Clean 'Em Up & Bring 'Em Out, Not a Competition, Vote with Biblical Wisdom (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/27)

We welcome our newest members who has completed NMO & their Membership Interview): Zach & Nicole Williams 

We're having a special event for our next Men's Image Bearers Meeting on 11/9 at 8am called Clean 'Em Up & Bring 'Em Out. It will be a Father/Son/Mentee/Discipleship Automobile Show. If you would like to showcase your vehicle, bring it out and let's have a fun time of fellowship and getting to know one another. 

You are invited to attend the Missions:Together Conference on 11/2 to reignite your passion for missions and gain practical tools to make a difference. Our emphasis will be on our competition with the Kingdom of Darkness — not with each other! Learn from four exciting speakers and four breakout sessions. Meet exhibitors representing the spectrum of missions work. 

Missions:Together Conference, "Not a Competition" will be hosted at The Summit Church in Apex. Come out to be equipped with practical tools and teaching to reignite your passion for the Great Commission. The event is free with lunch provided. Bring 5 friends with you to the conference and score a $25 gift card! If you refer 1 person, you can get a $5 gift card if they mention your name at registration. 

Since prayer is the strategy and fuel for missions, there will be a dedicated prayer team at the conference that will be praying during the conference and for people as needed. The conference prayer team is looking for prayer warriors and intercessors to join them in prayer. So if you're interested, please let me know. 

I want to encourage everyone to go out and vote and more importantly to vote with biblical wisdom. Do your research on candidates, especially those who are local, so you can vote intelligently. Compare what candidates stand for and compare against biblical standards so you can vote biblically. Also, keep in mind the actual power or ability that a candidate actually has. Even the President cannot do whatever they want. The two Presidential powers they have is to select judges and to lead the military. Then on election night, I want everyone to go to bed and sleep well. No matter who wins the election, the mission of the church doesn't change. As Pastor Stephen Davey said at the recent Shepherds 360 conference, "We don't need to save America, we need to save American". Regardless of who is in the office, the church's mission is to make disciples by sharing the Gospel and teaching others about 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 called us to continues. Without the burden o

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.
