Police Survey, Twisted Too, Introducing MyHope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/10)

Bereavement: Sis. Norma Winton's brother, Mario Anderson (uncle to Sis. Shenithia Griffin) passed away suddenly this past week. Mario's wife, Karla, was the one that invited our Worship Ministry to participate in Raleigh Winterfest about a year ago. Please be in prayer for the family during this time of loss. The homegoing service for Mario Anderson was held today at 3:00pm at Apex Funeral Home Chapel. The family asked me to officiate and bring the Word. I preached from John 14:1-6 on "Jesus is the way". There were non-believers present so they heard the Gospel. My prayer is that God's Word would find deep root in the soils of their heart.

Last week, we kicked off and laid the groundwork for our new Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". Join us this Wednesday at 7:00pm as we look at seeing Jesus in creation.

Many of you know that I'm part of a group of pastors working with the Cary PD to improve relationship between the police and the African-American community. As a part of that, there's a survey in the bulletin that I'm asking everyone to fill out and return by the end of the month. You can submit your completed survey at the Welcome Center, church office, or in the offering baskets when offering is collected.

On 1/24, I'm starting a new sermon series, Twisted Too. We'll be looking at some more misused Scriptures. If you missed the first series, Twisted, you can check it out online, order the audio CDs or DVDs.



Today, we introduced our MyHope Outreach. We are asking all of our members to commit to inviting at least one unchurched person to join us at church on 3/20. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. So invite someone to to church on 3/20 and pray that God will save them. More details will be coming.

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...
