Pastor's thoughts
11.18.24
“Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Men and brethren, what shall we do?’ Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 2:37-38
"I’ve preached enough to know there are services where there is no conviction. My heart grieves and I wonder, “Lord, is it me? Am I the one that has failed to pray and seek your face?” Have you been in a service when you just couldn’t explain why or how, but the people began to weep or tremble, and you have sensed the Spirit of God moving among you? Don’t just saunter in here and sit down without praying, “Oh, God, send Your convicting power.”
We all need that conviction to move toward repentance. To repent means to change your mind about sin, self, and Jesus.
Maybe you think, “I can’t. I don’t have what it takes to overcome this sin.” You have no confidence in the flesh. So, repentance is also a change of mind about Jesus Christ, about God himself. You’re acknowledging you have no hope in yourself. Instead, you’re saying, “He is my only hope. I put my faith where God has put my sins—upon the Lord Jesus Christ.” And that is a conversion. Repentance and faith are the heads and tails of the same coin. You cannot turn to God without turning from sin." - Adrian Rogers

Haiti Mission Project
Our goal for the current Haiti Mission Project is to raise $60,000 to purchase a parcel of land near the village where Clenel Prevail has been working, drill a well, build a facility, and purchase a truck and other equipment. The plan is to create a place where the people of this village can access clean water, grow food, seek shelter and otherwise become more self-sufficient.
Please note "Buy the Field" on checks or envelopes. Year-to-date received: $3272.89
