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.
