our Bethel Church Family!! 00:12:58 Jonell Johnson: Rev Carrington Moore is a brilliant teacher and lover of the Lord and the Word of God. We enjoy learning and growing in the Word under the direction of Rev Carrington. We understand that Rev. Carrington is Church of God In Christ, but while the Lord allows him to fellowship with him and his lovely wife - we soak in the blessings of his teachings. 00:13:52 Carole Copeland Thomas: You can watch the reply of last week’s Bible Study at www.WednesdayTeachIn.com. 00:14:45 Jonell Johnson: Prayer Request: Please remember Sister Tracie Ellison who just returned home from minor surgery today. Pray her healing and recovery. 00:18:12 Jonell Johnson: Rev Carrington speaks about his father all of the time. In season and out of season.. Rev. Carrington loves his father. Rev George Carrington we are blessed to have you with us today. 00:19:25 Cammie Browne: Your dad has done a great Job passing the baton!!! 00:19:39 Jonell Johnson: Glory to God... Greeting to you Pastor George Wesley Moore. 00:19:45 Cammie Browne: What a blessing. LOL 00:20:15 Marie Doubleday: Happy birthday Cammie!!! 00:21:10 Jonell Johnson: Amen Amen 00:21:23 Cammie Browne: Amen 00:21:49 Jonell Johnson: We love you Sister/Soror Carole 00:21:57 Cassie Quinlan: A chip off the old block! Welcome hello to father Moore 00:24:34 Carole Copeland Thomas: Happy Birthday, Sis Cammie!! We wished you HAPPY BIRTHDAY and sang to you and Sis Marie Doubleday!!! Enjoy your BIG DAY for the rest of May!! 🌹🌹🌹 00:25:05 Carole Copeland Thomas: Thank you Soror Jonell!! 00:25:56 Cammie Browne: Thank you Bethel family and guest. Had early dinner with my favorite girls - Mom and J 00:26:41 Cammie Browne: Happy Birthday, Marie Doubleday 🥰 00:27:06 Carrington Moore: How do you articulate purpose to others? 00:28:27 Jonell Johnson: Prayer Request: Please continue to keep my son Rev. James Akwasi Boateng in Prayer. He has developed Diabetes and almost died last week. The hospital missed it and he was taken to another hospital who saved his life. This is all slowing down the healing of his left femur fracture. 00:28:41 Emmett Bell-Sykes: Hit ‘em with “us” that's GOOD!!!! 00:33:36 Emmett Bell-Sykes: Funny content in a good situation CAN be bad, but being content in a less-than-perfect situation can be a good thing…🤔 00:36:47 Carrington Moore: What keeps your satisfied? 00:36:52 Emmett Bell-Sykes: ...and how we feel about ourselves 00:37:12 Carrington Moore: What keeps your heart satisfied? 00:37:50 Emmett Bell-Sykes: ouch! 00:38:46 Ashley Porter: Have you maximized yourself in the position that you have ? Whew 😅 00:38:54 Cassie Quinlan: Advertising and media can offer endless temptations.. 00:39:29 Emmett Bell-Sykes: AMen, Cassie and Ashley 00:40:32 Jonell Johnson: Love fellowshipping with the Saints. Feeding on the word and the anointing on Sunday Morning Worship in person and on Zoom. 00:40:46 Albert Coombs: Fellowshiping with other believers 00:40:55 Denise Montgomery: Happy home 00:40:59 Jonell Johnson: Loving my walk with the Lord and the way I see my prayers answered. 00:41:06 Jonell Johnson: Newlywed !! 00:41:08 Emmett Bell-Sykes: the blessings of my marriage, my family and my friends... (and the loving Bethel family) - corny, perhaps but true 00:41:52 Emmett Bell-Sykes: 20yrs for me and my spouse this summer!!!! 00:41:53 Beverly Williams: yes, you get disappointed when you don’t get what you expected to get. 00:42:19 Emmett Bell-Sykes: That’s real, Sis Beverly 00:42:36 Felicia Wiltz: Sometimes it becomes easy to slip into that worldly view of coveting what someone else has or listening to what our society says about what is “good”, “success”, or “happiness”. I have to remind myself that what God has for me, It is for me. And what God has given me is good - He will only give me good. 00:42:38 Marie Doubleday: Being thankful for what God has created: watching the birds, nature, etc. 00:42:46 Cassie Quinlan: Actually, when I'm short on cash and choose to manage without spending more, I find myself forced to solve something myself, instead of buying something shiny. I find it suprisingly encouraging to tackle complex projects and find that I can bring order myself - surprise and content. 