New Members, Virtual Prayer Rally, Happy Valentine's Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/13)

Welcome to our newest members who have completed New Members Orientation: Rick and Maureen Holland!

Do you struggle with your prayer life? Do you want to move to the right with how to pray? One of the benefits of corporate prayer is that disciples believers in prayer. Join us for an hour of corporate prayer at our next Virtual Prayer Rally on Tuesday, 2/15 at 7:00 pm. If you cannot attend, please submit your prayer requests online. 

Our next Theological Seminar will be a special one dealing with grief. On Saturday, 2/26 we're having a Growing thru Grief seminar. Sessions will include “Defining Grief”, “How to Mourn and Expressing it with Others”, and “Hope, Healing, and Sharing Grief”. Our speaker will be Dr. Jamie Mitchell. The seminar will be both in-person and virtual. One change regarding virtual is that the seminar will NOT be on WebEx but streamed on Zion Live, Facebook, and YouTube. Invite someone who you think would benefit from this seminar dealing with various kinds of loss. 

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Regardless of whether you are boo'd or not, I want to remind you that you are loved...especially by God. You are not defined by your relationship status. So Happy Valentine’s Day. 



So apparently there's a football game today. I don't keep up with football but in honor of Leviticus, I'm hoping the Rams get offered up!

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.

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.
