Sacrifice Sunday

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:45:19 +0000

Dear Church Family,

What a beautiful to sight to look out at the landscape transformed by the white snow. As I look out the window preparing for tomorrow I can’t stop thinking about the sacrifice that Jesus made for me to make my sin as white as snow. I pray that you will begin thinking these thoughts today and prepare your heart for tomorrow’s service. We have a very special service planned tomorrow. Our singing will be focused on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. Maria Barta, one of our newest members, will be singing one of my favorite songs tomorrow, The Look (the lyrics for this song can be found at the bottom of this post). We will conclude the service with our Sacrifice Sunday Offering. In this offering you will be asked to place your financial, as well as time, sacrifice to Christ. It will be a wonderful time of focus on the work of our precious Savior.

I understand that the snow has made it difficult for many to get out; however, I believe that tomorrow’s service is extremely important for our church. We have a quick fellowship after the service tomorrow followed by a presentation of the plans for our new auditorium. If our church is going to move forward on this building project I believe it is vital for us all to be on the same page. We are planing the future of our church tomorrow. We spent the entire month of January building up to this service. I believe this is a critical time for our church body. We have the opportunity to gather together and focus on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. I pray that you will be here tomorrow to worship together with the body of Christ.

In Christ,

Pastor Josh

The Look

I saw one hanging on a tree in agony and blood

Who fixed His loving eyes on me as near His cross I stood

And never till my dying breath will I forget that look

It seemed to charge me with His death though not a word He spoke

My conscience felt and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair

I saw my sins His blood had spilt and helped to nail Him there

But with a second look He said “I freely all forgive

this blood is for your ransom paid; I died that you might live”

Thus while His death my sin displays for all the world to view

Such is the mystery of grace; it seals my pardon too

With pleasing grief and mournful joy my spirit now is filled

That I should such a life destroy yet live by Him I killed

CHORUS

Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died

The Lamb I crucified and now my life will sing the praise

Of pure atoning grace that looked on me and gladly

took my place

Information

“In the late 1800’s there was a great evangelist named Gipsy Smith. He had traveled the world twice, preaching in every Continent, in many countries. Wherever he preached, revival broke out. One day a delegation of people from a certain community came to Gipsy and said, “We so desperately want to see revival in our area. It’s so dry and dead. What can we do to see revival?” Gipsy said, “I’ll tell you exactly how it will come about. You go home. Lock yourself in your bedroom. Take a piece of chalk. Put a circle on the floor of your bedroom. Kneel in that circle and pray fervently and brokenly that God will start revival in that circle.”

That’s where it starts. Not so much praying for others; it is getting on your face and praying, “Let it start with me!” How quick we are to say, “If he would just change, or if she would just change.” Draw a circle and pray – “Lord, change me!”

Our evangelistic meetings begin in just over a week. On Sunday we will be on our normal service schedule outlined above. Throughout the week the meetings start every evening at 7:00. I am looking forward to seeing each of you here for the meetings. I know God has great things He wants to do in your life through His Word that will be clearly proclaimed this next week. I encourage each of you to bring visitors to the meetings this next week. I am expecting God to do some great things in your life.

I’m praying for each of you.

In Christ,

Pastor Josh

Morning Service Canceled

admin — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:21:05 +0000

I hate canceling a Sunday service but I got up early this morning and drove around and the roads pretty bad. I encourage you to spend time together as a family focusing on God’s Word. If you don’t know where to start I would suggest Luke 14:25-35. This is what we will look at next Sunday morning.

I miss you all this morning. We will keep you posted about what we do for the evening service.

Prayer Request

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:18:21 +0000

Dear Church Family,

This morning Helen Nick went to be with the Lord. Her stopped due to hypertension as they were admitting her to the hospital. God was merciful and she passed quickly. When a person that is saved dies I always remember 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [dead], that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”

Pray for the family as they make grieve and make the necessary plans. I will keep you updated as I learn more information about the funeral and burial plans.

Pastor Josh
