My Hope Sermon & Testimony, Virtual Prayer Rally, Easter Weekend (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/14)

Today was My Hope Sunday where our members invited people to tune into the service to hear about the Gospel and our hope in Jesus Christ. Deacon Shaun Johnson shared his My Hope testimony.

(email subscribers: click here if you can't see the video)


My sermon was on "What is God doing with COVID-19?".  Now I don't presume to know exactly what God is doing with this pandemic but God has revealed to us some of the things He is doing in this world through His Word. My three major points of what is God doing with COVID-19 are:
  1. God is showing us the horror of sin
  2. God is giving us a wake-up call for Christ's return
  3. God is calling us to repent
You check out the full sermon here.

I don't know what your experience with the church has been but God intends for the church to be a family. We care for one other, especially during life's difficulties. If you're not a part of a church community, I would encourage you to join one where others can care for you and you can care for others. 

The church is also a house of prayer. On Tuesday, March 16th, we'll be having a Virtual Prayer Rally at 7:00 pm on WebEx. Everyone is invited to join us. If you cannot attend, please submit your prayer online with our Prayer Request form. 

We are already in preparation for Easter weekend. We are strongly considering having a special outdoor Easter service. This week, I'll be sending out a survey via Realm to our members to get your feedback. So be on the lookout for that email.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
