Dear Church Family, The longing of every believer’s heart is to be all that the Lord Jesus wants him to be. It is not easy as we all have many habits, memories, and bents towards sin to overcome. Fortunately, we have the resurrected Christ to help us in our quest. On Sunday morning we will be looking at Philippians 3:10-14 and Philippians 3:20-21. The message title is “How To Be All That Jesus Wants Us To Be.” Verses that will also prepare you for this Easter message are Romans 8:28-29, Philippians 2:12-13, and I John 3:1-2. I trust that you will be blessed by our time in God’s Word and by our worship of the resurrected Lord. At 10:00 am on Sunday we will enjoy breakfast together in the fellowship hall, always a wonderful time. Until Sunday, may you enjoy the resurrection power of Christ working in you. By His Grace, Pastor...

Dear church family, Nobody likes to be criticized. Even though some criticism is helpful and needed we don’t look forward to receiving it. However, it is considerably more difficult to handle criticism that is unfair. That takes wisdom, humility, and grace. On Sunday we will be studying 2 Corinthians 11:5-11. The message title is “Handling Unfair Criticism.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Proverbs 27:5-6, Psalm 7:8-9, and Psalm 141:5. I am looking forward to sharing with you on Sunday morning. On Sunday evening we will enjoy communion and the affirming love of God’s people. Until then, may you bask in the glory of God’s uncondemning love. God bless you and have a wonderful day! Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, When going to high school or college, many people have a preoccupation with grades. Even though some teachers and schools have a tougher grading system than others, we still compare peoples’ grades from different schools as though it is an apple to apple comparison. However, in the long run the grading system that matters the most is God’s. On Sunday we will continue our series in 2 Corinthians. The text is 2 Corinthians 10:12-18. The title of the message is “God’s Grading System.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Proverbs 16:2, Psalm 86:12, and Romans 2:28-29. May the Lord bless His Word as we come to worship Him together. Enjoy the first day of spring! God bless you and have a wonderful week. Because of Jesus, Pastor...

Dear Church family, Order is a wonderful thing. Order in our life provides stability, peace of heart, direction, and a sense of purpose as we play our role in society, work, our family, and church. Without order life simply does not function properly. That is why it is essential that we exercise authority properly and submit to authority in our lives. On Sunday we will be looking at 2 Corinthians 10:7-11. The message title is “ I’ve Got Authority, Now What?” Other verses that will prepare you for out time in God’s word are I Corinthians 4:18-21, Philemon 8-9, and Galatians 1:1. I am excited about sharing God’s Word with you on Sunday. May you experience God’s peace and direction as you submit to His authority today. God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, We have all been in situations where we have tried to talk to someone who is dead wrong. They may be wrong about what they believe about salvation. They may be wrong about their belief in how a relationship should work. They may be wrong about their opinion about us. Talking to them is like talking to a brick wall. How do we handle such a situation? On Sunday we will be examining 2 Corinthians 10:1-5. The message title is “ Spiritual Weapons for Spiritual Battles.” Other verses that will be helpful in preparing you for our time in God’s Word are Isaiah 31:1, Jeremiah 23:29, and Jeremiah 33:3. I am looking forward to sharing this important message with you. We will be having a Moving Forward meeting on Sunday at 7:00 pm. I am looking forward to seeing many of you on Sunday. God bless you and keep close to Jesus! Because of Him, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, God’s goodness is an attribute that we can take for granted. We go through life and we often don’t see that “every good gift and every perfect gift comes from above.” A grateful heart leads to many virtues and an ungrateful heart leads to many vices. Cultivating a thankful heart, therefore, is of extreme importance. On Sunday we will take a week out of the book of 2 Corinthians. Our text is Colossians 1:12-14. The message title is “ Praising the Goodness of God.” Other passages that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Psalm 103:1-5, I Thessalonians 5:16-18, and Psalm 89:15-18. I am looking forward to raising our grateful hearts to our worthy God. May your heart be full of thanksgiving today. God bless you and keep your eyes on Jesus. In His Marvelous Name, Pastor...
