Elder-led Prayer, Church Family Meeting, Men's Sunday School (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/23)

The next Elder-led Prayer is this Wednesday from 6 to 7 pm. Everyone is invited to join us as we focus on specific prayer needs. If you are not able to attend but have prayer requests, you can place them in the prayer requests box on the table at the back of the church, use the Connections card, or submit them online.

Join us for our Discipleship Journey at Bible Study. On Wednesday at 7pm, we'll be looking at the Spirit-filled life. God sent the gift of the Holy Spirit to help us become the people He created us to be.

Our next Church Family Meeting is next Sunday right after the church service. We have a lot of great info to share and also a Board of Directors election. All members are asked to attend.

Since our theme is "Make Disciples: Helping Others Follow Jesus", we want to equip you, especially men, to be better at discipling. Starting in August, I will be teaching our Men's Sunday School class on how to lead family devotions and study the Bible. All men (married & single) are invited to join us on first Sundays in Adult Classroom 3.

As we've talked (in Bible Study) about living in community, we saw how the young church in Acts would sell their possessions to make sure that members had what they needed. We have two members in need for housing (a single mom & young brother). So our love offering next Sunday will go to help these members. Please come prepared to give generously. If you're ready to give today, you can give to the love offering but make a note on it saying "Members Assistance".

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.
