Closing Prayer ......................... Bro. Bob Tucker

greatest lesson I’ve learned in music ministry and ministry as a whole is keeping Jesus first and dying to your “self.’ God wants worshippers. People who love Him and want His name rather than their own praised. Dr. Johnny Hunt pastor of the First Baptist Church of Woodstock was asked how did his ministry become so large. His answer “Everything we do Jesus is First, His name is glorified!” If there’s anything I could say to up and coming worship leaders, future pastors, Christian educators and the like: Keep the name of Jesus and the person of Jesus first and die to self. It’s not a rock and roll show, however it’s a sacred desk that requires humility and a passion for Jesus. Please consider these two verses this morning:

John 12:32 “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

Phillppians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

The Worship Arts Ministry of Barnwell Baptist is blessed to have Ramcorps of the University of Mobile here with us today leading worship. Thank you to Dr. Mark Foley, President of the University of Mobile and to their director Dr. Kenn Hughes. The Southern Baptist Convention is blessed for the many institutions of higher education that are teaching and equipping tomorrows pastors, Christian educators, Christian nurses, Worship leaders, youth pastors and the list goes on and on. Barnwell Baptist today says thank you for coming and we are praying for all of you as you grow as men and women of the faith.

As I finished up high school at Tuscaloosa County High School I knew one thing, I wanted to be a music teacher. I never thought at that time I would be involved in church music as much as I am today. Education, experience and the grace of many in the local church has molded and shaped me in to the worship leader I am today. I love to learn and the

When the final brick was set into place, a massive three-story building stood on a red dirt

mound surrounded by hundreds of acres of dogwoods, oaks, and azaleas. That building,

the University of Mobile’s first classroom and administration facility, represented a

dream come true. For thousands of Alabama Baptists, as well as other church and civic leaders in Alabama, the opening

of the liberal arts college was the result of a decade of hopes, hard work, and prayer. The first building represented the

great things that could be accomplished when a community and denomination joined hands for a common goal - higher

education in the Christian tradition.

Chartered in 1961 as Mobile College, the institution celebrated decades of growth and success in 1993 by changing its

name to the University of Mobile. The story of the university began in 1952, when the Mobile Baptist Association

appointed a committee to study the feasibility of starting a Baptist - affiliated college in Mobile. In 1959, the Alabama

Baptist State Convention agreed to build and operate a college if the Mobile community would raise $1.5 million within

two years. Only one year later, area churches, businesses, and industries pledged more than $2 million to the effort.

Throughout the decades, the university has maintained a highly dedicated faculty providing students quality Christian

higher education. From its rich past to a future bright with promise, the University of Mobile continues to be a thriving

institution dedicated to helping students grow academically, socially, and spiritually.
