Studying the Gospel of John on Sunday Mornings
We are doing an in depth study of the Gospel of John on Sunday mornings.

John's gospel is written intimatley from the perspective of one who considered himself to be Jesus' best friend as you could argue no one knew Him better. He lived a long life following Jesus from perhaps his teens into his 90s. It was a long life, but sometime difficult one often being persecuted for his faith. He was exiled to the island of Patmos later in his life where he was given wonderful visions of heaven and future events which he wrote about in the Book of Revelations. He is the only apostle to die of natural causes. His Gospel differs from the other three in that rather than telling a story in order, he hand picks events to prove a certain point. The point he emphasizes is that Jesus is the Son of God. His close relationship with Jesus empowers his words to have extra special meaning as an insider rather than one observing from the outside. He actually states the purpose for writing this account near the end in chapter 20.

"And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name."
John 20:30-31.

 

Studying the Book of Revelation Sunday Evenings
There is a reason Revelations is the last book in our Bible. Not only does the Book look forward to future events, but it also ties together many of the loose ends we find in the other 65 books of the Bible. To understand Revelations, we must have a good knowledge of those other 65 books. Many of the symbols, events, numbers, color references are nearly encountered previously in the word of God. My commentary refers to this book as the "Grand Central Station" of the Bible where all the "trains" of thought that run throughout the scriptures are brought together; as we will see on display shortly and John describes Jesus. Central themes such as the scarlet thread of redemption, the nation of Israel, the Gentile nations, the church, Satan, and the end times all are brought together. This truly makes the study of the Book one that can become as in depth as you would like it to be. You can dig as deep as you wish. For us, we will just dive in and see where the Spirit leads us.

Sunday evening at is a wonderful time of digging into God's Word. Also, we are usually blessed with a couple of Bluegrass gospel songs from Dick and Rita on Sunday evenings. Come join us!

Mother's Day 2025
Proverbs 31:10-31
Sunday Morning
Pastor Greg Isom

A mother/woman of virtue displays strength through her self-sacrificing lifestyle. Her giving of herself does not display weakness, but displays her strength. She uses her words to build others up with wisdom and kindness, not tearing them down with judgment or criticism. Take notice of how often you praise your children and husband for the things they are doing right compared to how often you tell them their mistakes or shortcomings. In doing these things, your children and husband will love and respect you for your efforts and called you "blessed." Notice in verse 30 what the driving factor is for all that she does; "a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." A woman who embraces the role God has called her to glorifies Him with "the fruits of her hands." She is a doer and not a hearer only following Jesus faithfully.

I have to admit in just reading the passage, I am exhausted just thinking about someone doing all of these things. Please don't feel I or anyone else will be holding you to this standard. Just as we all aim for perfection in following Jesus, we know it is unattainable and we all fall short. To ask a woman to do all of this truly is next to impossible. But ladies, through this scripture I hope you are challenged to be all that you can be for God and your family. God has called you to this role and realize perfection can be your goal but simply do the best that you can. Be the glue that holds your household together and trust God to give you the wisdom and energy to do it well. Be the thermostat of your household keeping things at a comfortable temperature even when storms come your way.
