We are praying that God will give them wisdom, courage, protection, and discernment. May they be faithful witnesses for Christ and make choices that honor Him. Parents, grandparents, and the entire Mt. Zion family, let's continue to cover our young people in prayer throughout the school year.   A Break from Philemon We've been blessed by our current sermon series, "Reconciliation in Christ," through the book of Philemon.

Celebrating Baptism, Summer Bible Study Series, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/26)

Celebrating Baptism Today is a joyful day as we celebrate the baptism of Jeremiah Sanon (17) . Recently, Jeremiah trusted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, and today he publicly declares his faith through believer's baptism. Baptism does not save us; rather, it is a beautiful testimony of the salvation Christ has already accomplished in the believer's life. It symbolizes our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection and serves as a public declaration that we belong to Him. We rejoice with Jeremiah and his family and pray that God will continue to strengthen him as he grows in his walk with Christ. May his testimony encourage others to place their faith in Jesus and faithfully follow Him. Summer Bible Study Series Concludes This Wednesday marks the final session of our Summer Bible Study Series in the book of Isaiah. Over the past several weeks, we have explored Isaiah chapters 40–44 , discovering God's message of comfort and restoration for His people. We...
