We still have seats available for Prayer 2012: a City-Wide Prayer Rally on 10/16 at Memorial Auditorium. To reserve a seat with our group from Mt. Zion, sign-up online . We are nearing the end of Project: Witness To Thy Neighbor .  It can be difficult to share our faith. Sometimes when opportunities arise to share our faith, we shrink back because we don't want to be intolerant.  There are now two types of tolerance. The old tolerance is the belief that other opinions have a right to exist.  The new tolerance that has arisen, however, is defined as the belief that all opinions are equally valid or true. It is one thing to say something has the right to exist; it is quite another to say that two beliefs are equally valid.  I want to encourage us to share our faith despite the fact that we might be labeled "intolerant" with this new definition of tolerance.  Let's understand the difference between the two types of tolerance so that we can lovingly correc...

We are nearing the end of Project: Witness To Thy Neighbor .  Don't forget to pray, pray, pray.  Pray for opportunities to share your faith.  And then look for them.  You can also use the Story booklet (pick some up at the Welcome Center) or point them to the Story website to share the God's grand story of creation, redemption, and restoration. Don't forget to reserve your seat online to join us for Prayer 2012: a City-Wide Prayer Rally on 10/16 at Memorial Auditorium. This Wednesday, we conclude our Culture and Theology series on Homosexuality. This will be Q & A. Join us and bring your questions. We will be streaming this session online at Zion Live . If our members can continue to give at least 5% or more above your normal giving, it will help us meet our budget. Thanks to all who sacrificed to give more.

I want to encourage you to join many Triangle churches including Mt. Zion for Prayer 2012: a City-Wide Prayer Rally on 10/16 at Memorial Auditorium. To reserve a seat, sign-up online . Don't forget to participate in Project: Witness To Thy Neighbor , where we are challenging ourselves to intentionally share the Gospel with a neighbor.  A book I highly recommend on sharing the Gospel is "The Gospel and Personal Evangelism" by Mark Dever.   We continue our Culture and Theology series on Homosexuality this Wednesday. We had a good discussion last week and look forward to engaging this topic some more as we answer some of the culture's objections to what the Bible says.  Everyone is invited to attend. And we will be streaming it on Zion Live . Our next Town Hall Meeting is Saturday, September 22nd, at 9:00am. The Town Hall will be an open forum for Q & A. All members are invited to come out and ask their questions and/or give their input.  We want...

As most of our members know, Mt. Zion has experienced the passing of 5 members (Minister Candice Walden, Sister Alice Shorts, Minister Cynthia Whitney, Sister Barbara Stephens, and Deacon Jess Ward) all within 2 months.  How are we to understand so many deaths in a short amount of time?  This is where we must strap on our armor lest we fall for lies from Satan. Ephesians 6:16 (ESV) : In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one Satan can so easily send his "flaming darts" at us to get us to doubt God's faithfulness.  Satan can "whisper" to us that there must be something wrong at the church, we are being punished, or we are under a curse.  But we don't operate by our feelings.  We walk by faith NOT by sight ( 2 Cor. 5:7 ).  So we look to the Word of God. First of all, God is sovereign.  Death can't take one of God's children before God says so.  Neither can we stop ...

Once again death hits our church family. Deacon Emeritus Jess Ward passed away on Wednesday. The Service for Deacon Ward will be here at Mt. Zion on Saturday, 9/8 at 11:00am. On Wednesday, 9/12 at 7pm, we will start a 3 week Culture and Theology series on Homosexuality. This series will feature teaching from Pastor Matt Chandler with a biblical and cultural examination of homosexuality. Everyone is invited to attend. Thanks so much for your consistent and generous giving during the summer months. If our members can continue to give at least 5% or more above your normal giving, it will help us maintain our budget. Thanks to all who have sacrificed to give more.
