Testimonies, The Wisdom of God, Initial Sermon (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/7)

I praise God for the courage of two young men who stood before the church to share their testimony and ask for prayer.  Kevin Gray shared how he had been struggling for a couple years with anxiety and depression.  But after telling his family who prayed for him and helped him get the help he needed, God has been faithful to deliver him! We prayed for him as he heads out to Appalachian State this week.  Kevin's testimony is so timely as we'll be starting a new series on August 28 on how the Gospel applies to depression.

Derrick Wiggin shared about his current trouble and legal issues that he and his family are dealing with.  He admitted his weakness and asked for his church family to pray for him.  We expressed our love and support for him and prayed that God would how him mercy and favor before men.  We are trusting God to bring out the good in the midst of this situation!


In Bible Study, we finished up "The Son of God" series and this Wednesday we start a new series called "The Wisdom of God", where we'll see Jesus in the Psalms and Wisdom books. Join us on Wednesdays at 7pm.

Deacon James Warmack will be giving his Initial Sermon on next Sunday, August 14th, at 4:00pm. Everyone is invited to join us.

We are collecting Back to School supplies until August 21st for West Cary Middle School and The Oxford Children's Home. Flyers are at the Welcome Center for the needed items by Zones.

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.
