Dear Church Family, Great areas of theology all have aspects that we don’t understand completely. That is as it should be. Do we really believe that we should be able to nail down every jot and tittle when it comes to understanding the eternal, infinite, Almighty God? On Sunday we will be looking at one such incomprehensible doctrine. Matthew 21:18-22 will be our focus. The title of the message is “Faith and the Fig Tree.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Isaiah 5:3-7, Romans 4:19-21, and James 5:16-18. May God bless our time together. May you live for Him as you seek to trust the One whose greatness is beyond our comprehension. Have a wonderful day in Him. Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, It’s pretty easy to discern when a person is working or not. They can fool us for a season, but we will catch on in time. Discerning when God is working in someone’s life can be a bit more problematic. We may notice patterns, but that is the best that we can do. On Sunday morning we will be studying Matthew 21:14-17. The title of the message is “The Hurting and the Hardened.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time together are Psalm 34:1-3, Isaiah 57:15, and Matthew 9:11-13. I trust that you will be blessed by our time together. May your heart be tender and receptive to the Lord, today and always. Have a blessed day! In His Matchless grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, There are some sins that are acceptable, even in Christian circles. Complaining, gluttony, and worry come to mind.  One sin that has gotten less favorable over the years is anger. Both in society and the church getting angry is increasingly frowned upon. On Sunday we will be examining Matthew 21:12-13. The title of the message is “When Being Mad Isn’t Bad.” Other verses that will prepare your heart for our time in God’s word are   Psalm 69:9, Proverbs 25:28, and Hebrews 1:8-9 I trust that the Lord will meet us on Sunday morning. May you love the things that God loves and hate the things that He hates. God bless you and keep your eyes on Jesus. IN Hs Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, “What does a win look like in this situation?” I asked this question to a pastor friend of mine recently and the good Lord used that question to help him discern if he should have a meeting and what he was trying to accomplish at that meeting. Was our Lord’s “triumphal entry” really a triumph or was it really something less than a triumph? Was it a win? On Sunday we will be continuing our study of Matthew’s gospel. Our text is Matthew 21:1-11. The title of the message is “Lessons from the Triumphal Entry.” Other verses that will prepare you for this interesting text are Psalm 118:22-29, John 6:15, and James 4:1-3. I trust you will be blessed by this fascinating passage. May the Lord teach you lessons as you walk through life. God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, We all are saddled with imperfections. We can’t help it. It’s part of the human plight. This makes forgiving and being forgiven on of the absolute necessities of living a joyful and satisfying life. Forgiving, however, is at times easier said than done. On Sunday morning we will be confronted with one of our Lord’s most impactful stories. Our text is Matthew 18:21-35. The title of the sermon is “Learning to Forgive God’s Children.” Other verses that will prepare you for this pertinent and important message are Exodus 34:6-7, Ephesians 4:32, and Philemon 8-12. May the Lord bless our time together. I pray that you might forgive as you have been forgiven. God bless you and stay close to Jesus. Because of His Magnanimous Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Leadership is a privilege and a challenge. This is true in any area of life, but is especially true in the area of spiritual leadership. Money, promotions, and termination are not motivating factors when it comes to influencing people spiritually. How does one go about impacting others when only God can change hearts? On Sunday morning we will be looking at Acts 20:25-31. The title of the message is “the Marks of a Spiritual Leader.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Psalm 78:70-72, Ezekiel 34:11-16, and Colossians 1:24-29. During the second service the message will be part of Bob Cameron’s ordination service. It should be a great day! May the Lord grant you the privilege of spiritually influencing others. Have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...
