Bereavements, Share the Twisted Series, Ecuador Mission Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/12)

Please pray for a couple of members and their families who are facing bereavements: Sis. Gail Smith (sister passed) and Sis. Barbara Smith, our church secretary (brother passed).

We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 28.

I hope everyone enjoyed our Twisted sermon series.  If you missed any of it, you can watch it online or order a copy.  And share this series with others.

The series consisted of 6 messages:

  • 5/24, "To Judge or Not to Judge" -Misused verse: "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1)
  • 5/31, "God Alone Calls things into Existence" -Misused verse: "calling those things which be not as though they were" (Romans 4:17) 
  • 6/7,  "Not Law Giving but Grace Giving" -Misused verses: "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse.." (Malachi 3:10-11) 
  • 6/21, "The Transforming Power of the Word" -Misused verse: "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18) 
  • 6/28, "God's Plan for God's People" -Misused verse: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11) 
  • 7/5, "God Limits Temptations Not Trials" -Misused verse: "God will not put more on us than we can bear" (1 Corinthians 10:13) 


Bro. Rod Harrison shared a Life Group testimony about the Disciple Riders.  Find a Life Group that works for you.


We prayed for our team that is heading to Ecuador for a mission trip next week. Please continue to pray for Min. Matt Darby,  Bro. Jae Smith,  and Sis. Brittany Hardy that God would use them for His glory to make disciples in Ecuador.

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...
