Bible Reading Plan, Oak City Academy, "Built upon the Rock" (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/4)

Happy New Year! We are going to be reading through the Bible again as a church family.  We're using the 52-week Bible reading plan that starts today.  Each day of the week is dedicated to a different genre: Epistles, The Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, and Gospels.  If you didn't get a copy of the reading plan at the church, you can download it here.

Join us for part 2 of the Bible Study series, "Exploring the Holy Spirit", starting on Wednesday.  We will examine some of the most debated and significant issues like blasphemy against the Spirit, Spirit Baptism, gifts of prophecy and tongues, and more.  You will not want to miss this series.  Come out and bring a friend.

As a part of our mission to serve our community, I had the opportunity to be introduced to Oak City Academy, a Classical Christian Montessori School in Raleigh.

I love that the school is helping students to have a biblical worldview.  There will be a brief meeting after the service on next Sunday with the school's director.  They're looking to diversify their teaching staff as well as partner with more African-American churches.

Married & engaged couples, today is the last day for you to sign up for the Oneness Life Group in Durham.  This Life Group will be exploring The 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman.  Sessions will be held at the home of Deacon & Deaconess Spivey on the 2nd Saturdays of each month.  Please check with the Spiveys for questions and/or to sign up.



This is the 150th year of our church!  Our anniversary theme as well as our church theme for the year is "Built upon the Rock".  We're going to have an anniversary gala and more in September.  So stay tuned and get involved.

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...
