Dear Church Family, In his excellent book, “The Art of Forgiveness,” Lewis Smede writes, “We Forgive when we feel God’s Spirit nudging us with an impulse to pull ourselves out of the sludge of our disabling resentment.” Forgiveness is crucial for individuals and for a local body of Christ. The spiritual, emotional, and perhaps physical aspects of our lives are dependent upon heart felt  forgiveness. On Sunday we will be looking at 2 Corinthians 2:5-11. The message title is “ The Nonnegotiable Virtue: Forgiveness.” Other helpful verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are Matthew 18:15-18, John 20:22-23, and Genesis 50:15-21. May the Lord bless our time together as we study this important passage and theme of forgiveness. Have a wonderful day as you bask in the glory of having been forgiven by your Lord. God bless you and have a great day! Because of Him, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, It is remarkable how much of a difference good leadership can make in a home, a church, an athletic team, or a business. It is fascinating to see how secular thinkers are coming around to conclude the same things that God’s Word has said for a few thousand years. On Sunday we will be looking at 2 Corinthians 1:23-2:4. The sermon title is “ The Marks of a Godly Leader.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s word are Matthew 20:25-28, I Thessalonians 2:4-8, and Acts 20:17-24. I am looking forward to being with you and worshipping the King of Kings on Sunday morning. If you have the chance, stop in to visit the church rummage sale on Friday or Saturday anytime from 7:00 am -3:00 pm.  It is a first class operation! Thanks for being such a fine representation of Jesus! Have a great day. Because of Him, Pastor...

Dear Church Family, It is common to preach a message on Mother’s Day that is an exhortation or an encouragement to mothers as they fulfill their holy calling as care givers. I know, I have preached such messages and they have their place. It is less common to preach a Mother’s Day message that is aimed more at those who are cared for by mothers and other care givers. Such a message is primarily encouraging to mothers and a healthy reminder to the rest of us to honor them for their sacrificial and honorable ways. This Sunday morning we will be looking at John 19:25-28. The message title is “Caring for Mothers.” Other verses that will prepare you for our time in God’s Word are I Timothy 5:3-4, Proverbs 18:21, and Proverbs 20:20. I am looking forward to lifting up motherhood and care giving on Sunday morning. On Saturday from 10:00am  to 1:00 pm the church family will be washing cars for mothers and others in the community as we seek to show the kindness of Jesus. Come help us serve or pray for us as we reach out to our community. Until Sunday, God bless you and have a great day! Because of Jesus, Pastor...
