A Sabbath Prayer

Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Allow me, the sinner you have called, to summit the high calling you have placed in my life. Allow me to be like Jesus. When I am blessed help me to lift my voice in praise. When I am devestated let me praise you louder still. In the calm of day or in the midst of storm let praise flow from my lips to honor you. I have looked upon my life and found nothing worthy to offer you yet I have the canvas of my heart. Paint upon it the portrait of my desire that the light of my most precious Lord will shine forth. May it be that between Jesus and I there be no variation in will, in dream, and in love. Let me Lord assail to the pinnacle that I might serve well. Lord let me be like my Jesus. Amen

I hope for you all a blessed Sabbath.

Bible Studies Posted
The bible studies that were posted on the old site are now back online. There are other studies I can post but I am waiting for permission from Light Bearers to do so. I posted the studies in Daniel and Revelation because I had secured permission previously. May God bless you as you use these tools to His glory.

Domains Secured
I have finally secured the pastorbradhyden.com domain and it now functions as a redirect to the pastorbradhyden.net domain. In addition I secured pasorbradhyden.org in order to facilitate web navigation with the three most popular web url designators available. I think that I will be able to move forward now and complete the design of the site and regain any viewer of my site that accessed through the .com address.

Donations

I have now added the ability to offer you an opportunity to help support the upkeep of this website and the ministry it performs. The donations link gives you the opportunity to donate in multiples of five or in blocks by choosing one of six donation packages. If you choose to help offset the costs of this website I wish to thank you.

I am not registered as a non-profit organization so all donations must be considered non-tax deductible. I do plan to register sometime in the future.

Added Format
For ease of using this website I have added a seperate blog frame for the most recently added information. I have called this my quicklinks blog. Everytime you visit the site current sermons, audio files, or video files can be found immediatly in the quicklinks blog. As the file ages it will progress from the quicklink blog to an archive blog where it will be more easily recovered and used.

Happy Sabbath

Happy Sabbath everyone. Today was a great day in Jesus. I was blessed to be able to share with the congregation from 1 Corinthians 11. It has always struck me as odd that we use a few verses from that chapter in the communion service. I am struck odd because that chapter is one of the great rebuke letters of the bible. Unfortunately the sermon was not recorded. I will publish a home recording of the sermon sometime tomorrow. Meantime the latest sermon that I have that isn't yet posted was from two Sabbaths ago.

Groanings is one of those sermons that I preached for my own hearing. I hope that God blesses you as you listen to it.

"Groanings" Romans 8:26-27

Latest Updates

Well I have cut a big chunk out of the tasks I needed to get accomplished. I plan to add a few more pages to the site with useful information and links. I do not know how soon that I will get these accomplished but hopefully it won't take me to long.

Tomorrow at church it will be communion Sabbath. I have planned a short talk/study on the communion and what it means to partake of it unworthily. Next week I will be out of the pulpit because the publications ministry people has asked for a Sabbath to make a presentation. I gave them the 28th of July. That means the next installation of a sermon from the Letter to the Romans will be sometime in August.

Freedom 2007 evangelistic programs will be available online soon. I contacted robin Retzloff who is in the last stages of editing and producing. I hope to see them soon and get them out to the public.

Thank you for yor prayers and support and have a Happy Sabbath.

The Latest Tech Tragedy and Recovery

Wow. I can hardly believe I am back online. For those of you that are familiar with my web ministry you know I have been down for some time.

The site Pastorbradhyden.com was hacked and being the amateur webmaster that I am; I could not repair the problem simply and ended up losing it all. Nevertheless I was able to get a new domain, Pastorbradhyden.net and get back up and running. If you attempt to go to pastorbradhyden.com you will see some changes but ultimately it is just a holder page until the domain name drops off the face of the earth. I will probably have to call the webhost Bluehost and secure my rights to it so no one else uses it.

I will attempt to get this new site up and running quickly. I have some new ideas, some new technology, and some new motivation to make this site even better than the old one. I hope you find your way back here from time to time as I add new material and the latest sermons from the church I am pastoring.

I have incorporated the ministry I started under the title and logo, "Believe Ministries". I hope to expand this ministry to radio some day but baby steps first. Meanwhile enjoy this song from my good friend Pastor Jeff Paisley. He has a great talent and will hopefully find a way to use it more extensively for the Lord.

When You See Me by Jeff Paisley

Praise God for the miracle of getting me back online. May God bless you as you use this site in the future.
