Church guide

Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

Church members should expect some level of ministry and concern. But, for a myriad of reasons we have turned church membership into country club membership. You pay your dues and you are entitled to certain benefits.The biblical basis of church membership is clear in Scripture. The Apostle Paul even uses the “member” metaphor to describe what every believer should be like in a local congregation. In 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, Paul describes church members not by what they should receive in a local church, but by the ministry they should give. The main reason people leave a church is because they have an entitlement mentality rather than a servant mentality.

Psalm 46:4-5 [4] There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. [5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

A Biiiiiiiiiigggg Thank You to our mowing angels David & Susan Chandler for mowing and manicuring the church lawn all summer long. It looks so much like a golf course I've had to run golfers away. (No not really). But... it is beautiful. And a Biiiiiigggg Thank You to all of our cleaning angels who faithfully clean the church every week. Your work and labor of love is not in vain. Let's have great church tomorrow!!

I'm already hearing about the great message and great service today at Abundant Life. Thank you Timothy McFall for filling in and preaching for me today. We all love you and the family.

THANK GOD WE WENT TO CHURCH Psalm 73:2,17 "But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end."

Jesus said in Matthew 5:13 "Ye are the salt of the earth." I really believe that Proverbs 18:21 has a lot to do with being salty. It says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." What we say and the manner in which we say it, determines wether we affect people for the good or bad. I pray my words incites thirst in others for the good presence of God.
