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.

Responsibility of the Senior Pastor

As the Senior Pastor of this church, called by God to oversee His Church in Valley Farms, it is my responsibility from God to care for the flock; to see that His Church is always God honoring; That His Word is taught without compromise.

A POWERFUL TRUTH:
The Word of God is alive and Powerful! When truly heard, this Word will awaken the spiritually dead.  His Word, when accepted as truth; will save men from their sin, therefore... “How can they hear without a preacher?” – Romans 10: 13-15.

Should you have any questions, feel free to talk with me.

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! 


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!

Romans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 10:14 “How then shall they call on Him Who they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without a preacher?

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!

    Pastor’s Corner

    Written by: Dr. Doug W. Beeks- Blue-line ministries
    Edited by: Pastor William Perry- Community Christian Church

    Difficult Decisions

    Many times, in life we are faced with difficult decisions. Frequently these decisions can be both emotional and painful. In times like this we can find ourselves seeking both wisdom and guidance; sometimes unsure where to turn.  When we find ourselves in such a difficult situation, there is good news; as believers in Jesus Christ we are never alone. As Christians we need only to reach out to God, through the Lord Jesus, to find direction from His Word, the Bible.

    Our gracious and loving God freely offers the gift of wisdom to all of us, through His Word, also, as we seek wisdom through prayer, having trust in His word. Looking to James 1:5 “Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly and it will be given to him.”

    God freely offers each of us wisdom, for the asking; what a wonderful provision! Knowing the Holy Bible is truth, we can take Him at His Word; asking through prayer we can trust we will be given wisdom.

    Ultimately it comes down to having full trust in Jesus as Lord, and that His Word is True. Although we may not fully understand God’s decision and direction, and truly, it may be different from our expectation, yet, we must trust completely in Him, as He sees the end from the beginning. Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

    Just as important as seeking wisdom and guidance from God, is patience. Sometimes it can seem He’s not listening, or answering our prayers, but we can be sure, God is working behind the scenes for you, and the time mat not be right for Him to reveal His answer. Psalm 37:7 - “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.”

    As we seek to attain Wisdom from the Lord God, we may also reach out for advice and direction from trusted people during the struggle. However, in doing so, we must be cautious to seek advice and direction from those that are not only both wise and trusted, but also from Godly people that walk with the Lord Jesus.  If you go about asking anyone and everyone for advice, you will likely get a lot of advice on anything and everything. In the Bible, in Proverbs 13:20 we are told, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Listen when you receive advice from a wise and trusted source. Proverbs 19:20 “Listen to advice and accept instruction, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.”

    The only solution to making difficult decisions in life, is to seek God who offers Wisdom, Guidance, and Comfort during those difficult times. Making those decisions can be difficult, and even more so, if we take our eyes off the Lord, and His Wisdom. One of the first questions we should ask is; "Lord, what are you trying to teach me?" Many times, during the learning process, life can be filled with hurt and emotion, This can be a time to grow in our faith; growing closer and acknowledging the Lord in all your ways as He directs your path. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.”
