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.

Praise for:  Dal and Carrie are preparing for the Fall in Minnesota with some visits from their sons.

Pray for: Our Missionaries, as they labor for the Lord.

Pray that: It would be understood, that alone, as an individual, you are not the Church, not Until We, as Believers Gather Together in His Name, as a Congregation, do we become a Church; the Bride of Christ! COME TO CHURCH! Hebrews 10: 24-25.

PRAY: THAT FEAR WOULD SUBSIDE IN EQUAL PROPORTION TO OUR TRUST IN GOD. TO FEAR NOT!  FEAR ONLY THE LORD GOD; THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO FEAR. TRUSTING IN HIM! 

PRAISE FOR ANSWERED PRAYER: Concerning COVID-19 and the governments illegal control on Church Activities has lessened in our country, that was never an issue in Arizona.

PRAY: that we, as Christians, will learn through this virus situation to trust the LORD. Pray for our nation during this Corona-virus.  (Proverbs 3:5-6)

PRAY FOR: Todd (health and personal matters). Praise the Lord for Todd getting connected with Mayo! 

PRAY FOR: The many that are unsaved, in and around Valley Farms. Rebuke, and hold back the ungodly cult of Mormonism. These people who have turned their backs on the true Jesus, and there-fore are by no means saved, but are on their way to an Eternity in HELL!

PRAY FOR: Salvation for OUR PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT.

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

PRAY FOR ALL CONCERNED: As Pastor Bill teaches God's Word (1 Timothy 2:2). As he teaches the Truth of God's word and rebukes all false gospel. Pray that many would respond to the Truth of God's Word in love and truth.

************************
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!

Now Available through Amazon.com.

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. WOW! What a message, and with what conviction, WOW! What it requires to be saved. I feel sort of like Nicodemus, "how can this be?" I'm not saying no way, but I have to really go over this. It sounds like it could be on point, but I've heard different for a while now. You really seem to have passion for this. Love your teaching and will really be looking seriously. I've always been suspicious about this easy believism. Blessing to all.

    I didn't get finished: I kind of have always been suspicious of the easy salvation doctrine- I really do want to check into this. Love your teaching, and this is good.

  4. Valerie and I appreciate the prayers for us. We also prayed for those you mentioned in the service.

    Valerie is still in lots of pain, even with the medication prescriptions. She has had a rough day. She has persistent pain even with the prescriptions she has been given.

    Because of the pain she has in her foot she got good at hiding. But this she can’t. I’ve never seen her like this before, not even with covid. This is why I’m so grateful for your prayers. She said she will just wait for the Doctors appointment on the 17th with the Neurologist. It’s not a good option but it’s all we have. Her surgery is still set for the 21st.

    What we got out of the sermon:
    John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth, Your Word is Truth.”
    There is cleansing in the Word.
    Water is symbolic of the Word of God.
    Being born again is a must, and that only occurs through the Word of God by reading the Bible, regularly attending church, and hearing the preaching of the Word. From these one is Born again of the Holy Spirit.

    I'm moved back to the village, that little snow brought me in. I know how fast it can change, and Wham-Bam! and your snowed in the bush. I've got to go over this sermon again, and maybe more times. It seems you are saying a lot here. I do like what I heard, it really sounds right to me, "The Word of God, By the Spirit of God, told by the man of God", Got it, I think. Blessings Pastor
