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.

PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS


NEW Pray for Gregory Martinez:  George's brother, Greg is in hospice care now.  Pray for peace and comfort. 

NEW: Pray for Pastor Bill and Kathy: As their son Eric is now in Heaven with God, pray as they grieve their great loss. Eric's obituary is posted at https://www.jwarrenfuneral.com/obituaries/Eric-Perry?obId=26657853#/obituaryInfo Click here.


NEW Praise and Prayer for George and Valerie: They are getting better.  Praise the Lord. Please continue to pray.

Praise for:  Dal and Carrie who had a nice visit with family during the Thanksgiving holidays. 

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! 

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 gospels. 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:

* Mark 1:15 "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

•James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in 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 “solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Trust the Fullness Jesus Christ!
•Romans 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;"

•Romans 10:13 “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

•Romans 10:14 “How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"

•Romans 10:17 “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."

•Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek Me (God) and find Me when you search for 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. So glad Jim and Jodie got home safely!

    We have had a great day. Church was wonderful as always. Our sermon was on Luke 1:26-38 about the Miracles of the Virgin Birth. It was nice to have the whole family together. Sounds like you had a really great message today as well.

    After church we had a lot of errands to run. Kiley and I wrapped up our shopping and wrapped some presents. Then we made cookie dough for Eskimo cookies and sugar cut out cookies and put it in the fridge for later. We also have red beans and rice cooking!

    Love you,
    Jenny

  2. Hi Pastor Bill and Kathy,

    Valerie’s pain is not getting better yet. She had tough days since Tuesday, except for one. We are still impatiently waiting to be able to take her new prescription on January 9th. But… what we thought was settled with shots is not. After reading through what the insurance company said, it got confusing. So I guess we have to wait and see.

    I apologize we were unable to make it to church today. We wanted to, but Valerie is still not well.

    We hope you and the family are doing okay. We are praying your family receives peace.

    I did view the Obituary for Eric online. Eric is still greatly loved. Valerie and I will add our memories soon.

    George and Valerie

    As a fellow sailor, I am saddened by the loss of a ship-mate. Knowing he is in the Hands of Jesus, knowing he is safe with the Lord. We are reaching out to you, his parents, may the healing comfort of Jesus always be with you.
