Dear Church Family, We all have our weaknesses. It is part of the human condition. Sometimes we are unaware of our weaknesses. Other times we are painfully aware of our weaknesses. We can struggle with anger, pride, a lack of confidence, lust, an uncontrolled tongue, impatience, and the list goes on and on. On Sunday morning we will be looking at a classic text. The passage is Matthew 7:7-11. The title of the message is “God’s Help For Our Weakness.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Isaiah 49:15, Ephesians 6:18, Colossians 4:2. I trust that you will be blessed by our time together. Our last summer picnic will be Sunday at 12:30. It should be a great day! Until Sunday may you enjoy sweet fellowship with Jesus! In the Palm of His Hand, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, People that we know and love don’t always respond favorably to the gospel. This is a sad but true reality of life. Their response can get pretty demeaning at times. That raises the questions, “ Are there times when I should not share the gospel with people?” “ Am I right to judge them as not worthy of hearing the gospel at this time?” On Sunday morning we will seek to answer these and other difficult questions in a message titled, “ Judging Properly.” Our text is Matthew 7:1-6. Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Proverbs 13:1, Matthew 10:14, and 2 Timothy 4:14. May the Lord bless His Word and our time together on Sunday morning. May God’s grace overflow in your life in the days that lie ahead. Have a wonderful day and keep serving Jesus! Because of Him, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, One of the great robbers in life is worry. Worry robs us of our peace, joy, and contentment. Worry takes away our confidence, our hopeful anticipation, and our intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit. It is a culprit that needs to be handcuffed and arrested. We all need help to conquer worry. On Sunday morning we will be examining Matthew 6:25-30. The message title is “Cures for a Worry Wart.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Job 38:41, Philippians 4:6-10, and I Peter 5:7. I trust that you will be encouraged by our time in God’s word on Sunday morning. At long last the new church parking lot will be laid this coming week. Thank you for understanding that the church facility will not be of use almost the entire week. Don’t worry, it will be worth the wait. Until Sunday, God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

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...
