Sharing Life Together


Pastor’s Weekly

We are planning water baptism on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 10th. Please let us know if you want to be baptized. Please be in prayer for those who will be baptized. The early church would have at least a couple of people fast and pray for the person who would be baptized. It is such an important public confession of faith in Jesus.

Sharing Jesus

“Above all, put on love,” – Colossians 3:14
“Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.” – Matt Chandler
“Love God,” with the best of your energy and “love your neighbor as yourself….go (urge others to also follow) make disciples, baptizing, teaching,” – Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:18-20
“Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.” – David Platt
The more effective we are in sharing faith in Jesus as Savior person to person the more we will also be in sharing this from one generation to the next.

Being Strategic About the News

Get strategic about news sources. Reduce stress. Think. Pray through a thoughtful approach to current events.
This free email, with links to specific news stories, has been helpful to me, in keeping up with the news, better than several paid services I’ve used. The Pour Over: https://www.web.thepourover.org/subscribe?ref=Kw6vI7VQq4

Good to Know


April Bible Study

“It was for freedom that Christ set us free,” What is Galatians 5:1 communicating with us?  Jesus Christ saved us with freedom as an essential ingredient of His purpose. This month we turn from Colossians to Galatians. This is a small and yet powerful section of Scripture. It brings profound spiritual joy. Let’s study it together. To that end, let’s learn more about how to study a specific word in its original Biblical language – using “freedom” from Galatians as our focus for April 8 & 15. See “freedom” in Galatians 5:1  G1657 – eleutheria – Strong’s Greek Lexicon (ESV)  Here’s Justin’s “freedom” word study that we may want to work on collaboratively.
