VBS, Speaking at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Happy Father’s Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/18)

Congratulations to Phillip & Jakayla Credle on getting married yesterday!

We welcome Sis. Teresa C. Gaddy who recently joined the church on Christian Experience.

VBS starts this Wednesday, June 21st through Friday the 23rd, 6PM to 9PM each night. Then on next Sunday, we'll have our VBS wrap-up during the church service. Right after the service, stick around for a Family cookout. To each of our Mt. Zion families, please feel free to bring your favorite dessert to share Come dressed comfortably in your VBS T-shirts and jeans. 

Don't eat too much at the cook-out because later that afternoon, I will be speaking at Ebenezer M.B. Church in Durham at 4pm for their Ministers Ordination Service. The Male Choir will be accompanying me. All are welcome to come out. Your prayers and support is appreciated. 

Mt. Zion is blessed to have men who are taking responsibility for their children. 
Mt. Zion is blessed to have men who are following God. 
Mt. Zion is blessed to have men who are leading their homes. 
Mt. Zion is blessed to have men who are raising their children. 
So we celebrate those good fathers today! Happy Father's Day! 

Like Mother's Day, Father's Day can be tough for many. Whether your father is no longer living, you didn't know your father, your father was not much of a father, or even if you desire to be a father and it has not happened it, I want to remind you that God has revealed Himself as Father and through faith in Jesus, we have received the spirit of adoption and can call God, Abba (Daddy). Even if you've messed up as a dad, remember that you don't have to be perfect because Jesus was perfect for you. Keep your eyes on Jesus and He'll sanctify you to become a better father.

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.
