Another Outdoor Service!

We had another wonderful outdoor service today! God gave us such beautiful weather and many people worked together to make it a wonderful experience with a great music and worship time together. We also looked at the important but difficult issue of racial bias and the need to confront this issue in our own lives…

Together at Last!

This Sunday we are having our first in person service in 12 weeks! We are going to use the outdoors as our venue for this first time back together. Join us for this full worship service with congregational singing, special music, and a message from the book of Matthew that will give us some important…

Who Do You Want to Be Like?

From the very day we are born, we begin looking to others for cues on how to live. God has given children the incredible desire to both mimic their parents and seek a response from their actions. Even into adulthood, the truth is we are still doing this: looking to those around us for cues…

Answers in the Crisis

Some people are saying that the Corona virus crisis is God's judgment on America (or the world or . . . you pick the target). Are they correct? Others are asking, how can a good, loving God allow this to happen? Does true, biblical, Christianity have any substantial answers for this or just sympathy? We…

Trusting God To Provide

This week we will look at a true story from the Old Testament of a widow and her son in a tough situation. It illustrates Paul's Words from Philippians 4, "I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and…

Putting on the New

After making the command to put off the old and put on the new, Paul now gives specific instruction on just how we are to do that. Here in Ephesians 4:25-32 Paul deals with anger and our speech. He further explains how important this is because if we speak and act according to the old…

Why the Old Has to Go

It says in 1 Corinthians 4:17 that "if any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things have passes away, behold all things have become new". We don't, however, always want to let go of the old, we want to hang on to it. We are used to it, we are comfortable…

Defining a Pastor’s Work

In Ephesians 4 we read: "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ (NKJV)" Before Easter we studied about the importance of the whole church working together…

A note from the Pastor

I realize that things are only getting harder for many people. I just want to say that our desire is to help. Do you need to talk? Is there something I can pray with you about? Do you have an urgent need and don't know where to turn? Whether you are a member of this…
