Durham Rescue Mission, Initial Sermon, Prayer Rally (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/19)

Today, we concluded our EQUIP Conference during the worship service with a mini-sermon and a Q&A panel with the conference speakers (including Jae Smith, Sandra Broadwater, Tina Wyche, Kelly Smith, and Lydia Amekuedi).

We welcome the following people who recently joined the church:
  • Lisa Atkins - Joined on Christian Experience 
  • Tyrell Brassfield - Joined & Trusted Christ as Personal Savior 

We have an opportunity to outside the walls of the church to serve at the Durham Rescue Mission on April 7th. It’s coordinated by Oneness Couples Ministry, but anyone is invited to volunteer. This is the Rescue Mission’s annual Easter event for the community to serve meals, distribute care items, and give Easter baskets to the children. We are limited to 30 spots. Please see Deaconess Rhonda Spivey with any questions. 




Next Sunday at 4pm, Minister Tony Scott will be giving his initial sermon at Mt. Zion. Everyone is invited to come out to support our brother and to hear the Word of God. 

Our next Church-Wide Prayer Rally is Tuesday, 3/21, from 7 to 8pm. The Praise Team will be hosting. Join us for an hour of corporate prayer.

The EQUIP Conference was a great setup for our next sermon series starting next Sunday entitled "Witnesses for Christ".

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.
