The Journey Vol. 3 Review, enGendered Conference, Praying for My Hope (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/24)

Join us for our Discipleship Journey at Bible Study. On Wednesday at 7pm, we'll be wrapping up volume 3 with a time of review and fellowship. The study guides for volume 4 are available for $4 so see Deacon Johnson to get yours today.

Please join us for our Prayer & Testimony service on the first Wednesday of each month, starting 10/4, right before Bible Study (6-6:45 pm). Come out and glorify His Name and give thanks!

Peace Church in Cary is having a conference called enGendered on 9/30 from 9am to 3pm.  The conference will address God, gender, and sexuality.  Although the culture has changed regarding gender and sexuality, Christians should have their beliefs and actions conform to biblical truth. The speakers will be Rosaria Butterfield and Sam Andreades.  If I wasn't already attending a conference this weekend (9Marks), I would definitely be attending this one.

UPDATE: I heard from Peace Church that they are at capacity for the conference and have closed down registration. They will be recording it so hopefully they can make the recordings available to the public.


My Hope Sunday, 10/8, is quickly approaching. I hope you have invited at least one person to join you for church on that Sunday and you are praying for them to attend and be changed. All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever, un-churched, or de-churched person to join us at church. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

Write down the names on the commitment cards of those you are committing to invite. We will collect them on next Sunday, 10/1, and pray for these individuals. The topic will address what makes Christianity different than all other world religions.

Bro. George Richards shared his testimony of how he got caught up in gangs and had been shot and injured but God saved his soul and from this lifestyle.  He was blessed with his wife and our church family that has helped him to really grow in the Lord.

Thank you all for your generous giving to the love offering for the Hurricane Harvey relief. We have raised a significant amount. We always have a few stranglers to give so I'll announce the total next Sunday. So you still have opportunity to give to hurricane relief TODAY. Give to the love offering with a note that it's for "Hurricane Harvey".

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.
