EASTER SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - APRIL 20, 2025

Please join us this Easter Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ ... the One who willingly gave His life to secure redemption for those who choose to seek Him.  Pastor Brian Pinson will share the message from the Scriptures in Matthew 28:1-8.  The sermon "THE GREAT JOY OF EASTER" will remind us why the resurrection is so very important to our salvation.  On that particular morning, the Lord Jesus Christ ushered in TRUE LASTING JOY!  He promised it would arrive ... and arrive it did!  Those who had seen Him crucified were filled with sorrow and grief ... until they saw Him resurrected from the dead ... just as He had promised them!  They were filled with such unspeakable joy ... the joy that can only come from God!!!  We can have that same joy ... not only in eternity with Christ but it is also a present reality to those who look to Him!  

We welcome you to share in this Easter Celebration with us.  Our service begins at 10:30 a.m. in person or online via Facebook.  Invite your family and friends to come with you!  Come with open minds and open hearts ... you will be blessed!

PALM SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - APRIL 13, 2025

This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will be sharing from the Gospel of John about the importance of Palm Sunday to the Christian.  Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the week referred to as Passion Week  ... the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.  People were spreading out their robes and palm leaves on the ground before Jesus ... something that they would do for a triumphant king returning from battle.  At the end of that week, He was rejected, alone, beaten, betrayed, and crucified ... all according to the Father's divine plan.  Jesus was the divine sacrifice to pay the sin debt for fallen man.  The Romans did not take His life ... He laid it down willingly to fulfill His Father's plan for our redemption.

If you want to hear more about the significance of Palm Sunday, join us this Sunday at 10:30 a.m., either in person or online via Facebook.  Come with open hearts and open minds -- let the Holy Spirit renew your understanding about the great sacrifice Jesus made to redeem us!!  Everyone is welcome!

WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - MARCH 23, 2025

This week, Pastor Brian will be preaching the third and last sermon in the series "CONTENTMENT IN THE MIDST OF CALAMITY".  The first sermon's focus was on I.  Contentment Comes in "Knowing God Provides", and the second sermon was about the fact that II.  Contentment Comes "Through a Process of Learning".   This week's focus will be III. Contentment Comes "Through God's Power".  We all face trials and calamities in our lives.  God allows us to go through difficult times so our faith and trust in Him will grow and flourish.  In Philippians 4, we see that Paul had reached a point where He could be content and joyful even in the worst of situations because his joy and contentment were in God, not fixed to his circumstances ... but he was able to reach this point only by knowing that God provides, learning through the trials and calamities that God allowed, and specifically through the Power of God that sustained him every single moment.  Paul was able to see beyond his circumstances and focus entirely on what would bring God glory and honor and the fact that he knew that heaven awaited him when his work on earth was accomplished.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 
9   But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10  For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.

WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - MARCH 9, 2025

This Sunday, Pastor Brian will begin a new sermon series called "Contentment in the Midst of Calamity".  Philippians 4:10-13 is the text for the messages, which talks about the life of Apostle Paul and how he learned to live above his circumstances and maintain joy and contentment.  In the chaotic world we live in, we can find that same joy and contentment that Paul experienced...only through our Savior, Jesus Christ.  As believers, we must learn to trust God when tragedy, calamity, or catastrophe strikes ... we must have confidence that He is working and positioning everything around us to be in complete harmony of His divine will for our lives.  We may not understand the "why" of these trials, but we can rise above the doubt and claim our trust in Him.  He already knows the end of our story.  

Want to learn more?  Please join us in person or online via Facebook this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. to hear the first sermon in the series.  We look forward to seeing you!  Everyone is welcome.

WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - MARCH 2, 2025

This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will finish up the sermon series "A Sobering Warning from the Bible" with Part IV, based upon Hebrews 12:25-29.  So far in the series, we have heard
I. The Danger of Refusing God (v. 25) and II. The Destruction to Come from God (vv. 26-27).  This week the focus is on III. The Determination to Fear God (vv. 28-29).  Verse 28 tells believers to be grateful "for receiving" a kingdom that cannot be shaken...this is in the present tense!  Once we accept Jesus as our Savior, we become part of His kingdom!  His kingdom cannot be shaken, so when judgment falls and the heavens and the earth are shaken and pass away, all that will remain is His kingdom and His people in it.  Just for this alone, we are to worship God with reverence and awe for Who He is and for what He has done. 

What is the sobering warning from the Bible?  For the unbeliever, there is an approaching judgment that you cannot evade if you die in your sins.  The only way to heaven is to receive the precious gift of salvation.  For the believer, we continue to experience things that are not permanent, but we must look on life with divine objectivity.  We have the wonderful words of God's promises that when the end comes, we will remain a part of God's unshakable kingdom forever.   

Join us at 10:30 a.m.  in person or online via Facebook to find out more.  Today is the day of salvation - every day is a gift from God ... one more opportunity to accept redemption through God's salvation plan.  We look forward to having you with us - everyone is welcome.

