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 ...

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.
