Pastor's Points

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1 (KJV) What an amazing promise of both temporal and eternal security!   But just how do we find that “secret place of the most High” to live there?   It isn’t so much an actual place or location as it is a condition of being.   That “secret place” is to be in unity and at peace with God and that is only achieved by total obedience to His Word and Will.   We can get there from here but there is a small price to be paid.   We’ll need to surrender our lives to Him, open our minds to His Will, love Him with all our hearts, follow where He leads and do the works that please Him.    The wise will seek Him, the true will obey Him, committed will serve Him and the faithful will reap great reward!  

Ever feel like the whole world has come against you? Nothing goes your way, everything you attempt fails and at best, your future us bleak.   Bad   luck, circumstance or perhaps spiritual trial or Godly punishment! All of these things are possible, buy why?    Why me?   Why me?   You cry out!   Life is not fair!   Ever consider your misfortunes are not due to anybody else’s fault but your own?   God’s blessing is not really upon us until we truly live and walk in His Will.   When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.   Prov. 16:7   How about it?   Is your life pleasing to God today?   If we desire “goodness” should we not sow it?    “7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of th...

Ever contemplate the difference between a “hand out” and a “hand up”?   A hand out may appear to be the answer to our dilemma, but it only meets an immediate need and usually insufficiently so.   A “hand up” elevates us from a depressing or hopeless situation and sets us on solid ground with a perspective and fresh horizons.   Salvation is in and by Jesus lifts us from our fallen sinful condition and forever makes us stand on the solid rock of God’s eternal promise.   From such a lofty vantage point we can see where we were and where we are going.   In Jesus, a glorious eternity lies before us. 1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is that...

What a great week of revival we've had!  Gary Newman and wife Janis have been such a blessing as they've ministered to our Dorcas Ladies, have brought wonderful music and powerful preaching to us. Thanks everyone who's participated in organizing our church for revival, attended faithfully, supported it financially and prayed for it fervently.  Continue to pray for revival and seek ways to make yourself more available to God through His Church. I love you Guys!, Pastor

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.   Matt 25:23 (KJV) This line taken from a parable by Jesus to describe judgment day should cause to reflect how and why we serve Him or why we do not.  Salvation is the product of faith and not works (Rom. 6:23) but it is works (James 2:18)  that demonstrates our faith and obedience to God.  If you stood before God today, what would you have to show for all He has entrusted to you?  Will YOU be welcomed into the “the joy of thy Lord?”

     A young boy built a small sailboat, placed it in a pond to sail for the first time.   The wind quickly carried it out of his reach to the other side of the pond.   He hurried to retrieve it but when he arrived another boy had picked it up and held it.   Knowing who the boy was, the finder quickly declared “Finder keepers, Losers weepers!”   The little boat builder was sad and then asked “How much will you sell it to me for?”   They agreed on a price and the exchange was made.      The young builder looked at his boat and said “You are twice mine, I created you and today I have redeemed you.”   We were made by God; we became lost to Him because of our sin.   Today, He wants to redeem you.   Will you surrender to Him today and let Jesus pay the price of your redemption?    18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver    ...

The victory of the church, your individual victory is due to Jesus’ death and resurrection!  In dying he took our sin and in rising again he gave us victory over death.  Through Jesus we have LIFE and LIFE Eternal.  We are to live and work in life.  Allow me to draw your attention to verse 6 and ask this same question.  If you are of life, why do you seek to live among the dead works?  Seek Jesus, choose life today.  If Jesus is not where we live, where we work, where we play or even where we worship it is because we have chosen to exclude Him from our existence.  We will not find Life among the Dead things of this world. 1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulcher,       bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of t...
