Pray for Typhoon Victims, Prayer Walk at NLM, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/17)

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Acts 4-6

Many of you have heard about the devastating typhoon that hit the Philippines last week. The death toll has topped 3,600. We are finalizing which organization that we can donate to.  Please pray and stay tuned for information on how we will be helping those affected.

As a church family, I'm asking that we all read David Platt's latest book, "Follow Me". This is the book every believer should read to truly understand what does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. LifeWay has the book on sale for $9.99 (a little bit cheaper than Amazon).

On Saturday morning, 11/23, Mt. Zion will be partnering with Mosaic Church to distribute food baskets to local families in need. We are asking members to contribute items for the food baskets ($10 grocery store gift card, can of corn, can of green beans, box of jiffy cornbread mix, stuffing, gravy, can of cranberries, package of mashed potatoes.). We also need volunteers to assemble and distribute the food baskets.  Sign up online.

On Saturday afternoon, we're doing a prayer walk in the neighborhood of New Life Ministries at 2pm. At the end of the service today, we commissioned Elder and Minister Cody for their new church.

We will have a special Elder-led Prayer on Tuesday, 11/26, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. We will spend the hour praying for the lost (in our families, jobs, community). Write down the names of unbelievers that you know and join us for this special time of prayer. If you can't make it, submit those names in the prayer request box at the Welcome Center or use our prayer request form on our website.

Next Sunday, I'm starting a new series called "God Became Flesh: The Glory of the Incarnation".  Join us and bring a friend as we more about the Doctrine of the Incarnation.

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 ...

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...
