TRANSFORMING LIVES WITH THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD

(Scroll Down for the Latest News)

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.

FYI

SALVATION: Not only to Eternity in Heaven, but from Eternity in Hell! You MUST, first of all: Humble yourself and 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 appeals to God through the Name of the Lord Jesus, the Son, 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 (being) 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.

  1. Merry Christmas to ALL!! Very good messages. I don't believe I ever thought of what Mary must have went through, by being obedient to God.

    Yes, I did like the Christmas songs, and the Scripture reading- You can't go wrong with that combination. Sunday's message was right back down, where we live. Yes! What did Mary have to go through, in order to be obedient to God.

  5. Continue sending them out. You are changing lives. This was my husband first Christmas to come to church with us. We went for Christmas Eve, Sunday Morning and evening service. It was wonderful to have him with us. Thank you Lord, and thank you Pastor Bill.

  7. Hello PB

    To have favor with God ... what a gift from the greatest gift Himself!
    It would be asking much of Mary to carry the weight of an unwed
    young woman ... do you think the small town gossip made it as far as
    Bethlehem also? Could that have had anything to do with 'no room in the
    inn'?

    So many today will not stand up to any ridicule thinking that is just
    too much to endure ... imagine that. I am so thankful the shepherds
    went and worshiped our Lord and were the first to tell who so ever will
    that The King of kings had come.

    Jesus use me .... to tell the old old story .... thank you for sharing PB

    Happy Birthday Jesus!

  14. Pastor Bill, So glad I was able to view Sunday's Sermon since I couldn't be in church. You made a key point in that only churches that teach salvation through Jesus Christ are true churches. I think some of the most insidious and damaging religions are those that falsely claim a connection to Jesus and regularly lie about Him. Thank you for always teaching directly and clearly from God's one, true, living Word-the Holy Bible! And thanks so much for the prayer for me...it worked, of course. God is faithful!
