As many of you already know the forecast for Saturday night and Sunday morning is calling for snow with differentiating opinions how how much. If our services are canceled for Sunday morning, a decision will be made early Sunday morning. We will communicate this decision by Facebook, email, and text. For the ones who do not get any of these our deacon body will be calling them and also if you know of someone who does not get them or check them you could help us in letting them know as soon as you know. Thank you Bro. Leroy CrouchRead More →

Last night we looked at Jesus being thankful and one of our discussion topic’s was praying in public over our food. I couldn’t believe it when I read this article this morning and I thought wow! Just had to send it to everyone! When I saw the headline, I braced for bad news: “A Mom and Her Sons Bowed Their Heads to Pray at a Restaurant.” I assumed that someone objected to their public prayer, and wondered if I was going to read about another challenge to religious liberty. Instead, here’s what happened. After the Oklahoma family prayed over their food, an anonymous benefactor paid forRead More →

Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.” … John 4:13-14 Jesus knew the Samaritan woman who met Him at the well had searched for satisfaction and come up short. He knew her heart was empty, without love or self-worth or meaning or fulfillment or happiness. And so He gently pointed out to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.” What was “this water”? The woman took it to mean the water in Jacob’s well, but Jesus was speaking to her heart. All those who look to draw their satisfaction from theRead More →

Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God … Luke 9:62 There’s a story of a famous battle where the general ordered the destruction of his ships so that there would be no turning back for his army. They could not turn back; they could not retreat. They realized that they had no ship to go back to so they had to go forward and fight all the way.  We need to have the same attitude. When we go forward in God, we have nothing to lose. God commanded the people ofRead More →

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ … 2 Timothy 2:3 Serving Christ requires perseverance. We may encounter obstacles of poor health, troubled relationships, or difficult circumstances. But as a good soldier we press on—with God’s strength—because we serve the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who sacrificed Himself for us!  God’s love does not keep us from trials, but sees us through them … Leroy  Read More →

In the beginning, God said, let there be light and there was light.   All that came into existence, everything we know comes by the Word.    The enemy, wants to erase the Word of life by erasing the Word of God. In the garden, he made them doubt God.    It’s a war with the word of the enemy against the Word of God!   The enemy speaks words of destruction to tear down and destroy. We’re to not only have nothing to do with the enemy’s mouth, but we have to oppose the words of the enemy with the Word of God.  WhenRead More →

She spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem … Luke 2:38 Widowed early and possibly childless, she may have felt purposeless and destitute. But her focus was on God and serving Him. She was yearning for the Messiah, but in the meantime she was busy about God’s business—praying, fasting, and teaching others all that she had learned from Him. Finally the day arrived when she—now in her eighties—saw the infant Messiah in His mother’s arms. All her waiting had been worth it! She praised God and then told the good news to others! Who will you tell about Jesus today?Read More →
