Join us again on Wednesday at 7pm for our Bible Study series called the Journey. This Wednesday, we'll look at the importance of disciples living in community and why participation in the church is essential. Next Sunday, we start our journey through the Gospel of Mark with a series called "Following the Servant-King". It will take about a year and a half to get through this book. We had our Church Family Meeting right after the service today. Our key ministry initiatives for 2017 are... Theme: Make Disciples: Helping Others Follow Jesus  Focus on discipleship training and helping members to grow  Two My Hope Outreach Sundays The Journey, 1 year intentional discipleship (during Bible Study)  Starting Women's Sunday School class (on First Sundays)  Mission trip (three opportunities: India, Haiti, or Kenya)  Church-wide Q&A Session(s)

We have a new President and it grieves my heart to read some of the hateful things being said by Christians. No, I don't think Trump is qualified but if I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, how I talk about someone (and what I post on social media) matters. "A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart." Luke 6:45 (NLT) My wife said, "We should not get too hung up on who sits in the oval office and be more concerned with 'what' is in the 'oval office of our hearts". Even if you consider President Trump to be your enemy, we are called to love our enemies . And since Trump is our President (Yes, he is regardless if you want to admit it or not), we are exhorted to pray for him. "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings

I missed worshiping with my Mt. Zion family today as I was worshiping and preached at Sovereign Grace Church of Apex .  Thanks for all who prayed for me.  It was greatly appreciated. I preached on the topic "For I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel" from Romans 1:16-17 and it was well received by the church.  It was also a blessing for my family and I to worship with another congregation of people who are different than us.  There is diversity in the Gospel and the Kingdom of God so we must embrace it and not just tolerate it. In my absence, Elder Wayne Bullock gave the pastoral emphasis.  Here are some items he mentioned. Zone 1 members ministered at Brookdale Assisted Living this afternoon at 2pm. The Male Choir rendered a mini-concert. Thanks to all that attended. Join us again on Wednesday at 7pm for our Bible Study series called the Journey. This Wednesday, we'll look at the meaning and importance of baptism. Mt. Zion is partnering with the Western Wake Chapt

Happy New Year! Due to the winter weather, we did not have service on Sunday but we got on Periscope to worship and hear a Word from God.  If you missed it, you can check out my message below. RSS or Email Subscribers click through to see the video 2017 is here and our church theme is "Make Disciples: Helping Others To Follow Jesus".  This year, we'll be strengthening our walk with Jesus and equipping people to share their faith and how to disciple others. On last Wednesday, we started our new year-long Bible Study series called the Journey which will be a year-long intentional plan for discipleship.  Session 1 was about this truth: You were created by a passionate God who relentlessly pursued you to bring you into His family.  Session 2 will be about the centrality of Jesus in the life of a disciple.  Purchase your personal study guide for $4 and join us on Wednesdays at 7pm.
