Dear Church Family, When it comes to the Lord we can have one of three attitudes. We can be hot, cold, or lukewarm. I would think that God would prefer someone to be lukewarm rather than cold towards Him. I also would be wrong. On Sunday morning we will be enjoying another week in the gospel of Matthew. Our passage is Matthew 11:20-24. The title of the sermon is “The Sin of Indifference.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in His word are Genesis 19:23-25, Matthew 23:14-15, and Revelation 3:14-16. I am looking forward to sharing truths from this startling text. May you love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your might, and all of your strength. Have a glorious day In Jesus! For His glory, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Nobody likes rejection. The dictionary defines rejection as “ The act of not accepting, believing, or considering something.” When our ideas or opinions are vehemently rejected, we feel spurned as well. There are few causes that are as noble than to be rejected for the One who could write a book on rejection, the Lord Jesus. On Sunday morning we will be studying Matthew 11:16-19. The title of the message is “Rejecting Christ and His Servants.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Psalm 22:6-8, Isaiah 49:7, and Isaiah 53:1-3. I’m looking forward to sharing insights from this entertaining text with you. May you enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and have a blessed day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, I occasionally run across a list of the best of 5 presidents in our nation’s history. That list will be very similar to another person’s list of the 5 worst presidents in our nation’s history. There is little agreement on what makes a great president let alone who meets the predetermined criteria. True greatness is difficult to define and equally difficult to evaluate. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 11:11-15. The title of the message is “True Greatness: Part 2.”  Other verses that will assist in preparing you for our time in God’s word are John 6:27, Acts 16:29-31, and Colossians 1:27-29. Let’s pray that God gives us a glimpse of His greatness this Sunday morning. May each of us see greatness as God does and encourage one another in living for Jesus. Have a wonderful day! Because Of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family Last week I was reading the front of a Wheaties box that displayed a picture of Mohammed Ali. Below the picture I read the words “The Greatest of All Time.” I researched his boxing record. It was a sterling 56 wins and 5 losses. I then discovered that Joe Louis had a 66 win and 3 loss record and that Rocky Marciano posted an amazing 49 win and 0 loss record. Why do many consider Ali the greatest of all time? It’s because he repeatedly told everyone that he was. That raises the question, “ What is true greatness in the eyes of God?” On Sunday we will be exploring that question as we study Matthew 11:7-10. The title of the sermon is “True Greatness: Part I.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are I Samuel 1:11, Matthew 20:26-27, and Ephesians 4:14. I am blessed to be able to share with you truths from His word on Sunday. May each of us strive to measure greatness like God does. God bless you and have a tremendous day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, One of the most distressing feelings occurs when we are exceedingly confident about something and then we are flooded with fearful doubts. Being confident and wrong is far less emotionally taxing than being right and full of doubt. This Sunday morning we will continue our journey through the wonderful book of Matthew. Our text will be Matthew 11:1-6. The title of the message is “Overcoming Doubts.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Psalm 42:11, Romans 15:4, and James 1:6-7. I trust that you will be blessed as we gather together on Sunday morning. Shortly after the second service our ladies will enjoy The Ladies Friendship Banquet. It should be another great day! Until Sunday, may your hope be fixed on the Rock of Ages. Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Love is a splendid dynamic in life.  Here are some quotes about love. “All you need is love.” “ You call it madness, but I call it love.” “ A life lived in love is never dull.” Love is wonderful, but love can also get us into trouble. We can love the wrong person. We can love the wrong thing. We can love the right thing too much, that is, we can love anyone or anything more than God. On Sunday we will be looking at the classic passage, Matthew 10:34-39. The title of the message is “ The Marks of a Disciple: Part 4.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 13:44, and Philippians 3:7-9. May the Lord use this penetrating passage to melt our hearts for Him. May you love Jesus first today and every day. God bless you and keep your eyes on Him! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...
