Sunday Rest and Reflection!
Sunday November 8th, 2014
Dear Friends,
As we enter the Thanksgiving season, it is good to reflect on all that God has blessed us with! His provisions have been wonderful and salvation will bring us joys beyond our ability to imagine! We live in a nation that has religious freedom and abundant food. We have ability to communicate and travel as we please. We have access to information that others around the world would not believe.
But there are great needs in our world too! People are hungry and children are starving in some places. Many are homeless and wander about looking for shelter and hope. War ravages many parts of our world and plagues are taking lives as well. The signs of the end of the age are all around us. It is time to be diligent in our relationship with God. Gather with God’s people to worship and pray! Lift your heads to heaven looking for our Lord’s soon return! The best is yet to come!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends of Jesus,
Harvest is nearly in and the season of Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Of course, for Christians, each day is a day of thanksgiving for the grace we receive from our relationship with our Lord Jesus! We enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Gather with God’s people today and offer thanks to Jesus for His marvelous salvation! Remember His broken body and shed blood as we partake of Holy Communion. Never forget His love for you and me and His promise to return and take us to be with Him! Today could be that day!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
I am so thankful to be able to meet with others of Christ’s family! It is an honor to gather to worship Jesus Christ and hear His Word! We must live by faith in the times that try our souls and faith comes by hearing God’s Word! Let’s honor our Lord by gathering today! A Sabbath rest in Christ is a mark of God’s people. We rest one day and worship with His people! See you in church!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
Jesus honors faith! He spoke the Word of God to birth faith in His followers and empower them to move mountains to His glory! Without faith we cannot please Him! Faith works by love.
God’s people gather on the first day of the week to celebrate the love of God in Jesus Christ. We gather to pray, worship and hear the Word proclaimed. We demonstrate our love for God by obedience. We gather to speak to mountains of sickness, bondage, and unforgiveness and watch them be thrown into the sea of God’s grace! Don’t miss out on what God is doing! Your gathering today with God’s people is an act of faith that pleases God!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
I love fall! Harvest is in full swing on the farms! The air is getting cooler and nights longer! Football games come on the weekends and holidays are not far away! As we enjoy this season, we can look back and thank God for His faithfulness to supply our needs and lead us daily. He has abundantly supplied!
Take time this Sunday to join with God’s people and worship our Lord! Bring a thankful heart and present your selves before Him. One of the marks of the people of God is taking a day to honor God and give Him thanks! Offer yourself afresh as a laborer in His harvest field!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
Greetings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, our Messiah!
Israel is the nation that brought forth the Messiah. God made a covenant with Abraham and has promised to bless those who bless Israel, and to curse those who curse Israel. (Genesis 12:3) He has told us in His Word to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and seek its prosperity. (Psalm 122:6-9) Jesus will return to Jerusalem and set up His millennial reign in Jerusalem!
Each year churches around the world join together on the first Sunday of October to pray for Israel. Join us Today as we join others in prayer! Let’s give ourselves to worship like never before! Jesus is coming soon!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends of Jesus,
How comforting are the words of these prophets! God is a God of hope and encouragement! Through Haggai, we learned the righteous must live by faith in the face of difficult times. Through Zechariah, we learned that God would be a wall of fire around His people and that their enemies would be defeated! We are the “apple of His eye”!
With these encouragements, we gather to worship on the Lord’s Day! Today is a day of celebration and focus on the mission at hand: reaching the nations with the message of a coming Savior! Join us today for a mission’s banquet and a powerful message from missionary Bill McDonald! You will be encouraged at what God is doing!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
Sunday is a day that Christians around the world gather to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Jesus is the head of the Church and the Cornerstone of it’s foundation! His blood shed for us demonstrates His great love and powerful obedience to the Father. We gather to worship, pray, and be equipped to go into our world with the message of Jesus Christ!
Join us today for a challenging mission’s message from a choice missionary of our fellowship. Come to worship and pray for God’s empowerment to reach our world! Jesus is coming soon!

Dear Friends,
The times we live in are similar to those of the minor prophet Amos. He was a simple man who spoke a plain message of warning to people who were living in times of prosperity and declining attention to God. The people were going through the motions of religion, but not ready to meet God!
Let me call you as believers in Jesus Christ to come and meet with God’s people and with God this Sunday! We live in a time where the grace of God is flowing! If you have been back-slidden or neglecting corporate worship, God is merciful! Repent and follow the Holy Spirit back into the rhythms of His people. The Church of Jesus Christ needs you and you need the Church! Your family and friends do too! Invites someone to join you and attend today!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary

Dear Friends,
Greetings in the Glorious Name of Jesus Christ! He loves us and has demonstrated that love by giving His life on the cross and shedding His life-blood that those who would look to Him would have cleansing and eternal life! We celebrate His resurrection and victory over death and Hell as we gather today! What amazing love God has poured out on us! We remember Christ’s death until He comes again to receive us into glory!
In His Love, Pastor John and Mary
