Dear Church Family, I guess we all want what we want. It’s natural but not always wholesome, godly, or good. It’s especially wrong when our will conflicts with God’s will in our lives. On Sunday we will be studying Matthew 16:21-23. The title of the message is “Struggling With the Will of God.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are I Chronicles 21:1-2, Isaiah 55:5-9, and Colossians 3:1-2. It’s a wonderful dynamic to be submissive to the will of God. Have a blessed day as you submit your will to the One who loves you, wants to use you, and knows what is best for you. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

The title of the message is “The Master’s Teaching Methods.” Other verses that will prepare you for time in God’s word are Nehemiah 13:23-27, Luke 12:1,  and Galatians 5:7-9.

Dear Church Family, When someone is applying for a job and has little or no chance to secure the position, we would say that he is a bad candidate for the opening. When there is someone running for office and he has some major flaws, he is known as a bad political candidate. There is little hope for success in both situations. The same can be said of some people when it comes to knowing Jesus. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 16:1-4. The sermon title is “Bad Candidates for Salvation.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Exodus 16:16-20,  John 8:42-43, and Acts 8:9-21. I pray that the Lord will meet us in every aspect of our worship services. Have a blessed day and thank the Lord that your name is written in the book of life. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Persistence is a marvelous quality. The capacity to keep on when others have long given up has changed the course of history and the trajectory of peoples’ lives. It’s natural to be inspired by persistence, especially when it is expressed for the care or good of another. On Sunday we will be looking at Matthew 15:21-28. The title of the message is “The Mother Who Wouldn’t Let Go.” The qualities that we identify are true for anyone who perseveres in behalf of another. Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Isaiah 57:15, Psalm 95:6-7, and Mark 11:24. May the good Lord bless our time together. May you also experience the power of persistence as you persevere on behalf of others. May God bless you and keep you! In His Grip, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Life throws curve balls, monkey wrenches, and bloopers at us at the least expected moments. Through the disappointments, disturbances, and diabolical events of life there remains One constant. God is at work in behalf of His people. On Sunday morning at the 9:00 service we will hear the message “The Ultimate Promise.” Our text is Romans 8:28-29. Other verses that will prepare you for this foundational passage are Job 23:10, Romans 8:31-32 and Ephesians 1:11. I love the thought of sharing truths from this wonderful text with you.

Until then, rest in the truth that He is for you and working in your behalf. In His Incomparable Grace, Pastor...
