Dear Church Family, Speaking in behalf of someone else is an important role. As a pastor my task each time I preach or teach is to be God’s mouthpiece. My goal is to say what He would say if He was in Person speaking. An ambassador to a foreign country has the same job. He is to accurately represent the viewpoint of the one who is over him. The same is true for any follower of Jesus. We are to accurately represent Him as we talk to those who don’t follow Him. Tomorrow morning we will be looking at 2 Corinthians 5:20-6:2. The title of the message is “Ambassadors for Christ.” Other verses that will prepare your heart for our time in God’s Word are John 8:46, I Corinthians 1:30, and Galatians 5:1-2. I am excited to see what God does in our time of worship together. May you have a blessed day as you represent the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Have a wonderful Saturday! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, There are many people in our church family whose lives make no sense. Given our backgrounds we should not have married as well as we did, we should not have the wonderful jobs that we have, but most important we should not be as gentle, wise, and loving as we are. The only way to explain our lives is that Jesus came into our lives and has been changing us to make us who He wants us to be. On Sunday we will be looking at 2 Corinthians 5:16-19. The message title is “ New Life In Christ.” Other verses that will prepare you for our uplifting time in God’s Word are Galatians 1:21-24, I Corinthians 6:9-11, and Colossians 1:21-22. “Where would I be without the Lord Jesus” is a fair question for any follower of the Lord to ask. On Saturday evening at 6:00 we will enjoy a kickball game, other outdoor activities, and a cookout. Everyone is welcome to this wonderful gathering. Until then, God bless you and have a great day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, Motivation is crucial. Motivation makes things happen. People accomplish wonderful things for the Lord when they have the proper motivation. It enables a follower of Jesus to persevere in difficult times and to give others a glimpse of the life of Christ working in them and through them as they serve. Proper motivation is essential for effective Christian service. This Sunday morning we will be looking at 2 Corinthians 5:11-15. The title of the sermon is “Motivated for Ministry.” Other verses that will help you to see where we are headed on Sunday morning are Psalm 34:11, I Peter 1:8, and I Samuel 16:7. The highlight of my week is Sunday morning. I trust that our time together will be a highlight to your week as well. Be assured of my love and prayers. Until Sunday. God bless you and have a wonderful day! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church family, The desires of a person’s heart can vary from time to time and from person to person. Wrong desires can lead to bad choices and even good desires that are not tempered can lead to bad choices as well. For instance, a young person can desire to be married and want to be married so badly that they settle for a mate that is not a good choice for them. Make no mistake about it, desires are very important in living  the Christian life. This raises the question, “ what should be the greatest desire for any follower of Jesus?”  On Sunday morning we will explore that question as we study 2 Corinthians 5:1-5. The title of the message is “ Our Deepest Desire.” Other verses that will prepare you for this interesting passage are I Thessalonians 4:15-18, Psalm 16:10-11, and Provers 13:10. It will be a privilege to share with you the truths from this fascinating text. Perhaps I will see you tonight as Wednesday night ministries begin again this evening. May the Lord grant you the desires of your heart today. God bless you as you walk with Jesus! In His Matchless Grace, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, One of the most underrated obstacles that we face is discouragement. When we are discouraged we lose heart, we want to quit, and we lose the enthusiasm that is necessary to perform with excellence. We all have been discouraged and long to spend as little time in that condition as possible. This Sunday morning we will be looking at some perspectives that will help us to not lose heart. The message is from 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. The title is “Invaluable Perspectives on Life.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Psalm 138:3, I Corinthians 3:13-15, and II Kings 6:14-17. Each one of those 3 passages illustrates a perspective that we will look at on Sunday. May the Lord encourage your heart today as you seek to serve Him. God bless you and have a great day! In Light of His Grace, Pastor...
