For our 173 Anniversary service we have the Reverend Taurus Scurlock from the Mount Zion Baptist Church from the West side of Chicago. This is Reverend Scurlock's second appearance in the pulpit of First Baptist Church. For our Men's Day he shook up First Baptist with his plea that we not become "Church Daddies". This time Reverend Scurlock touches a nerve while teaching from Acts 10:28-35 he reminds us that the church just is not for those that are saved. It's for everyone that can be saved. We have to accept all with out question. There can be not if ands or buts. As Reverend Scurlock reminds us when faced with a expanding ministry there is not buts. We hope that Reverends sermon this week touches you as much as it touched us on our 173 Anniversay.

In this reading Mark relates how Jesus showed his disciples the difficulty a man would have trying to enter the dominion of God, and what a man should do to see that God would make this possible.
