Lent, Warning about Scam Artist, Next FPU Class (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/9)

Lent has started and we're calling everyone to fast and pray. If you have not started, it's not too late to begin. You can do a total fast of all foods or a partial fast of a particular food or activity. Lent is 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter (not counting Sundays).

Warning to our church family: a scam artist has been showing up at the church at different occasions in the past month asking for money under false pretenses. If he returns in the next month and you are confronted by this individual (a tall black man, approximately in his early 40's) asking for money, please direct him to one of our Deacons.

In order to help us be good stewards over our finances, we offer Financial Peace University.

Sister Rasheeda Oliver preached her Initial Sermon.  Her text was the entire book of Haggai and her topic was "Get Your House in Order: Rebuild the Temple".

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.
