In Matthew 3:11, John said, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry, He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ and it was […]

“The Ministry of Sharing the Promises of God in Christ”
A meditation by Lesley Knudsen-DeWitt God’s promises are true, trustworthy, life-giving, and hope-sustaining. Every day we, as a staff, have opportunities to minister God’s promises through words and prayers to encourage our congregation in their walk with Jesus. Let’s continue to ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand what word of promise from God’s […]
“Longsuffering, Patience, Forbearance”
1) THE LONGSUFFERING OF GOD Word-Meaning: The Old Testament uses an expression that means “slow to anger.” Ps. 86:15 “But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.” The New Testament expresses the idea by a word that shows an aspect of the goodness and love of God […]
“A Shepherd’s Heart”
When Jesus chose a metaphor to illustrate His concern and love for people, He identified Himself as the Good Shepherd. John 10:11, 14. Paul tried very hard to pattern his ministry after that of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was not only an evangelist and theologian, but also a devoted shepherd and pastor. […]
“Thoughts by Adrian Rogers”
Adrian Rogers was an amazing pastor-teacher. He had a unique way with words and he had a quick wit. He’s been with the Lord since 2005. I’d like to share a few of his “thoughts” with you. Blessings, Pastor Leonard What we need is not great FAITH, but faith in a great God. Our greatest […]
“Reconciliation”
Over the years, there have been times when I knew things weren’t right between me and someone else. I can’t live like that, so I have gone each time to find out what I did that offended a brother or sister in Christ. The Bible says to “speak the truth in love.” There is nothing […]
“The Witness of the Holy Spirit”
In 1 John 3:1a we read, See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are! The New King James Version puts it like this: Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! In some translations, […]
“Don’t Give Up”
Have you ever felt like quitting, giving up, or throwing in the towel? In Mark 10:46-52 we read about a man who refused to give up. Then they reached Jericho, and as Jesus and his disciples left town, a large crowd followed him. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the […]
“Christmas Greetings”

“The Rapture”
What is the “Rapture?” It is the sudden removal of the church (Believers in Christ) from earth to be with the Lord. Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 wrote, “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then we […]
