Pastor Saeed's Letter, New Bible Study Series, Vote on Tuesday (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/2)

I read Pastor Saeed's letter to his daughter for her 8th birthday. I pray that we could all have this level of faith and trust in the sovereignty of God when we are facing deep suffering.

Here's an excerpt that especially moved me...

I know that you question why you have prayed so many times for my return and yet I am not home yet. Now there is a big WHY In your mind you are asking: WHY Jesus isn’t answering your prayers and the prayers of all of the people around the world praying for my release and for me to be home with you and our family.

The answer to the WHY is WHO. WHO is control? LORD JESUS CHRIST is in control.

Please read the entire letter. I hope it moves and encourages you. Please continue to pray for Pastor Saeed and his family.

Thanks for all who came out to SPRUCE UP our church on yesterday. Your time and service is greatly appreciated.

We are starting a new Bible Study series on Wednesday at 7:00pm called "Completion and Reconciliation in Christ". We'll be studying the books of Colossians and Philemon. Everyone is invited to join us.

If you did not do early voting, don't forget to vote on Tuesday. We need Christians to vote based on biblical principles and worldview. Remember your allegiance is not to an ethnic group or a political party but to Christ. So get informed on the candidates and vote. We still have some voter's guides available at the Welcome Center to help aide you.

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...
