Welcome To The SBC Web-Site!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!  Hello, I am Rev. Michael R. Wilson the Pastor of the Second Baptist Church here in Medina Ohio.  First Lady - Sis. Geraldine Wilson and I, along with the whole SBC family consider ourselves extremely blessed that you took the time to stop by our website.  We pray that you find our site informative and helpful and that you are blessed by something on the site.

We are a church that has people that are very loving, warm hearted and enjoy worshipping the Lord and fellowshipping one with another.  We are a church that believes that the Holy Bible is in fact the inspired Word of God and that it is through that Word mankind is brought unto repentance, unto healing and deliverance by way of our Lord and Savior - Jesus the Christ - with all glory going to our heavenly Father.

We pray that if you are ever in the Medina Ohio area, that you would stop by and see us.  We would love to meet and worship the Lord with you.  If you live in the area, then come on over and fellowship with us for we truly believe that a mighty move of God is on the way.  Please feel free to use the pray request and guestbook to communicate with us.  Additionally, you can contact us at the number provided on this site - I would love to hear from you.

Our motto is "The Church of New Beginnings", therefore no matter what may have happened in your past - SBC is the place of your future.  So, come on and help us in the vineyard - for the Lord is always looking for those that can help accomplish the expansion of his Kingdom here on earth.

May the Lord Keep you and bless you and may heaven continue to smile upon you!

C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Sanctify them through Thy truth."-John 17:17
    
    Sanctification begins in regeneration. The Spirit of God infuses into man that new living principle by which he becomes "a new creature" in Christ Jesus. This work, which begins in the new birth, is carried on in two ways-mortification, whereby the lusts of the flesh are subdued and kept under; and vivification, by which the life which God has put within us is made to be a well of water springing up unto everlasting life. This is carried on every day in what is called "perseverance," by which the Christian is preserved and continued in a gracious state, and is made to abound in good works unto the praise and glory of God; and it culminates or comes to perfection, in "glory," when the soul, being thoroughly purged, is caught up to dwell with holy beings at the right hand of the Majesty on high. But while the Spirit of God is thus the author of sanctification, yet there is a visible agency employed which must not be forgotten. "Sanctify them," said Jesus, "through thy truth: thy word is truth." The passages of Scripture which prove that the instrument of our sanctification is the Word of God are very many. The Spirit of God brings to our minds the precepts and doctrines of truth, and applies them with power. These are heard in the ear, and being received in the heart, they work in us to will and to do of God's good pleasure. The truth is the sanctifier, and if we do not hear or read the truth, we shall not grow in sanctification. We only progress in sound living as we progress in sound understanding. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Do not say of any error, "It is a mere matter of opinion." No man indulges an error of judgment, without sooner or later tolerating an error in practice. Hold fast the truth, for by so holding the truth shall you be sanctified by the Spirit of God.
