Last Week of "Who Did Jesus Die For?", Stay Warm Drive (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/25)

Join us on Wednesday at 7 pm for the last week of our Bible Study series "Who Did Jesus Die For?". We've been examining the doctrine of Definite Atonement from the Scriptures that show Jesus died only for the elect. This week, we're looking at some texts that seem to contradict this and why does it matter who Jesus died for. Even if you've missed the other sessions, you can still join us. The Devoted Disciples need your help with collecting hats, gloves, scarves, and socks for their "Stay Warm" drive for the homeless and those in need. Please support our service project by donating these items by December 23rd. For more information, contact a Devoted Disciple or Sis. Tracy Dunn . Today, we continue in our new sermon series called “Wounded: How the Gospel Heals the Sexually Hurting”. Since this is a sensitive subject and could possibly trigger those who have been sexually wounded in the past, as we go through this series, please feel to step out of th

No Bible Study, Fall Spruce Up Stats, Stay Warm Drive (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/18)

Bible Study is canceled on Wednesday due to the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.

Today is Veteran's Day where we honor and thank those who have served in the military. Happy Veteran's Day!  We also recognized the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity who worshipped with us today. Last week, we started our new Bible Study series, "Who Did Jesus Die For?" We had a great time with lots of lively discussions.

Fall Spruce UP: All are welcome to help clean God’s house on Saturday, November 17th, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Come for any amount of time. Thanks in advance for your service. Next Sunday, I'm starting a new series called "Wounded: How the Gospel Heals the Sexually Hurting". It's a heavy subject that I know could trigger those who have been sexually wounded in the past. In order to prepare yourself, here are the specific topics covered in the s

Church-Wide Prayer Gathering, Who Did Jesus Die For?, Speaking at Scott's Grove Church (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/4)

I would like to encourage everyone to vote on Tuesday (if you didn't early vote). Research the candidates, issues, think biblically, pray for wisdom, and exercise your right to vote. Remember your true allegiance to not to an elephant or donkey but to the Lamb ! After you've exercised your right to vote, come out and exercise your right to pray to our Heavenly Father. The next Church-Wide Prayer Gathering is Tuesday, November 6th, from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. 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 submit them online . Did Jesus die for everyone? The answer seems simple enough but this question has been hotly debated throughout church history. Did Jesus’ death merely make salvation possible for everyone or did it actually accomplish the work of redemption? Join us for our next Bible Study, "Who Did Jesus Die For?" starting on Wednesday, November 7th, at 7:00pm as we tackle t
