Men's Ministry Kick-Off, Titus 2 T.E.A., EQUIP Conference Recap (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/20)

I hope everyone's fasting and prayer during Lent is going well. Some have asked me why we don't have to fast on Sundays. From the very earliest days, the church always considered that since Sunday is the day of Jesus' resurrection it is a day of feasting not fasting. Now it doesn't mean that you have to break your fast on Sundays. For some of you, it might be better that you continue fasting if it will make it harder to resume your fast on Monday.

Men, the Men's Ministry called STM (Spiritually Thinking Men) will have its kick-off meeting on Friday, 3/25 at 6pm. It's going to be a great time of food (fish dinner), fellowship, and discussion of the ministry. Bring your lawn chairs for we'll be meeting outside. All men are invited to attend. 

Women, you have a Titus 2 T.E.A. On Saturday, 3/26 at 9am. It will be a time of Teaching, Encouraging, and Affirming. All ladies are invited to attend. 

Thanks to all who attended the EQUIP Conference. We praise God for a wonderful conference.

We had a lot of great questions during the conference which I know we were not able to get to them all. But unlike other conferences where you don't know the speakers and they leave to go home, we are all here. All of the speakers are available to answer any questions you may have. Even though the Equip conference is over, the equipping continues.

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.
