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.

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 ...

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
