My Hope Testimony, Nehemiah Team, Jesus is Better (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/9)

Today was My Hope Sunday. Members invited many guests to attend. I preached on "The God of Hope" from Romans 15:13.  God is the God of hope so believe in Him. He provides joy, peace, and hope through the person and work of Jesus Christ. We also had another My Hope testimony.

We welcome our newest member who has completed New Members Orientation and his membership interview: Bro. Gary “CJ” Sutton 

Many people say that the Bible is not relevant to our modern times. But the Bible is God's wisdom and contains truth that transcends culture and times. On 10/15 at 10 AM, we're going to have a special panel called From the Womb to the Tomb to discuss God's design for family, marriage, sex, and human flourishing in light of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. My hope is to help us all think biblically about these manners. There will be a time for Q&A. 


We are forming a new team called the Nehemiah Team. Just as Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, this team will “rebuild” our sanctuary and other areas within our church after special events, programs, and ministry offerings. There will be a meeting right after church on next Sunday if any men or women are interested in serving. 

On 10/23, we're starting a new series in the book of Hebrews called Jesus is Better. In Leviticus, we saw how God set up the tabernacle, the priesthood, animal sacrifices, etc. but Hebrews confirms that those things all pointed to Jesus. So if you're wondering why we make such a big deal about Jesus, I invite you to join us for this sermon series. 

Next Sunday, I won't be with you all as I'll be speaking at Vision Church in Raleigh at 10AM for their 12th church anniversary.

Dress Code, Spreading the Gospel to Japan, Skits & Pizza (Pastoral Emphasis from 7/26)

Thanks to all who came out to the Church Family Meeting. Our focus is reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