00:42:49 James Williams: When we receive a confirmation from God that our prior efforts where “God in action”. 00:44:04 Emmett Bell-Sykes: deep, Cassie 00:46:02 Darcel Boone: Amen, preach, Pastor Moore 00:46:58 Joyce Simms-Tyson: Attitude of gratitude in the small things on a daily basis. Be careful of your motive. Know that everyone has a cross to bear. We may see the glitter, but not knowing what’s going on behind closed doors. 00:47:26 Cassie Quinlan: thanks Emmett. I've been surprised. First grumble, complain, pray.... then see if I can bring more of what I wish for, but deliberate project. Try, and surprised to succeed! As Father Moore said, what do I put in to bring some of what I want, versus what should I be getting out of it. 00:48:46 Emmett Bell-Sykes: @Sis Cassie - that proves that God supplies you with what you need to make yourself satisfied. Him in you. 00:49:52 Cassie Quinlan: Yes. Sometimes what we need is just more rest, other times try new. 00:49:58 Felicia Wiltz: Amen, Sis Cassie. 00:50:32 Jonell Johnson: Question: Rev. George Wesley Moore - what are some of the nuggets you can share with us about raising your children in the Lord???? 00:51:19 Cassie Quinlan: Yes - the droughts teach us too. 00:51:45 Janis Johnson Herbert: I do not know about anyone else but I have to remind myself of what I actually have. We have been programed to want MORE, need MORE. We are products of capitalism. We have to take time out to look at what God has given us already. 00:52:11 Beverly Williams: Amen Cassie. the valley experiences focuses you for sho! 00:52:22 Emmett Bell-Sykes: SPIRITUAL MATURITY - YESSSSS! 00:52:34 Felicia Wiltz: Yes, Sis Janis. 00:53:02 Cassie Quinlan: Yes Janis - there are newer and better gadgets to do everything we want to do!! 00:53:47 Jonell Johnson: Repetitive Tests - Oh Lord !!! 00:56:55 Jonell Johnson: 40 miles 00:57:06 Darcel Boone: With God as our Guide, we will always succeed in reaching our destination. 00:57:35 Cammie Browne: LOL 00:57:47 Emmett Bell-Sykes: Did they send the rest to your Dad???!!! 00:57:47 Carole Copeland Thomas: That was your gas money!!!!! 00:57:53 Beverly Williams: lol 00:58:18 Cassie Quinlan: Yes, Rev....!! Thats when we get envious - when we think someone should give us a certain amount, and they do not do that!!! 00:59:44 Cammie Browne: Amen 01:01:02 Cassie Quinlan: My my. Amen. Have to choose contentment. 01:01:16 Emmett Bell-Sykes: …daily 01:02:42 Denise Montgomery: Lots of great wisdom. Thank you so much! 01:03:45 Joyce Simms-Tyson: It’s a mindset. It’s being intentional, trusting God despite what you feel or see in a certain situation. I agree Cassie. It is a choice. 01:04:37 Darcel Boone: Amen, Amen, and Amen 01:05:16 Carrington Moore: I am reading this chat and...….y'all ain't right. You all got jokes today I see 01:05:24 Emmett Bell-Sykes: THE CHAT HAS BEEN ON FIRE TONIGHT… all stimulated by great prompts and a great topic 01:06:59 Cassie Quinlan: I also have found..... new insight can be found on the internet - from people who have gone through things that I went through that family or local people did not. So I think that despite losses, God has given us resources of of many kinds. 01:07:44 Emmett Bell-Sykes: “It's the grateful who grow; it's the thankful who thrive” 01:08:33 Jonell Johnson: Mourning and grieving is so much a part of the healing. 01:10:33 Cassie Quinlan: Yes - prayers. for it was so deliberate. Makes you pause. 01:10:35 Beverly Williams: Not a popular opinion, but we don’t mourn enough for the other lost 01:11:15 Emmett Bell-Sykes: The NRA and the gun lobby is TOO powerful 01:11:32 Jonell Johnson: Romans 12:21 Be not overcome with evil 01:11:51 Beverly Williams: Amen 01:11:59 Jonell Johnson: Overcome evil with good. 01:12:29 Cassie Quinlan: With so much frequent fatality from guns, it is so easy for discouragement to set in, any direction seems impossible. 01:12:59 Emmett Bell-Sykes: @Jonell - thanks for putting the script reference in the chat 01:13:09 Jonell Johnson: Is this a sign of the times Is it a sign of the end times??? 