From Your Pastor's Heart

From Your Pastor’s Heart ...Praise the Lord: We can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel! No, I’m not referring to the light that many testify seeing just before leaving this world and entering heaven. And no, I’m not warning you about an oncoming train. The light that I’m looking forward to is the end of this summer’s relentless heat and...the beginning of football season!!!

From Your Pastor’s Heart ...What an incredible Sunday God blessed us with just a few days ago. Twelve of our Youth and four adults were in Virginia “on mission” finishing up our VBS ministry and helping lead Motley Baptist Church in worship. Back home many of us were “on vacation”, but a few of us were in church and I shared a little bit about our Motley VBS mission (at least until Gloria and I left Thursday afternoon to return to Jax).

From Your Pastor’s Heart ...If this were a sermon with three main points, I might entitled it:Music --- Missions (and) --- Many Thanks! First, please make every effort to be present and bring a friend with you this Sunday during our worship service to enjoy our Music Ministries teams’ “July 4th Celebration.” You will truly be blessed, your friends will be grateful and your Music Ministries teams will be encouraged by your faithful support. It really is going to be super good!

From Your Pastor's Heart

From Your Pastor's Heart ...Thursday evening our Church Staff participated in a Staff Meeting that particularly blessed me. We reviewed some of the ministry activities that God is guiding us to lead you in this summer, de-conflicted our calendars and encouraged each other. Below is my follow up note that I am sending to each of them. I have never shared such a note with you before, but I believe that God wants me to do so this time. It seems that I have finally learned over the past 30 plus years of pastoring that it is always better if I honor that sense of God's will. So, please read and let me know how the Lord speaks to your heart.
