Hi Pastor Mike, I assume by your participation in the ice bucket challenge that you are not aware that ALS Association funds research using destroyed human embryos. I think you would agree that Christians should not support an organization that benefits (all in the name of research) from the killing of babies. Lila Rose who is a pro- life activist and Tony Miano have been active in educating the public and Christians to this reality. There are organizations who are working on a cure for ALS who do not use stem cells in their research. They are more worthy to receive donation support as they recognize the sanctity of life.

Great message last Sunday by the way. I can't wait to meet you in person. My family and I pray for you and yours!

Yes, we knew about the ALS research and their dangers when it comes to aborted babies and I forgot to mention in the video who we were going to donate too!I guess the thought of cold water being poured over my head made my brain go blank at that moment. We have a friend who has MS and we're going to donate towards her cause. But you are right! It's sad to see people not research the dangers in some of these organizations. Tony Miano is a wonder man and a great resource to getting the facts out there. On a side note! Thank you and we're looking forward to it as well next week! :)

Names of God's Children

Image
If you are a child of the living God, you are no longer called a sinner; "For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls" 1Peter 2:25. We are still a sinners but God looks at us not as sinners, but as His precious children. Why? Because of what Jesus did on the Cross for you and me, sinners saved by sovereign grace. Jesus, is the Overseer and Lover of our souls, as the Good Shepherd. Jesus said in John's Gospel "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep." John 10:14-15. The Bible has many names for God's children, sinners who are saved by His wondrous grace and mercy. You are the: Beloved of God (Rom 1:7) Beloved Brethren (James 2:5) Children of God (John 1:12) Sons of the Living God (Rom 9:26) Sons of the Most High (Luke 6:35) Children of the Promise (Rom 9:8) Dear Children ( Eph 5:1

TRUE JOY IS ONLY FOUND IN CHRIST

Image
INTRODUCTION How relevant is this letter to the Philippian Church? Let me ask this question before you answer that one!  Is it easy to be a Christian in today’s world?  The answer is no, it’s the opposite; it’s hard and feels sometimes like an uphill battle.  This letter should encourage you to live for Christ despite the opposition with a joy that nothing can steal that joy away.  Where are you going to find true joy?  Because Paul in this letter radiates a infectious joy, though he writes this letter from a Roman’s prison cell.  In this letter Paul helps us to understand that joy isn’t resulting from comfortable circumstances, but from a living, vibrant communion with Christ.  I say that because look what Paul says in chapter two “Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me .” Phil 2:17-18.  Paul’s circumstance doesn’t change hi

THE HEART OF GOD REVEALED

Image
Luke 19:41-44 What are some of the things that break the heart of God? Death, senseless killing and the sorrow it brings breaks the heart of God. A Church without a shepherd breaks the heart of God. False teaching and compromise breaks the heart of God. Broken marriages/ families break the heart of God. Delinquent and self-absorbed parenting breaks the heart of God. Disobedient children break the heart of God. Unbelief and rejection breaks God's heart. My sin, your sin, breaks the heart of God. The list is endless to what breaks the heart of God because He knows the consequences man will face and God knows you cannot stand against His Judgement and wrath.  We come to this passage that is a day of mix emotions and a building up of emotions for the disciples.  From the statement that Thomas said “….Let us also go, that we may die with him.” John 11:16.  From the joyful singing and celebrating “ "Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO
