The Saturday service is contemporary, with Gregory Black leading in worship and guitar accompaniment from 9:30-10:45 a.m.

Friday prayer meetings are from 6-7 p.m. The weekly Bible study led by Jack Frost is on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-10:30. They are open to all interested.

The Message

“But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts” (1 Thessalonians 2:4).

Approved by God, who entrusted him with the gospel message, the apostle Paul went about doing just that. He spoke the truths that had been revealed to him by none other than Jesus himself. He spoke these truths in a manner that was pleasing to God and was not concerned with what man thought. This caused many to disapprove of the apostle.

So, what do modern-day believers in Christ learn from the life and character of the apostle Paul? Humes will let members ask that question for themselves, and encourages them to live a life such as the apostle Paul did: one that is pleasing to God.

Scripture of the Week

“In the region, there were some shepherds staying in the fields… And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around. Then the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all people; today there has been born for you a savior, who is Christ the Lord’” (Luke 2:8-11).
