Children's Day, Register for VBS, Initial Sermon (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/1)

Yesterday's Theological Seminar on "How to Study the Bible" was a huge success.  Looks like we have to invite Dr. Merkle to come back to do another seminar on this topic.   If you missed it, you can watch it online in our archived section for previous services when it's available or you can get a DVD (contact the MarkITMedia team). We also have extra copies of handouts at the Welcome Center.

Next Sunday, we will celebrate Children's Day during the morning worship service.  The children will be actively leading and participating in the service.  So we'll take a break from Acts as we'll have a youth speaker.  So come out to support but most importantly to worship God with our children.

Have you registered for VBS yet? Now is the time. VBS is June 9-13. Our theme is "God's Backyard Bible Camp Under the Sun." See the announcement for more details.

Join us this afternoon for the Initial Sermon of Deacon Patrick Wilson at 4:00pm.  Don't miss this special occasion.

Sis. Danelle Gramble shared a testimony about her mission trip to South Africa.  One of the astonishing thing she shared was the young lady she met who had never heard about God or Jesus.  Just another reminder that the church's mission is urgent to spread the Gospel and make disciples of all nations.

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.
