ECSU Choir, Thanks For Your Generosity, Church Planting Announcement (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/25)

We are very happy to have The Billy C. Hines Chamber Singers & Chorale from Elizabeth City State University with us today.

Today’s reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Lamentations 1-2

I want to thank you and praise God for the generosity of this church. We collected a lot of school and toiletry supplies to give to West Cary Middle School and the Children's Home in Oxford.  And a big shout out to our youth ministry for delivering the supplies and showing the love of Christ to the children in Oxford.

It's not too late to join in for our Bible Study series, "Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World".  This Wednesday at 7pm we'll discuss the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment.

The next Elder-led Prayer will be held on Tuesday from 6 to 7 pm. Everyone is invited to join us as we focus on specific prayer needs. If you are unable to attend but have prayer requests, you can place them in the prayer requests box at the Welcome Center or submit them online.

We are excited to announce the appointment of Minister Daryl Cody as an elder.  This is in anticipation of Elder Cody and his wife planting a new church by the end of this year.  We'll have more details in the near future.  Please be in prayer and be prepared to support them,

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
