Work and Witness Team Returns!!!
The Work and Witness team arrived home safely around midnight Tuesday night. We had a great trip, accomplishing our goal of completing the church at Machaca. It was an awesome service dedicating the church on Sunday, along with about 12 people making decisions for Christ. We also had a chance to worship at the Mountainview Church and renew some friendships with the people we met there last year helping to build their church. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers as we…

A Great Man Named Polycarp
On Sunday we will continue our study of the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation. The Church for this week is Smyrna, and it was a place of some pretty intensive persecution. Christians who would not deny Christ were Beaten, Burned to death, Fed to the Lions and other kinds of torture. Come and hear the story of Polycarp – and more important, be challenged by the letter to the Church at Sardis to be faithful to Christ no…

The Distracted Church
Sunday will be the third Sunday in our series from the Book of Revelation. For each of the next seven Sundays, we will be reading about one of the Seven Churches to which God sent a message to the Churches through the Angel and John. The First Church we will study is the Church at Ephesus. This is a church that had many things going for it yet had lost out on the most important things and were being called…
A Great Vision
The Book of Revelation is a great and amazing Vision that God sent to John while he was banished to the island of Patmos. Its message was written specifically to the seven churces which were located inland from the Island of Patmos where John was being held as a Roman prisoner. On Sunday, we are going to enter into this great Prophetic Vision to see what God said to the Churches in the 1st Century and even more importantly, look…
Heavenly Additions
I am sitting at my desk this morning and thinking about three very special people who have passed into heaven in the past two weeks: Paul Roush, Marietta Raker, and Rosie Roush. Each one of them loved the Lord deeply and had a great faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. They are so precious to many of us and even more so to the God who has prepared a place for them in heaven. “Eye hath not seen, nor ear…
