Merry Christmas, NYE Service, '25 Church Theme (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/22)

Merry Christmas to All!

 

 

Today, we had a wonderful Christmas Worship Service with singing, dance, signing, and a brief sermon to help us Worship the King. As we celebrate this Christmas season, I pray that you experience the true joy of Christmas: Knowing that our Savior was born to save His people from their sins. Regardless of what you find under the tree this year, remember that the greatest gift of all was hung on the tree for our salvation. That gift, Jesus Christ, is available to all who place their faith in Him. Let this be a time to reflect on the immeasurable love God has for us.

A Special Announcement

We rejoice as Bro. Daquon Johnson has rededicated his life to Christ! This decision is a beautiful reminder of God’s ongoing work in our lives and His faithfulness in calling us back to Him. Please keep Daquon in your prayers as he grows in faith and walks closely with the Lord.

2025 Church Theme: “On Mission”

Looking ahead, we are excited to share our theme for 2025: “On Mission.” As believers, we are called to be on mission for Christ. This means sharing the Gospel wherever God has placed us—whether in our homes, neighborhoods, communities, schools, workplaces, or even across the globe. Let us commit to living intentionally, always ready to be His hands and feet in a world that desperately needs the hope of Jesus.

As this year comes to a close, may we be reminded of God’s faithfulness and His call to action. Let’s embrace the opportunities ahead to grow deeper in our faith and to share the Good News with those around us. 

Have a blessed Christmas!

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.
