God saves children, Bring My Hope Commitment Cards, My Hope Testimony (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/28)

Last Sunday, young Darish Jacobs (age 9) came forward to trust in Christ and be a candidate for baptism. Praise God for saving young souls!

Our 2016 Theme is Abide in Christ and Bear Much Fruit. We have a limited supply of t-shirts with this theme on it on sale for $7.00 each.


Join us on Wednesday at 7:00pm for our Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". This week, we'll look at Genesis 25-35 to see Jesus in the life of Jacob.

We will not have Communion next Sunday but on Easter instead.

My Hope Sunday is 3/20. I'm asking everyone to bring their commitment cards (or a piece of paper) with the name of the person(s) they have invited to church next Sunday. We will pray for those names that God would bless and save them according to His will.

I shared my testimony about my mom getting older and being ill while I'm so far away.  With my family and pastoral obligations, it makes it hard for me to get up north to see her often.  Since I'm an only child, I must trust in the sovereignty of God that He will take care of my mom even when I'm not there.  And God has been good to provide help for my mom through her church family and friends, especially a neighbor who has been very kind to her. 

We also praised God for our sister, Leanne Lennon, who got baptized today. Please pray for her as she grows and walks with the Lord.

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.
