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 ...

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...
