Service at Chatham Commons, Theological Seminar, Zone Softball Tournament (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/16)

We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 33.

Deaconess Angelique Cherry announced that the winner of our second round of "Guess Who" is my wife, Anita!  And I did not give her the answers!

Zone 3 did a service at Chatham Commons on Sunday afternoon. Bro. Jae Smith brought a straight Gospel message from the verse, "Jesus wept", emphasizing Jesus' deity and humanity. The Gospel Choir sang praises to our great God. Please take advantage of these opportunities to spread the Gospel and serve those in our community.

What does it mean that God has chosen the elect? Is God unjust not to elect everyone? Dr. Keith Whitfield, SEBTS, is returning to finish teaching on "The Doctrine of Election" for our next free theological seminar on Saturday, 8/22, from 9:00am to 11:15am. Come out and learn more about this important doctrine. Light refreshments will be served. Please register for the seminar online.

The Fall Spruce UP is 8/29 from 9am to 12pm. So come out and help clean our church for our upcoming anniversary activities.

We're having a friendly Zone Softball Tournament. Zone members will “bat” it out on the Softball Diamond Saturday, Sept 26th, from 3:00pm -7:00pm. Sign-up sheets are available at the Welcome Center! Come enjoy some food, fun and fellowship. Must be 16 to play. Kid’s activities on site as well. May the best Zone win! Contact Tracy Downing or your Deacon with questions.

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.
