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.

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:

God is showing us the horror of sin
God is giving us a wake-up call for Christ's return
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.

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 .
