Last Sunday was such a wonderful Lord’s Day! We had a great time of worship and fellowship together. It was so great to be back together in the fellowship hall to have a meal and spend time with one another. I got to thinking though, why do we wait for a special occasion to spend time together outside of worship? I know many of us in fact do spend time together outside of corporate worship but generally we as the church don’t. However, that is exactly what God intended when H

Today is “Back to Church” Sunday. We are so excited that you have chosen to come worship with us today. When I think of this idea of “back to church”, the first thing I think of is how important it is that we assemble to worship. However, it is equally important for us to be here for Bible class. Especially our kids and teens. Our children are in such a impressionable state and they need us to set an example for them. I can remember when I was growing up we were always there

This past Wednesday we started a series on prayer in our teen class. Prayer is something that seems so simple, yet it is so important for us to practice it. How many times have you said to someone “I’ll be praying for you”? We say it all the time it is almost second nature, but how many times do we follow through with it. That is why it is so important for us to have a purpose with our prayer. Sure, there are times when it is good to just talk to God about whatever is on our

Today we started our new kids Bible class program, Camp David. This is a program designed to resemble a vacation Bible school type atmosphere, with a lesson and a craft or game for each group of kids. We hope and pray that it will encourage our kids to want to be in Bible class and help to grow our kid’s ministry. This year we will be studying the book of Genesis. For the next couple of months, we will study the days of creation. Our goal is to eventually go through the entir

Last Sunday our teens went to the first area wide devotional of the school year. We had a great time of fellowship and worship. When I was in the youth group at Spanish Fort growing up, I loved going to the area wides! I always looked forward to getting to see my friends in the other youth groups. It was awesome to watch our kids, getting to hang out with their friends from camp. I think it is so important for our kids to spend time with other Christian teens. This year’s the

As we have been studying forgiveness this month and looking at Peter’s question of how often I should forgive those who have sinned against me, I have been thinking about another question that was asked of Jesus. Who is my neighbor? In Luke chapter 10, Jesus had been asked which was the greatest commandment. He answered to “Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul and mind” and then offered a second commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself”. Then he was asked

In Hebrews 8:13, the Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”. This verse is often quoted but I wonder if we have ever stopped to think about what this verse really means. Simply put, it means that Jesus never changes. Being that Jesus is a part of the God head, the same could be said for God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Often, we may hear people reference “the God of the Old Testament”. Well, God is the same God today that He was when He spoke t
