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


Praise for: Our friend, Harry Kikuyuma, who lives on Maui, HI and his family.  He and his family are safe and well.  The fire is very critical there and many have died.  Pray also for all the folks on the island of Maui

Pray for: The Lord's will to be done concerning the leadership for the future of the Community Christian Church.

Pray for: Lori King who will continue radiation treatments this week to make sure that the tumor that was in her brain is all gone. She will have treatments 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Pray for her husband Doug and her children Miles and Violet and parents Dal and Carrie King as she goes through these treatments.

Pray for:  Pastor Bill and Kathy for our health and the Lord's will as we seek His continuous leading for our life.

Pray for:  For our nation that once more we would truly be "One Nation, indivisible, under God with liberty and justice for all."  But God cannot bless sin.  We must understand that.

Pray for:  Our Churches, the Kingdom of God, that all who claim the name of Christ return to the Church.  Apart from God, politicians will never get this country back on track.  Repentance is necessary.

Pray for:  Todd, as he continues to visit Mayo Clinic regarding his health.

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.

Praise for: The fear has subsided in our land; in our nation, state and city, as our trust once again is turned to the God of all creation.  FEAR NOT!  For I am with you says the Lord God! 

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!

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.
To God be the glory!

  1. A tour guide? I've never thought of myself as a tour guide, but I guess that is what I am as a rancher, I love the ranch life, so, yes, I do present it in a good light. I really believe we also have a Church family mind set, as no one has to be overly reminded that it is Sunday, the day of church and a day off (if possible) from our everyday labor. Excellent teaching Pastor.

    Well, the preaching to my friends would be a stretch for me for sure, but my friends and me do like to watch your preaching together, so I guess you are right. I did invite them, and we got this large group together, all 6-7 of us at times. Really, a, by golly good message is what was said. We thank you.

  4. Another good one! I guess what my wife is doing back home is sort of a tour guide. Our pastor is a true tour guide, so, as you say, maybe I can help my wife out it the tour guide department. I am really starting to see the beauty of the church; thank you for the reminder!!

    Pastor, Don't misunderstand me, but are you healthy? You look like you have lost a lot of weight, are you healthy? I know we are all growing older, but both you and your wife look thinner. Maybe you are just trying to stay healthy. I'm praying for you both. A very good message, I believe on of your best, and we have heard some mighty good messages from you. Blessings to you all.

  6. A really good message- I had a missionary family with me as we watched, and they thought you were a really good teacher. Keep it up until the Lord comes.

    Well, another season, I kid you not, it is getting cool up in the high country. Very good message. We watched as a family, with a few friends. Some felt they were inspired to invite others over to see the next one, or even to re-visit this one.

    I am so happy that from your teaching, you encouraged us to find a church, and now we are happy. My husband has been asked to consider being on the deacon board. Very good message Pastor Bill. We are praying for you all, and that you will be able to continue to send us your weekly sermon.
