We Go Together with Christ, BSF, Invite for My Hope (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/17)

Join us for our Discipleship Journey at Bible Study. On Wednesday at 7pm, we'll look at what it means to go together with Christ. Jesus sends us out together in order to make disciples. Being a member of a local church is vitally important for disciples of Christ.

I want to encourage you to attend Bible Study or a Life Group but if your schedule does not permit it, you may want to check out Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) as a supplement to what Mt. Zion offers.  Deaconess Tracy Dunn, Sis. Kelly Smith, and Deacon Bobby Dunn gave on brief skit on their involvement with BSF. Please check with one of them if you have questions about BSF.

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 for My Hope on 10/8. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Write down the names of those you are committing to invite on a commitment card. We will collect them on 10/1 and pray for these individuals. The topic will be on what makes Christianity different than all other world religions.

Deacon Perry Johnson shared his testimony about how grace and mercy has been sufficient throughout his life.


Today, the loving offering will go to help those who have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey. We will donate to hurricane relief efforts of Crossover Bible Fellowship Church in Houston, Texas. Please give generously to the love offering. If you are giving online, please make a note of "Harvey" or "Hurricane".

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.
