Missions: Together, Mortgage Burning Ceremony, My Hope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/22)

We welcome the following family that came forward last week to join on Christian Experience: Zach & LeAnn Williams (with their son, Trey)

One of our church initiatives is partnering with Missions: Together which is a collective that desire to ignite the passion of missions in churches. We're putting on a conference in NYC next weekend which I will be participating (but I'll be back for Sunday). Mark your calendar for our next M:T conference in our area on 11/2 in Apex. You can register here.

Just a reminder that on 10/6, we will have our Mortgage Burning Ceremony immediately after the service. It will be a short ceremony as we celebrate God's faithfulness to Mt. Zion. 


 

Our next My Hope Sunday will be October 13. All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to join us at church on My Hope Sunday. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. At the Welcome Center, we have commitment cards where you can write down the name(s) of those you are committed to inviting. We will collect the commitment cards on 10/6. Start praying about who you will invite for My Hope Sunday.

We baptized five people today. Four were scheduled and then we had the mother of one of the baptismal candidate to come forward to be baptized. Praise God for a total of five that were baptized including a mother and daughter and a brother and sister.

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.
