Walk/Run for Corral Riding, Happy Mother's Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/9)


Mt. Zion is partnering with Trinity Park Church for a 5k (3.1 miles) walk/run on Saturday, May 22 at 8:00am. We will walk at the Black Greenway Trail off of Maynard Road near the church. The mission is to support Corral Riding who ministers to and supports at-risk girls and for us to show love in action with our neighboring church. Register today. Contact Evangelist Tayon Dancy for more information. 



Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers!

But we should acknowledge that Mother's Day can be bittersweet for many for various reasons. Some of you have lost your mother. Take comfort in God, our heavenly Father. The Bible says that God watches over His people like a hen who protects her chicks under her wings. If you are in Christ and your mother was in Christ, then you shall see her again. 

Some mothers have lost children (some by miscarriages or abortion). God has mercy on children and I truly believe you shall see your child one day in eternity. And even if you have aborted a baby, there is forgiveness in Christ. Christ can remove your shame and guilt. There is no condemnation for those in Christ! 

There are some women who desire to have children but it has not happened yet. I pray that God grants you that desire but trust in the sovereignty of God and know that your self-worth and identity are not in motherhood but it is in Jesus Christ. 

For all you mothers who feel like you don't measure up, you don't have to be perfect, Christ was perfect for you.

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.
