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 seek the meekness of humility in obedience to Him as I care for, His little flock; To be God honoring; Saint loving; Reaching out to the lost; While Teaching His Word 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.

PLEASE JOIN US SUNDAYS AT 9:30 A.M. HERE IN VALLEY FARMS, AND BE A PART OF OUR MINISTRY OUTREACH, AS WE BROADCAST THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH OUT THE WORLD, WITH MORE THAN 2,100 WEEKLY VIEWS.

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!

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


     THE OLD COUNTRY CHURCH


    THE FINAL INVITATION:  THE FINAL WARNING


As a pastor, as a minister called by God, I am to trust Him, to believe Him, to teach His Word; the Bible in all Meekness, with Humility, yet, Boldly preach that every Word in the Bible is true; not merely only what I may want to be true; but, that every word is true; and teach it without compromise!
"How can they hear without a Preacher!"

Pastor’s Corner

By: Pastor William Perry- Community Christian Church

WHEN YOU COME TO CHURCH:

What do you expect from the preaching?


  • If you expect to come away with intellectual insights, you will find something to satisfy that desire.
  • If you expect the preacher to say something debatable, you can be sure he will.
  • If you are here to judge the quality of the message, you will surly find something he said wrong, or, that he could have said differently, count on it.
  • If you expect to find a to-do-list for moral improvement, you will find ample opportunity for behavior modification, to try harder and do better.
But of course…
If you expect a life transformation experience, you will discover the spirit exposing sin and fostering greater desire for repentance.

If you expect to hear teaching on how to become more like Jesus, you will be granted fresh eyes of faith to behold The Lord.

If you expect to be used in the service of the Kingdom of God, you will find the Word empowering, enabling you to bear fruit disproportionate to your abilities.

If you expect to meet God on His terms, you will find God will not pass by without glimpses of His glory and grace.

The better question is…
What should you be expecting of yourself, each time you come under the authority and power of Almighty God’s living and active, faith-engendering, sin-exposing, Christ-exalting, Gospel-centered Word? The answer must be your answer!! You may be surprised. What is your answer?

SALVATION:  Not only to Eternity in Heaven, but from Eternity in Hell!  You MUST, first of all:  Admit You Are a Sinner in Need of a Savior:


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 10:13 “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!

    1. I’m sorry to hear about Frankie!
      I was hoping she had more time left. I am glad you got to spend a lot of time with her before she passed and I pray she is accepted with open arms into heaven. Prayers for comfort for her husband as well!
      Adorable new great grandson! So precious! Is that the surprise?
      I hope Eric gets some relief soon. Looks like he’s still dealing with health issues.

      Love you both

    6. Thanks.. it’s warming up. I am coming to the conclusion that my days in the north are coming to an end. This cold is good for something but I couldn’t possibly come up with a top 10 reason to stay in it. Unless one day I wake up and I realize that frozen feet are pretty comfortable. It is definitely more enjoyable with the sun smiling down on you.

      Enjoy your week

    14. Hello PB

      Great teaching - Thank You for your study and sharing it with us. I get excited about the fact that Heaven will not be static - we will be busy learning and growing in Him. We most assuredly know the program of God. What an invitation! Come! Isaiah 55:7. His Grace truly is Amazing.
