Pastoral Emphasis from 4/20

I remind the youth ministry that the deadline to submit their video for “The MZ YouthTube Challenge” is April 25th. The challenge is to create a 3 to 5 minute video on an evangelistic topic. The best videos will be posted on YouTube, GodTube, Facebook, MySpace, and the church’s website for internet evangelism day on April 27th.

Everyone is invited to join us for our next Bible Study series, "Spiritual Warfare - Biblical Approach," that begins on Wednesday. We are truly in a spiritual battle. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds (2 Corinthians 10:4).

High School seniors…now is the time to apply for the 2008 JA Lewis Scholarship. See the church announcements for more details.

Everyone is invited to go out with us as we go to speak and fellowship with Pastor Maurice Wright and New Destiny Christian Fellowship Church for their 4th Anniversary on Thursday at 7:30pm.

We had 100 CDs of my message “Do you love Jesus more than these things?” for free. I wanted to give them all away so people could listen repeatedly to the message and mediate on it (faith comes by hearing). Also, you can pick up some CDs to give away.

It was announced at Bible Study about a single mother with three girls who are in desperate need of some essentials items. You may have some of these items already that you can donate to the family. Let's be a blessing to this family. Sis. Winters Hankins has volunteered to help collect these items and make sure they get to the family. Contact Sis. Hankins to find out what items are needed. If you would like to donate money, you may give her cash or gift cards.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
