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.

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. Whether you're called to serve across the street or across the globe, M:T will connect you with like-minded ministry partners and 20+ organizations and equip you with practical tools and teaching to reignite your passion for the Great Commission.

As we anticipate the M:T Conference, join with others on 10/21 at 7 PM, to pray for gospel unity, a passion for missions, and meaningful ministry connections. 



Before the M:T Prayer Gathering, we have our Church-Wide Prayer Rally on Tuesday, 10/15, from 7:00 – 8:00pm. The Youth Ministry is hosting, but everyone is invited to come out and pray. You may submit any prayer requests online or in the prayer request box at the back of the sanctuary.

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.
