Sermon Infographic, Mental Health Awareness, Communion (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/31)




Minister Brandi Hancock delivered the Word today. She preached on the topic "The Heart of the Matter" from Ezekiel 36:26-28. 

Infographic for today's sermon:



On this last Sunday in May, I want to acknowledge that May is Mental Health Awareness month.
  • Depression and other mental health issues are a form of suffering. The Bible talks a lot about suffering. Without Scripture, we might think that suffering is random and useless.
  • Christians can struggle with mental health issues (anxiety, depression, bi-polar, etc.) and yet have the joy of the Lord.
  • It's not morally wrong to seek counseling, therapy, or take medication. Just make sure that your ultimate hope is in Christ.
  • If you struggle with mental health issues, you can fight for joy by spending time with God-saturated people who help you to see God and fight the good fight.
Thank you all for your generous donations to our food drive to help students and families impacted by the Pandemic.

Next Sunday, we will celebrate Communion so drop by the church on Monday or Wednesday from 6 to 7pm or Saturday from 10am-12pm to pick up your Communion Kits. You can also utilize items at home like unleavened bread and grape juice/wine.

      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.
