Bro.

Shattered Dreams - Family Life Today

Leon McEntire — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:48:50 +0000

This is a Family Life Today podcast from Jan. 12, 2010 that glorifies God in showing us that putting things before Him in our personal lives or our relationships always causes destruction. “How can something that seemed so right at first go downhill so fast? That’s what Clint Bragg was wondering when his marriage to Penny ended after less than two years. Tempted by an affair, Penny thought it best to leave Clint and her old life behind, but could she leave her faith? The reconciliation of Clint and Penny Bragg’s marriage 11 years after their divorce and a 3,000-mile separation seemed next to impossible to those who knew them. But God loves the impossible. Hear Clint and Penny talk about God’s miraculous intervention in their life and marriage.”

Shattered Dreams

Sunday Nights in January (Sermon Preview)

Anthony Langley — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:26:15 +0000

During our Sunday evening worship services in the month of January, we will be exploring the message of the prophet Haggai. He prophesied in a time when the people of Israel had returned from exile to reestablish themselves as a nation under God. They had been allowed to return to their homeland to rebuild their city, but they also had been sent back by God to reestablish their identity as God’s holy people. The problem is that they became distracted by minding their own business when they should have been minding God’s. They were focused on all the wrong things while God’s Temple was laying in ruins. We do the same thing in our lives today. We ignore God’s will for our lives and mind our own business. In the book, Haggai stirs the people to action and duty through harsh yet encouraging words. This message is just as important for us today as it was for the people of Israel. We will explore the book of Haggai in four sermons. Don’t miss it!

As the New Year begins, it is always a great time to take a close look at our spiritual lives as we seek to go deeper in our walk with the Lord in the next year. 2010 can be the best year of your spiritual walk if you will only decided right now to deal with the weak areas of your growth. This Sunday morning and evening, I will be bringing messages that deal with the issue of self examination. We need to look at every area of our lives, but we must look at several key areas if we really want to make progress. Join us this Sunday as we examine five key areas of our lives and begin with a clean slate of growth together in 2010. See you Sunday!

Home for Christmas!

Anthony Langley — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 05:31:45 +0000

What a wonderful time of year. Christmas is the time for giving, the time for eating, and the time for visiting with family and friends. Perhaps, if you are like me, you don’t have many opportunities to spend with your family because you live far away. This also provides an even greater challenge to seeing extended family. I am visiting my family on the coast and will have the opportunity to spend New Year’s with family in east Tennessee. Cherish every moment you have with your families over the Christmas season. Spend time with them. Give of yourselves to them. Enjoy their company and their cooking, but most of all, remind them why we celebrate. If your family members already know Jesus and have received the ultimate gift of salvation, rejoice together at the Savior’s birth. If your family members do not know Christ, tell them about the greatest story ever told. Tell them the good news of salvation. If you live near your family remember not to take your family for granted. You may have them all the time, but your family was given to you by God!

Say a special prayer this Christmas for all your friends and family that are lost. Especially remember those who have lost close loved ones. This time of year can be difficult. Do everything you can to make this Christmas special for those you come in contact with. Thanks again to my church family for all you have done o make our first Christmas with you special. We hope that we can return the love in action, service and giving of ourselves. Merry Christmas!
