Dear Church Family, I’m truly grateful when others are patient with me. It’s a form of extending grace and who doesn’t like grace extended them? On the other hand no one enjoys having their shortcomings rubbed in their face, but everyone loves when people take into account their human frailties. No one is more patient with us than God. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 26:47-56. The title of the message is “Our Patient Lord.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Exodus 34:6-7, Romans 15:5, and 2 Peter 3:9. May we grow in our appreciation of God’s patience with each one of us. Have a wonderful fourth of July weekend culminated by our worship of the King of Kings. Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, “We all stumble in many things” is one of the short yet poignant statements made by James. That is so true! You would think that we are pretty good at knowing how to think and react to our stumbling since we do it so often. That, however, is not so. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 26:31-35. The title of the message is “When We Stumble.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Proverbs 18:12, John 15:5, and John 21:15-19. May this comforting passage help us to see ourselves as the Lord sees us. May you experience the restoring power of the Lord today and every day. God bless you as you bask in the glory of His love. Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, “No one is perfect”  is a line that is frequently quoted and consistently receives nods of approval from a wide variety of people. I guess the statement is true if you exclude Almighty God. On Sunday morning we will be celebrating Father’s Day by looking at Matthew 6:9-13. The title of the message is “ The Perfect Father.” We will focus on God the father throughout most of the message to increase its applicability. Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Psalm 130:3-4, Psalm 121:1-8, and Philippians 4:19. May the Lord enable us to better worship the perfect Father. May you bask in the glory of a perfect Father regardless of your earthly father experience. God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Where is God when the sky is falling? Where is God when life doesn’t make sense? Where is God when evil wins and righteousness loses? He is where He is all the time, on His throne high and lifted up. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 26:14-25. The title of the message is “The Sovereignty of God in the Midst of Calamity.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in His one of a kind Word are Job 42:1-2, Proverbs 21:1, and Hebrews 6:19. I hope and pray that you are blessed by our worship and time in His Word. May the Lord prove to be the anchor of your soul in every season of life. God bless you and have a Christ-filled day! In the Palm of His Hand, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, We are beings who love. We love others. We love music. We love entertainment. Most of all, we love ourselves. No wonder God really seeks and deeply appreciates when we love Him. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 26:6-13. The title of the morning message is “Worshipping the Son of God.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Psalm 95:1-7, and Hebrews 13:15-16. What a wonderful text to study on Memorial Day weekend. May the Lord fill you hearts with an overflowing love and adoration for Him. Have a blessed Day! Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Some of the greatest theological questions revolve around the same theme. Is God responsible or is man responsible? Almost always the answer is the same, “Yes.” God works and even controls people and events and yet man is responsible for his choices. The dynamic is very real,  definitively fair, and thoroughly impossible to figure out. On Sunday morning will be looking at Matthew 26:1-5. The title of the message is “Two Sides of the Same Coin.” Other verses that will prepare your heart for this fascinating text are Genesis 24:27, Psalm 115:3, and Philippians 2:12-13. I am looking forward to being together and sharing truths from God’s precious Word. May the Lord guide you as you choose wisely to follow His ways. God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...