COMMUNION SERVICE - FEBRUARY 23, 2025

This Sunday we will be celebrating The Lord's Supper.  Jesus instituted the Communion Service with His disciples recorded in Matthew 26:26-20, Mark 14:22-25, and Luke 22:19-20, as well as in 1 Corinthians 11.  These verses describe when Jesus was keeping the Passover with His disciples for the last time.  Jesus took the bread, and after He had given thanks, broke the bread and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."  He also took the cup and said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."  Each time we eat the bread and drink from the cup, we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.  Our service begins at 10:30 a.m. in person or online via Facebook.  Everyone is welcome.

WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - FEBRUARY 16, 2025

This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will be preaching Part III of the sermon series called "A SOBERING WARNING FROM THE BIBLE", based upon Hebrews 12:25-29.  This is a message series that reminds us that many, many people in this world have become increasingly apathetic and indifferent to the Gospel Message of Salvation offered by Jesus Christ, our Savior, to all humanity.  We have warnings throughout the Bible, God's Holy Word, that there is a coming judgment for those who reject God's precious gift of salvation through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, for our redemption.  The writer of Hebrews is quoting from the Book of Haggai, who prophesied that a dark and threatening cloud will spread over the sky as God will fulfill a "promised" cataclysmic arrival and judgment.  He will shake not only the earth but also the heavens, and the only thing that will remain is that which is truly real:  the Word of God and those who who have been redeemed and belong to the kingdom of God.  

God's desire is not to pour out His wrath and judgment upon the earth, but His holiness and His righteousness demands that He does so because sin can never enter heaven.  Sin requires a sacrifice.  Our amazing God is also a God of love and longsuffering, giving humanity the blessed opportunity to come into His saving graces.  John 3:16-17 reminds us:  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him."
As true believers, we know that when Jesus gave His life, shedding His blood on the cross, He was the one and only sacrificial offering that was needed to cover our sins.  Unless we accept God's gift of redemption provided through His Son, we stand condemned and will suffer the judgment to come.

God allows each person to make his or her own choice - to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and live in heaven throughout all eternity, OR to reject Jesus as Savior and receive a judgment of eternity in  pain and suffering in hell.   There are no other options; Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

Come study with us the Scriptures in Hebrews 12 to find out more about this individual decision each of us must make.  God's Holy Word is the source of ultimate truth!  Our service begins at 10:30 a.m.; you can join us in person or online via Facebook.  Everyone is welcome!

WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - FEBRUARY 9, 2025

This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will be continuing the sermon series called "A SOBERING WARNING FROM THE BIBLE", based upon Hebrews 12:25-29.  This is a message series that reminds us that many, many people in this world have become increasingly apathetic and indifferent to the Gospel Message of Salvation offered by Jesus Christ, our Savior, to all humanity.  Believing in God's salvation plan, or even that there is a God, simply isn't enough.  Even the demons believe and they tremble.  God's message is a one of love and hope, but to refuse to accept God's invitation of salvation will result in a judgment against unbelievers that is not only frightening and terrifying, but there will be NO END TO THE MISERY OF THEIR SOUL!!!  (Revelation 20:11-15).  The only way to receive the promise of redemption and an eternity in heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.  We must confess that we are sinners, ask for repentance, allow God to work His will in our lives, and believe in all that He is and trust Him. 

We must realize the seriousness of our choice - to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and live in heaven throughout all eternity, OR to deny Jesus as Savior and turn away to follow your own will with a hardened heart, and thus receive a judgment of eternity in  pain and suffering in hell.   God allows each person to make that choice.  There is no promise of tomorrow, and there is no guarantee of another opportunity for you to make your choice to give your life to God before you leave this world.  Today is the day of salvation for you!!  Joshua 24:15 tells us to "choose this day whom you will serve" and if you choose Christ, you can say, "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." 

Will you enter eternity as one of His children, or will you enter as one of His enemies?  You can't be a little of both and make it into heaven.

Come study with us the Scriptures in Hebrews 12 to find out more about this individual decision each of us must make.  God's Holy Word is the source of ultimate truth!  Our service begins at 10:30 a.m.; you can join us in person or online via Facebook.  Everyone is welcome!!

JOHN 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2 He was in the beginning with God.  3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.  4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

WORSHIP SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - JANUARY 26, 2025

Pastor Brian was out sick last week, so this Sunday he will deliver the second part to the message, "Remembering the Unnoticed and Unappreciated", from Scriptures found in the Old Testament book of Nehemiah.  There are several other individuals that Nehemiah mentions specifically who are not always front and center, but who nonetheless are workers/servants behind the scenes to further the message of the Gospel.  The Bible teaches us to be careful, even mindful, not to forget those individuals who not only may be working behind the scenes but may also come from different backgrounds and cultures that we have.  "Jesus teaches us that regardless of their backgrounds, and/or their former sins, they are nevertheless a part of the overall Body of Christ; His Divine Body, the Church."  God has designed each of us with traits, characteristics, personalities, experiences, skills, and so on, so that we can fill a specific place in His Kingdom.  As we continue to submit to His Will for our lives, He will continue to lead us into fulfilling the work He has for each of us to do, individually and as part of the Body of Christ.

We invite you to join us, either in person or online via Facebook, this Sunday at 10:30 a.m., to hear this reassuring message.  Everyone is welcome!!
