2 Mission Statement The mission of the Greater Beulah Baptist Church is to spiritually equip those who are charged to go out and change a dying world. The Affirmation of Faith I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; The Third Day He rose from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to Judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, in the Baptist Church, the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of Sins, the Resurrection of Body and the Life Everlasting. Amen. Responsive Reading Matthew 13: Jesus told the crowd another story. Here is what the kingdom of heaven is like, he said. A man planted good seed in his field. 25. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came. The enemy planted weeds among the wheat and then went away. 26. The wheat began to grow and form grain. At the same time, weeds appeared. 27. The owner s slaves came to him. They said, Sir, didn t you plant good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from? 28. An enemy did this, he replied. The slaves asked him, Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds? 29. No, the owner answered. While you are pulling up the weeds, you might pull up the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the workers what to do. Here is what I will say to them. First collect the weeds. Tie them in bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat. Bring it into my storeroom.
