No Evening Service on Father's Day
There will not be an Evening Service on Father's Day, June 15th.
We hope you will have the opportunity to spend your day with family and loved ones.

 

 

Children's Church (Sunday School)
On the first Sunday of each month the children will remain in the sanctuary during the Sunday Morning Service.

On the remaining Sundays the children are generally dismissed to Children's Church at "Hug and Howdy" time, which is right after Communion. NOTE: For the next few weeks the children will dismiss to class at the beginning of the service for a special VBS style class, since our original VBS plans got rained out.

 

 

We are Studying I Timothy on Sunday Mornings
Having just completed a study of the gospel of John, we are now beginnning the book of
I Timothy on Sunday mornings.

Come join us for a blessed time drawing closer to God and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

 

Sunday Evening Service
We have been studying Galatians on Sunday evenings. We intend to pause this study as we plan to spend the 8 weeks following Father's Day watching the 8 episodes of the 5th season of The Chosen on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m., as it is being released on Amazon Prime this month.

 

 

Adult Bible Study on Wednesday Evenings
We are currently studying the Book of Acts on Wednesday Evenings. This is an informal time of Bible Study with plenty of opportunity for questions and comments.

Sincere Faith
I Timothy 1:3-5
Sunday Morning
Pastor Greg Isom

"As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith."
I Timothy 1:3-4

We also need to take heed to not get caught up in discussions (hypothetical questions) that seem to take us down a rabbit hole and place our focus on things that really don't matter. We don't need to dwell there. Be careful to always bring the conversation back to what we do know, focusing on that and acknowledging that there are some things that we are not given to understand. Peter told us this:

"as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,"
II Peter 1:3 

Everything that we need to grow and thrive as a Jesus follower has been given to us. There is nothing hidden from us that we need to know. Yes, there are things that we are beyond our understanding at our level of faith and that needs to be okay with us. We must be able to trust God to reveal to us only what we need or what we can handle at that point of our walk with Him and place the rest on the altar not letting it consume us and undermine our faith. There are some who "wrestle" with this to their own destruction. Paul now gives us the true purpose of this command to speak only truth.

"Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,"
I Timothy 1:5

Paul shows that the purpose of these commands are to change the believer from the inside out. We must not only hear the truth, but we must obey it as well and do it in the right attitude. The teachings of the scriptures are to create in us a true love for God, His Word, and each other.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."
Matthew 5:6

Galatians 3
Sunday Evening
Bro. Sam Pemberton

"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Galatians 3:26-29
