”The word of God contains the most awful denunciations of the Divine wrath. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

Men/Boys Camp Out

Church Work Day
Did you update your calendar for this event? If not, stop reading now and go do so.
The work day is on Saturday, September 27. Be a part of the day and help us make some minor repairs to our facility.
“One of the reasons there is false faith is that some people think they are trusting Christ to bring them to the Father, when they dont even want the Father. They want their sins forgiven and they want to escape hell, but they dont want God. They dont love him. The very notion of knowing him and loving and wanting him above all things is foreign to them. So they may say that they are trusting Christ to bring them to the Father, but, in fact, they are trying to use Christ to get the gifts of God, not God.”
John Piper
Pastor’s Postscripts
Next Sunday is the last Sunday of the month which means we will observe the Lords Supper during our morning worship service. It is also the 5th Sunday of the month. Therefore, our next Q & A Fellowship will be at 6 p.m. this Sunday evening. And, of course, the Q & A Fellowship follows Discipleship Training at 5 p.m. So I encourage everyone to come out this Sunday and participate in the activities of our church.
I am pleased, but not surprised, to hear the good reports from the first week of the Ladies Book Study. The women are meeting again this Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. and it is not too late to be a part of this group. If you have never attended one of the sessions of previous book studies, I strongly recommend you come Tuesday night and give it a try.
May Jesus bless each of you this week as you strive to minister in His name!
