Dear Church Family, There are so many things that require prayer. There are days when I think that I could spend the entire day in prayer and only scratch the surface of all the needs that require God’s Hand. I am so glad that the Lord gives us insight on how to pray more effectively. On Sunday morning we will be studying Matthew 6:11-15. The title of the sermon is “The Lord’s Prayer: Part III.” Other verses that will give you a window into Sunday’s time in God’s Word are Proverbs 30-8-9, Colossians 3:12-13, and I Corinthians 10:13. I trust that you will be better equipped to pray more effectively because of our time in God’s Word. May you enjoy the summer-like weather that is coming our way. God bless you and stay close to Jesus. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, There is nothing like coming into the presence of Almighty God and talking to Him as if we were face to face with Him. It is a humbling and rewarding dynamic of the Christian life. It certainly is a spiritual discipline worth working on and learning about. On Sunday we will be looking at Matthew 6:10. The title of the message is “ The Lord’s Prayer: Part II.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Psalm 2:6-10, Revelation 11:15, and Job 1:20-21. I am anticipating God’s good Hand upon us as we worship together and hear from Him through His Word. May you enjoy the glorious weather and spending time in prayer with our glorious Lord. Have a blessed day! Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Does it really matter how we address a person? Can I appropriately address a two year old in the same way that I would address a forty year old? How about addressing a respected public official in the same way that I would address my twelve year old daughter? Who a person is makes a difference in how formal and intimate we are as we converse with them. On Sunday we will begin our study of the Lord’s prayer. Our text is Matthew 6:9. The title of the sermon is “The Lord’s Prayer: Part I.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s precious Word are I Chronicles 29:10-15, Daniel 9:4-9, and John 17:1-5. I am, as always, excited to share with you the heart of our heavenly Father. May you enjoy our Father’s goodness and grace between now and when we meet again. God bless you and have a wonderful Day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, It’s a humbling reality that we can be less than noble even when we are doing something that in and of itself is noble. That includes entering into the presence of Almighty God. On Sunday morning we will be examining Matthew 6:5-8. The title of the message is “Praying with the Right Heart.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Matthew 23:2-7, Isaiah 1:15, and Jeremiah 23:23-24.  May the Lord give us hearts that worship Him on Sunday morning. May the Lord also find each of our prayers pleasing in His sight today. God bless you and have a wonderful day! IN His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, The motives behind any action are important. We can receive a gift from someone that is motivated because they are grateful for something we have done for them or because they are buttering us up for a new request. We can go on vacation because we need some rest or because we can’t wait to get away from someone in our life. The possibilities are endless. In short, motives do matter. On Sunday morning  we will be studying Matthew 6:1-4. The title of the message is “Giving with the Right Heart.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are I Corinthians 3:11-15, Galatians 1:10, and Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. I am looking forward to sharing the mind of God with you on Sunday morning. May His face shine brightly upon you for the remainder of this week. Have a wonderful day in Jesus! Because of Him, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, God’s word has a way of showing us how short we fall of perfection. Jesus seems to specialize in this matter. Few statements illustrate how adept He is at shining the light on our imperfections than the command, “love your enemies.” On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 5:43-48. The title of the message is “ Love your Enemy.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in the word of God are Galatians 5:13, Proverbs 24:28-29, and Proverbs 25:21-22. I am sure that we will all be challenged and encouraged by our time together. May you enjoy the Lord’s good Hand as His sun shines on you today. God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...
