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…

Good afternoon friends!  I apologize for not having posts for several weeks.  I just returned to the office after battling the flu.  My prayers are with everyone who has been hit with the flu.  If you know of someone who is ill, make a pot of chicken soup and place it on their doorstep.  Make sure you let them know you the soup is on their doorstep!! 1/18-20-  Reality Student Ministry Winter Jam & Winter Retreat.  They will be departing…

The Distracted Church

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

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…
