Speaking Engagements, Theological Seminar, Counseling Resource (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/11)

September is a busy month. Please pray for me as I have a couple of speaking engagements. I would definitely appreciate your support.

Prayer 2016 is 9/20 from 7-9pm at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. Don't forget to register as we only have a few seats remaining.

Next Sunday, 9/18, I will be preaching at Little Zion MB Church in Youngsville at 3pm for their Annual Homecoming Service.

Sunday, 9/25, I will be preaching at Christ First Christian Fellowship Center at 4pm for their Ushers/Greeters Anniversary. Minister Brandi Hancock will be the guest soloist.


Saturday, 9/24 is our next Theological Seminar from 9:00am to 11:15am. In a time when salvation is so individualized, how important is the church? Does membership in a church really matter? Walter Strickland, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, will be teaching on "The Doctrine of the Church". Come out and learn about this important topic. Light refreshments will be served. Please register for the seminar online.

My Hope Sunday is 10/9. All members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever/unchurched person to attend church with you. Commitment cards are available at the Welcome Center. We will collect them on September 25 to start praying for those you have committed to inviting. Invitation cards are now available and can be picked up at the Welcome Center.  Both, Bro. Calvin Gray and Sis. Decora Martin shared wonderful testimonies of their hope in Christ who has graciously delivered them from many things.

Thanks to all who gave today towards the love offering that will be donated to the Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief to help the Louisiana flood victims.

After today's sermon on "Finding Purpose in Depression", I recommended the Christian counseling group, BridgeHaven. I have met the executive director and have referred members to them in the past. I would highly recommend anyone who is struggling with depression to see them if they need to.

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...
