Responsibility/Authority of the Pastor

As the Elder/Pastor of this church, as the one called by God to oversee His Church in Valley Farms, it is my responsibility to see that God’s Word is taught without compromise.

God saves people only through the preaching of His Word, therefore... “How can they hear without a preacher?” – Romans 10:14

IS THERE A BIBLICAL PRESCRIPTION TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN? YES! ONE AND ONLY ONE. IT'S FOUND IN 2nd CHRONICLES 7:14; "IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND." 

THE ANSWER IS: TURN BACK TO THE LORD GOD-TO FAITH-FAMILY! 

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

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!

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

THE SOLID FOUNDATION

BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!

As a pastor, as a minister of God, I am required by Him to believe, to teach, to preach that every Word in the Bible is true, not just what I may want to be true; but every word; without compromise!

Pastor’s

Corner

He Is Risen

John 20:1-18

I would like to encourage you to think of the Resurrection morning. I would like for you to just let your minds go and just imagine that it is not quite daylight yet, and maybe even a light mist hanging over the country side just outside of Jerusalem, and now we get a glimpse of three women full of sorrow, and pain.  These three ladies are; Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and another woman by the name of Salome.  As they start for the tomb they are being followed by other women with their arms loaded with spices and cloths.  They walk in sadness, you can see they are on a mission.  They are heading to the tomb where Jesus had been buried that previous Friday, just before the Sabbath.  Now they are wanting to prepare His body more completely for burial, as the custom was in that day.  So, they come to the tomb, and, what is this!  They find the tomb empty.  They stare in disbelief, as they find that the stone that had covered the entrance way has been rolled away from the mouth of the tomb.  The tomb was open. It’s about here that Mary Magdalene takes off in hast, to tell the disciples.  Meanwhile, Mary the mother of James continues on toward the tomb, and as she gets close to the tomb she sees the angel of the Lord.  When Mary returns to tell the disciples what she saw, she finds the disciples, who, had been disappointed, and hurt. They were tired and felt betrayed.  We should not be surprised by this, because we know that in every death there is a loss, and with loss, always brings with it pain.  We should know that the pain caused by any death is in fact the price we pay for loving someone.  We have all lost loved ones.  We know what that loss feels like; we know.  In this world, death comes to the ones we love and others we know.  Death comes to each one of us.  Death is very ugly, and it can be dreadfully painful; it hurts.  Now, it’s about here that we need a little good news, and I just happen to have some.  It’s wonderful news!  The news is, the death of Jesus was interrupted by a resurrection.  That is GOOD NEWS!  Jesus came back on that third day and He presented Himself alive to the disciples.  So they, and we also, would know for a fact that He had abolished death.  Romans 6:9 says, “For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over Him.”  “He is not here, He is risen!!”  He is ALIVE!  Jesus abolished death by winning the victory over it, not just for Him, but for us also.  Jesus abolished death, and made death thoroughly inactive.  What does this mean for us today that Jesus abolished death?  It means “because He lives, we who know Him as Lord and Savior will live also. It means death no longer has a hold over us, and praise God, He is risen!  He’s Alive!! Because He lives, we shall live!! AMEN’

We pray that He will meet your every need.

PRAY THAT: All who know Jesus as Lord and Savior would start to live as if they do, and  will be willing to pay the one debt we owe for our Salvation; that is the debt of LOVE (Romans 13:8)!

•James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles on one (point), he has become guilty of all.”

•Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

•Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Accept God’s Love through the/Sacrifice in His Son Jesus

•Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Turn to God in Repentance

•Acts 20:21 “I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.”

Trust the Fullness Jesus Christ!

•Romans 10:9 “…if you confess with your mouth Jesus as  Lord,  and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;”

•Romans 10:17 “So then Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”

•Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me (God) and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.”

It may not be easy to give up your old sinful ways, and turn in faith to Jesus Christ; but it is the only way to  SALVATION,  AND IT IS WORTH IT! 

 CALL UPON (THE FULLNESS OF) THE NAME OF JESUS AND YOU WILL BE SAVED!

Dr. William Perry is a prolific writer of outstanding books. His titles for Newburgh Press thus far are Christians Helping Christians, Christian Counseling for the 21st Century and Theology for the 21st Century. Each book is a must for every reader of solid Christian material.

I am happy to endorse Dr. Perry’s latest treasure, “A Journey Through The Gospels.” Every student and preacher/teacher of the Bible needs this book for the desk or the bedside table. You will enjoy reading insights and valuable lessons that many casual readers of the Bible will miss.

While this book is not lengthy you will find a delightful study of each gospel that will make you appreciate the wonderful gospel stories and love Jesus even more.

To God be the glory!
