Dear Church Family, Thinking that we are superior to others is problematic.  Coming up with a way that is superior to others is a blessing. When God devised the plan of salvation through faith alone in the cross of His Son alone, it was both superior to other means and an unspeakable blessing. Tomorrow we will be looking at Romans 3:27-31. the title of the message is “The Superiority of Salvation By Faith.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s precious Word are Isaiah 43:10-11, Galatians 3:8, and Hebrews 10:9. I am looking forward to seeing you and believe that we all will be blessed by being together. May you appreciate how the Lord’s ways in every area of life are superior to man’s. Have a blessed day. See you in the morning! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, The longer I live the more uncertain life seems to be. There are few things in this world that are truly guaranteed. Most of the guarantees in life are in the spiritual realm and are connected to the One who does not change, the Lord. On Sunday morning we will celebrate the Lord’s resurrection. Our text is I Corinthians 15:20-28. The title of the message is “The Guarantees of the Resurrection.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Isaiah 26:19, Ephesians 1:10, and  I Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Dear Church Family, I always liked the saying “ I caught such and such a person’s hand in the cookie jar.” It’s a great picture of getting caught when we think that we could never get caught. That is a picture of everyone’s life before God. On Sunday morning we will be concluding our look at man’s plight. The title of the message is “What Can I Say?” The text is Romans 3:13-18.

Dear Church Family, One of the challenges of raising a child is to teach them to admit that they are wrong or guilty. It cuts against the grain of who they are. Feeling guilty is bad. Admitting that they are guilty is even worse. Adults aren’t much better. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Romans 3:9-12. The title of the message is “The Guilt of the World.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Proverbs 20:9,IIsaiah 1:5-6, and Jeremiah 16:11-12.
