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!
Rev. Michael R. Wilson, Pastor
C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional
"Grieve not the Holy Spirit."-Ephesians 4:30 All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except He worketh in you to will and to do of His own good pleasure. Do you desire to speak for Jesus-how can you unless the Holy Ghost touch your tongue? Do you desire to pray? Alas! what dull work it is unless the Spirit maketh intercession for you! Do you desire to subdue sin? Would you be holy? Would you imitate your Master? Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality? Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardour for the Master's cause? You cannot without the Spirit-"Without me ye can do nothing." O branch of the vine, thou canst have no fruit without the sap! O child of God, thou hast no life within thee apart from the life which God gives thee through His Spirit! Then let us not grieve Him or provoke Him to anger by our sin. Let us not quench Him in one of His faintest motions in our soul; let us foster every suggestion, and be ready to obey every prompting. If the Holy Spirit be indeed so mighty, let us attempt nothing without Him; let us begin no project, and carry on no enterprise, and conclude no transaction, without imploring His blessing. Let us do Him the due homage of feeling our entire weakness apart from Him, and then depending alone upon Him, having this for our prayer, "Open Thou my heart and my whole being to Thine incoming, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit when I shall have received that Spirit in my inward parts."
