Dear Church Family, We all face problems. Some are more difficult and important to solve than others. There are steps that we should take to solve any problem. Joseph, the stepfather of Jesus is a wonderful example of how to solve a difficult problem. On Sunday we will be looking at Matthew 1:18-25. The title of the message is “How to Handle Difficult Problems. Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are I Samuel 30:3-6, Genesis 22:1-13, and Hebrews 11:24-27.

Dear Church Family, Researching one’s heritage has become big business. Multitudes have taken a saliva test, sent it in, and found out the makeup of their national origin. Others have done extensive research on their family tree, mostly for their own personal enjoyment. The Jews of our Lord’s day were interested in their genealogy for a number of reasons, the most important of which was to determine who might be their coming messiah. On Sunday we will begin our lengthy study through the book of Matthew. Our passage is Matthew 1:1-17 . The title of the message is “The Genealogy of the King.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Micah 5:2, Isaiah 7:14, and Zechariah 9:9-10. Jesus fulfilled these Old Testament prophecies which has tremendous implications for us. May you enjoy the hot summer days of July. Until Sunday, God bless you and stay close to Jesus the Messiah. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church family, One of the fastest and surest ways to stand out in a good way in our society is to be a man or woman of integrity. Integrity is in increasingly short supply. This provides us with a great opportunity to stand out for the Lord Jesus. On Sunday morning we will continue our series on the core values of Canton Grace Church. The title of Sunday’s sermon is “Core Value #4- Integrity.” Our text will be I Samuel 12. Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Genesis 20:2-7, Psalm 26:1-2 and Daniel 6:1-5. I am very much looking forward to sharing this important message with you on Sunday morning.  Until Sunday, may you shine for Jesus as you walk in integrity. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

The title of the sermon is” Core Value # 3- Grace.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time together in God’s Word are Psalm 84:11, Acts 4:32-37, and Ephesians 6:23-24. I am looking forward to meeting together in person again! May the Lord pour our His grace upon you and for you to grow in your ability to extend grace to others.

Dear Church Family, One of the qualities that is on the decline is the use of tact. The dictionary defines tact as “ an understanding of how to avoid giving offense.” It is not a virtue to tell the truth and to unnecessarily offend another person. Father’s also need to exhibit tact as they lead their families. On Sunday we will be celebrating father’s day with a gift for our dad’s and a message from Philemon 8-12 titled, “Tactful Persuasion.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are 2  Thessalonians 3:10-12, Proverbs 16:24, and I Samuel 25:23-26. We all need to be people who demonstrate tact in our relationships. May the Lord bless you as you relate to others with grace in the days ahead. See many of you on Sunday. In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...
