Sunday rest and reflection!

January  19th, 2014

Dear Friends,

The stories of the patriarchs of Genesis show us that life back then was not much different than our day.  There were quarrels among families, favoritism, jealousy, and scheming to get ahead.  People of faith did not always get it right, but God used the circumstances and weaknesses to accomplish a bigger purpose.  I believe He is still doing that today!  Thank God for His mercy and for His promises!

As you order your day today, make God’s house and God’s Word a priority!  Set your heart to seek out His  bigger purposes for your life!  God is up to something good–no matter where you are right now or what it feels like!   God bless you and your family!

Sunday Message: The birth of the Church!

Scripture reading for April 22nd: Matthew 16:13-20, John 20:19-31

Dear Friends,

The Church of Jesus Christ is God’s idea.  He is building His Church and the gates of hell will not stop Him!  Join with a church family this morning to worship, meditate, and experience God’s word and His presence.  You will never be the same!  The battle for the souls of men requires our strengthening through fellowship, worship, prayer and hearing God’s Word!  These are the basic functions of a healthy church family!

In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Sunday message: Defeating temptation!

Scripture reading for Sunday January 8th, 2012: Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-14, Isaiah 58:1-14

As we begin our year with fasting and prayer, Jesus calls us to fight a war with the world, flesh and devil.  The battle rages daily and sometimes our flesh is weak.  We have a vision from Jesus and instructions on how we can be victorious through renewing our minds with God’s Word.  Let’s commit to following Jesus’ wisdom in this daily war!

“Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” (Matthew 4:4)
