Happy Father's Day! If earthly fathers, with their sinful nature, delights to do right for their children, it makes sense that the righteous, Heavenly Father will much more reward His children spiritually. I praise God for being our Heavenly Father who has given us the good gifts of His Son and His Spirit. His Son provides access to a relationship with the Father and His Spirit indwells within us and seals us for the day of redemption. We had an awesome VBS last week. The theme for the week that really stuck with me is "God is unforgettable". God has done so much for us that we should never forget His goodness towards us.

It's so easy to talk about bad fathers, but I want to celebrate and encourage our good fathers by giving away study resources (commentaries, concordances, dictionaries) to a few deserving fathers on Father's Day. See the details below...

I missed the Mt. Zion family on Sunday as I was speaking at Christ First Christian Fellowship Center for their First Church and Pastoral Anniversary. My topic was "The End of One Era, the Beginning of a New Era" (Deut. 34:5-9). God's word was to exhort Pastor Snead to not dwell heavily on what he use to do at Mt. Zion but to do a radical new things at Christ First! I attended their afternoon service where Pastor Marshall Mays from Virginia (Pastor Snead's home church) preached on "Stay" (Acts 27:31). He encouraged Pastor Snead to endure to the end even though storms will come. And congratulations to all of our High School graduates. I'm so proud of you for reaching this significant milestone in your life. Also, very proud of all the youth and children for the wonderful job I heard they did for the Children & Youth Day service. While I was away...Elder Roderick Harrison provided the following pastoral emphasis... There is a sign-up sheet at the...
