Men Prepare Sermons; God Prepares Men

2nd Timothy 2:15

"The proper place for a ship to be is in the water, but if the water gets into the ship, the ship will sink. The proper place for the church is in the world,

BUT IF THE 'WORLD' GETS INTO THE CHURCH,

THE CHURCH WILL GO DOWN IN DISGRACE!"

Thank you for taking the time to view our blog;we look forward to reading your comments. DVDs of our services are available upon request. We covet your prayers and friendship. In His Service and For His Glory, Pastor Bill & Kathy ...
"Now fear the Lord and serve Him with all faithfulness...But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."-Joshua 24:14-15

Is God Calling You to be a Pastor?

The right kind of education is essential to the man who has answered God's call. No army dare send a soldier into battle without proper training. The results would be devastating, not only for the warrior, but for the war.

NOTE:  Hearing from you every two or three weeks, would let us know you want to continue receiving our newsletter.

**********************************************************************

COMMENT FROM AN INTERNET CONTRIBUTOR: "HEY PASTOR BILL, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE AN AGENDA WHEN YOU PREACH!"  

YOU BET I DO!  (BUT ONLY ONE!) To teach the Truth! To teach that all roads do not lead to Heaven. Only the narrow road, that leads to repentance! Through Obedience to following Jesus Christ as Lord. All other roads lead to hell and destruction (John 8:32).

WHY REACH OUT AND MINISTER TO MEN?

  • When a child is reached for Christ, 3.5% of the family will follow.
  • When a mother is reached for Christ, 17% of her family will follow.
  • When a father is reached for Christ, 93% of his family will follow.  (Per the Heritage Foundation)
  • THE LORD S CALLING FAITHFUL MEN TO LEAD THEIR FAMILIES!

PRAISE HIS MAJESTY--THE LORD JESUS


A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART


*****************************************************
PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS

PRAY: The Church would give up on the pressure from the world for spiritual correctness, (not confronting the make-believer who claims to be believers), yet continue in their disobedience, of living like HELL! 1 John 2:19. Pray that the church would be strong, yet compassionate in their confrontation.

Praise: That our church steeple has arrived!! THANK YOU LORD!

Praise: For Kathy, her infection is gone. she has had the stitches removed, and it looks like the surgery is going to hold.

Pray: For all who are attending the Community Christian Church, as well as all who have ever attended- The Lord Jesus knows who you are, and He knows your needs. We pray that He will meet all your needs. If your need is Salvation, and you have not yet accepted the Lord's invitation to join His family by being born again into the Family of God, I pray that today will be the day you make that decision..

Pray for my friend, Pastor John W. that he would be encouraged in every way to continue to  PREACH THE WORD!

Pray/Praise for:  12 year old Hope. She has been upgraded, and has moved into a rehab center, We serve a Great God.

Praise: The results of the polyp has come in (at last) for Pastor Bill's and the results are negative. 
.
Pray: that all who know Jesus as Lord and Savior would start to pay the one debt we owe for our Salvation; the debt of LOVE (Romans 13:8)!

Continue to pray for Michele who has started her radiation.

Pray for: Carol and her sister Gail, who is very ill with cancer.  Pray that Carol and her sister Gail,  would accept Jesus as Savior.

Pray for: Carol's grandson, and her family.

Praise the Lord: As Todd continues to grow in the Lord

Pray that all men who are called into the pastorate would know the need to study to gain an advanced Training for a deeper and broader  understanding of the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15)

Pray for: Pastor Bill as he teaches God's Word (1 Timothy 2:2). Also that the congregation would continue to love and encourage one another ( John 13:34).

  2. Hi Pastor Bill and Kathy,
    Just wanted to say hi and thinking of you. Thank you for sending us good messages and reminding us the goodness of God. Beth had graduated college recently and will start working at the clinic in Silver Bay. Our lives should settle with our schedule more easily. We wish you the best.

    In God's love.

    Keep praying for Hope. They had a victory this week when she was able to open her hands. {We take so much for granted, don't we?} Still a long road ahead and needs lots of prayer!!

  7. Very good message- we always are blessed by your teaching. Sometimes it's hard to hold off until Sunday and gather to watch, but will try- Thanks. Oh ya, will you be posting a picture of the erected steeple? Looking forward

  8. Hello PB & K
    It seems as if the weeks are flying by and I am not keeping up as I would like to. I do believe in His fullness and I am so thankful for it! When I realized I was lost I became a candidate for salvation - I am so thankful God came to seek and save the lost! I believe David was recorded flaws and all that we may learn of the depth of God's love as well. Isaiah 55:7. Romans 4:8 - 2 Corinthians 5:19 tie up the hope that is before us if we will come to The Lord on His Terms. It is so Good to hear of the Hope in Jesus - thank You for the Good Word PB.
