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...

Dear Church Family, At times everyone needs a spiritual pick me up. We are prone to discouragement when life disappoints or perhaps wounds us. What is needed is someone to pray for us that God is moved to strengthen our hearts and encourage our souls. On Sunday we will be celebrating Mother’s Day with a message that applies to mothers and all who aren’t mothers alike. Our text is Ephesians 3:14-21. The title of the message is “The Spiritual Pick-Me-Up.” Other verses that will prepare you for this very encouraging and applicable message are Psalm 27:13, Ephesians 6:10, and Revelation 3:20. I am looking forward to sharing with you one of my favorite prayers in the Scriptures. Have a blessed day and be a blessing as you pray in behalf of others. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, I have noted that relational difficulties are more draining than circumstantial difficulties and the closer the relationship the more draining a spat likely will be. These hurts can arise in our family, friends, and church family. On Sunday morning we will be examining Matthew 18:15-17. The title of the message is “Restoring God’s Children.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are I Kings 18:15-18, Proverbs 25:15, and 2 Thessalonians 3:10-15. I am looking forward to our time together as we glean insights from this important portion of Scripture. May the Lord grant you peaceful and fulfilling relationships with others. God bless you and stay close to Jesus. Leaning On Him, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, One thing that almost everyone can agree upon is that children should not be abused. They should be treated with dignity, tenderness, and respect. Though we don’t often think about it, the same can be said about God’s children. On Sunday morning we will continue our lengthy study of the book of Matthew. Our text is Matthew 18:10-14. The title of the sermon is “Caring About God’s Children.” Other verses that will prepare your heart for this very encouraging message are Isaiah 40:10-11, Luke 1:19, and Acts 20:28.