01:16:11 Emmett Bell-Sykes: @Sis Joyce - amen! thank you 01:17:25 Cammie Browne: Gratitude brings about a spirit of peace. I am very content in whom I am. I am truly do not have any regrets in Life. All things continue to work together for HIS greatness. 01:17:50 Carrington Moore: Amen sister Cammie. That is a beautiful place to be in 01:17:53 Emmett Bell-Sykes: well said, sis cammie! 01:18:49 Joyce Simms-Tyson: This has been a season of grief that continues to pile up every time we turn on the news with another situation. This is very traumatic to our brain, thought process, and our emotions. We need to find a way to talk about our feelings and how it’s impacting us daily when we hear these things. 01:19:33 Cassie Quinlan: It is hard to think of grocery stores in the same way now. I'm in a white community, but the realization is right there, in all stores. 01:20:48 Carrington Moore: Cassie I agree. I felt a little triggered when I went into a grocery story the other day in Roxbury. I found myself shopping a little faster. 01:21:24 Cassie Quinlan: Tears. Absurd to have to be afraid when shopping. 01:21:25 Felicia Wiltz: So true Sis. Joyce. The accumulation of this trauma is taking a toll physically, mentally and emotionally. 01:21:50 Emmett Bell-Sykes: @Marie - I love Oak Bluffs , but I know thee's racism on MV…unfortunately 01:21:57 Jonell Johnson: On Clark St in Mattapan 01:23:35 Cassie Quinlan: I also think that our society needs to have real conversations about the different values of indiidualism and competition that some see as valid goals of capitalism - AND explain more how to have individual responsibility in community also! Not opposites! 01:24:33 Cassie Quinlan: pray for America and world to learn, keep learning.. 01:24:38 Denise Montgomery: Thank you Sis Beverly 01:25:01 Beverly Williams: thanks for remembering Jonell 01:25:04 Carole Copeland Thomas: Continue to pray for Sis Pat Odom who is healing comfortably at home after restorative surgery connected to her recent mastectomy. 01:25:06 Jonell Johnson: Thank you Sister Beverly - I remember!!! 01:25:19 Cassie Quinlan: Yes thanks Beverly. So much. 01:25:48 Carole Copeland Thomas: Prayers for the Buffalo community in the aftermath of their weekend tragedy. 01:26:12 James Williams: Prayer that God will have the right Doctors and prepare me for surgery. 01:26:12 Joyce Simms-Tyson: Beverly, you raise some good points. Grief is hard and it’s personal. 01:26:13 Marie Doubleday: Please continue to keep my son's Arthur dear friend Travis in prayer. Travis is only 29 years old and over the past week it was discovered that his heart is working at 10% and will very likely require a heart transplant. No prior history of heart problems. 01:26:18 Emmett Bell-Sykes: Please pray for our young people dealing with angst and other issues as they prepare to leave home for college 01:26:28 Carole Copeland Thomas: Thank you, Rev. Moore for your wisdom as a father, husband, and minister!! 01:26:38 Cassie Quinlan: Thanks all tonight. And also Happy Birthday to Sis Cammie and Marie! 01:26:48 Hannah Brooks: I am so sorry I am late...the enemy made me late for my spiritual stuff today. 01:27:04 Beverly Williams: Thank you Rev Moore and Moore. Such a blessing! 01:27:07 Carole Copeland Thomas: Isaiah 15:7 01:27:14 Marie Doubleday: Thank you father and son Rev. Moore. 01:27:38 Marie Doubleday: Thank you Sister Cassie 01:28:15 Cassie Quinlan: Agreed with these thanks, special benefit for us tonight to have Moore family with us. 01:29:22 Jonell Johnson: Amen 01:29:42 Beverly Williams: Amen 01:29:56 Cassie Quinlan: We are lucky to have seasoned saints for pastors! 01:30:49 Cammie Browne: Glad to hear!!! Cant wait 01:31:14 Beverly Williams: But u have to open a Facebook account? 01:31:44 Jonell Johnson: Or is it Isaiah 50:7 01:31:54 Joyce Simms-Tyson: Rev Moore, thank you for your presence with us tonight! Good word! 01:32:22 Beverly Williams: This is Us!!!!!! 01:32:35 Cammie Browne: Thaaaaank You! 01:35:12 Cammie Browne: Blesssings 01:35:22 Suzanne Ricco: Good night 01:35:48 Darcel Boone: Thank you, and good night.
