Missions: Triangle event, EQUIP Conference, Easter Food Drive (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/10)

One of our initiatives for this year that ties into our theme of Advancing the Kingdom of God is to participate in Missions: Triangle events. So I want to encourage you to attend the upcoming event hosted at The Summit Church in Apex. This event will discuss how to share the gospel across cultures through hospitality. 

 

On Friday & Saturday, we're having our EQUIP Conference. This schedule is 7- 9pm on Friday and 9am-12pm on Saturday. This conference is geared towards equipping people for evangelism and discipleship. This year's focus will be Build on the Rock: Submission. There will be a message, panels, Q&A, book giveaways, and breakouts (Men, Women, Married, and Singles including youth). EVERYONE is invited to attend. 

 

Mt. Zion is partnering with Dorcas Ministries for their first annual Easter Food Drive! We want to help fill their shelves so we can help serve and bless our community. The plan is to collect donations in March and focus on what is most needed in the pantry each week. 


 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone is invited to our Easter Weekend events. 

  • 3/29 - Good Friday service from 6:30-7:30pm 
  • 3/30 – Easter Egg Hunt (with popcorn and hot dogs) at 1pm 
  • 3/31 – Sunrise Easter service at 6am. That will be our ONLY service (no 10am service).

 

I share what the benediction at the end of the service means and why we raise our heands. Benedictions are blessings you speak upon another. The minister raises their hand to symbolize bestowing a blessing from God to the congregation. The congregation raises their hands to symbolize receiving the blessing from God.

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.
