Dear Church Family, There are few areas of our life that are not influenced by money. It impacts what cars we drive, what houses we purchase, and what kinds of entertainment we enjoy. Money, however, not only influences us it also is a barometer that measures us. On Sunday morning we will be examining Matthew 6:19-24. The title of the message is “The Spiritual Barometer: Money.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Proverbs 11:25, Luke 12:13-21, and I Corinthians 16:1-2. I am looking forward to delivering this always timely message. May the Lord keep your heart focused on Him. God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, There are many things in life that are underrated. What is considered  underrated is truly in the eyes of the beholder. In other words, something that is underrated in my eyes may not be underrated in yours. All that being said, the most underrated spiritual discipline, in my humble opinion, is prayer and fasting. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Matthew 6:16-18. The title of the sermon is “Fasting With the Right Heart.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Esther 4:15-17, Isaiah 58:1-9, and Matthew 9:14-15. I am looking forward to sharing with you on Sunday  morning. We will also enjoy our first summer picnic on Sunday at 12:30 at the church. It should be a great day with each other and the Lord. Until Sunday, keep close to Jesus! Because of Him, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, There are so many things that require prayer. There are days when I think that I could spend the entire day in prayer and only scratch the surface of all the needs that require God’s Hand. I am so glad that the Lord gives us insight on how to pray more effectively. On Sunday morning we will be studying Matthew 6:11-15. The title of the sermon is “The Lord’s Prayer: Part III.” Other verses that will give you a window into Sunday’s time in God’s Word are Proverbs 30-8-9, Colossians 3:12-13, and I Corinthians 10:13. I trust that you will be better equipped to pray more effectively because of our time in God’s Word. May you enjoy the summer-like weather that is coming our way. God bless you and stay close to Jesus. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, There is nothing like coming into the presence of Almighty God and talking to Him as if we were face to face with Him. It is a humbling and rewarding dynamic of the Christian life. It certainly is a spiritual discipline worth working on and learning about. On Sunday we will be looking at Matthew 6:10. The title of the message is “ The Lord’s Prayer: Part II.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Psalm 2:6-10, Revelation 11:15, and Job 1:20-21. I am anticipating God’s good Hand upon us as we worship together and hear from Him through His Word. May you enjoy the glorious weather and spending time in prayer with our glorious Lord. Have a blessed day! Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Does it really matter how we address a person? Can I appropriately address a two year old in the same way that I would address a forty year old? How about addressing a respected public official in the same way that I would address my twelve year old daughter? Who a person is makes a difference in how formal and intimate we are as we converse with them. On Sunday we will begin our study of the Lord’s prayer. Our text is Matthew 6:9. The title of the sermon is “The Lord’s Prayer: Part I.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s precious Word are I Chronicles 29:10-15, Daniel 9:4-9, and John 17:1-5. I am, as always, excited to share with you the heart of our heavenly Father. May you enjoy our Father’s goodness and grace between now and when we meet again. God bless you and have a wonderful Day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, It’s a humbling reality that we can be less than noble even when we are doing something that in and of itself is noble. That includes entering into the presence of Almighty God. On Sunday morning we will be examining Matthew 6:5-8. The title of the message is “Praying with the Right Heart.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Matthew 23:2-7, Isaiah 1:15, and Jeremiah 23:23-24.  May the Lord give us hearts that worship Him on Sunday morning. May the Lord also find each of our prayers pleasing in His sight today. God bless you and have a wonderful day! IN His Matchless Grace, Pastor...
