Dear Church Family, There are a number of choices in life that we can make on our own. We can decide what shirt to wear each morning, what time to get up on our day off, and where to buy razor blades. There is no need to seek God’s will in any of those choices. However, I have seen countless times where followers of Jesus have choices that should drive to them pray that God would direct them into His perfect will and yet they think that they can decide on their own what to do to their own peril. On Sunday we will take a week out of our study of the book of Romans. The title of the message is “Praying for the Will of God.” Our text is Colossians 1:9-10. Other verses that will prepare you for our  time in God’s Word are Psalm 32:8-9, Psalm 143:10, and Romans 12:1-2. I believe that this message is relevant to all that call upon the name of the Lord. May the Lord fill you with the knowledge of His will today and always. Enjoy Jesus! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, It is an axiomatic truth that everyone will be judged and yet we all at times live as though we will not be judged. Perhaps it’s because we aren’t judged right away or that we think that we are doing better than we really are. The divine Judge will judge nonetheless. On Sunday we will be looking at Romans 2:6-11. The title of the message is “Divine Principles of Judgment.” Other verses that will prepare your heart for the message are Provers 24:11-12, Ecclesiastes 13:13-14,  and Revelation 19:1-2. I am looking forward to sharing with you on Sunday morning. May the Lord enable you to live in light of the Judgment Seat of Christ. God bless you, keep you, and may His face shine upon you! Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, I grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh called Penn Hills. Not surprisingly we lived at the top of a long, steep hill. While growing up, the hill did not pose a problem until a ball started to roll down the hill.  The key to catching up to the ball was to nab it before it picked up too much speed. The further down the hill the ball went the harder it was to catch up to it. The same is true in the spiritual life of an individual or a nation. On Sunday we will be looking at Romans 1:24-32. The title of the message is “Sliding Down the Slope of Sin.” Other verses that will prepare you for this remarkably pertinent passage are Genesis 34:30-31, I Corinthians 6:9-10, and Ephesians 4:17-19.  May the Lord’s Word not return to Him void this Sunday morning. God bless you as you strive to walk with Him avoiding the down grade. Have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

The title of the message is “The Wrath of God and Immoral Man.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s blessed Word are Numbers 11:1-2, Numbers 25:3-9, and Psalm 7:11.

In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, We all love good news. Everyone loves a raise, a good report from our doctor, an answer to prayer, and the healthy arrival of a baby. We generally associate good news with the gospel of Jesus Christ, but His birth was good news as well. On Sunday morning we will look at Isaiah 8:21-9:4. The title of this unique Christmas message is “The Good News of Christmas.: Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Judges 6:1-6, Isaiah 9:6, and John 1:4. Let us celebrate the birth of His Son on Sunday morning. May the Lord grant you some good news this week as we anticipate rejoicing over the good news of the birth of God’s Son.

Dear Church Family, One of the core values of my parents was to not do things half- heartedly. My father was a custom tailor so precision and excellence were high on his list of virtues. Half- hearted and insincere effort do not please our heavenly Father either. Serving with all our hearts brings a smile to His face. On Sunday we will continue our study in the book or Romans. Our text is Romans 1:11-13. The title of the message is “Serving With All My Heart. Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Numbers 12:1-3, Colossians 1:28-29, and Philippians 4:17. May the Lord bless our time in this meaningful passage. May your service be an act of worship to the One who gave Himself for you. Have a blessed day in Jesus! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...
