Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified with 2 criminals; one on His right hand and one on the left.  It is also the place where Jesus demonstrated His greatest compassion on those who murdered Him, when He said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."  Leave your old life of sin at Calvary with Jesus and don't look back.  Put on a new life with Jesus, who forgives repented sins.

Father, we thank You for the love and mercy You have shown us by sacrificing Your beloved Son, Jesus the Christ, on that cross at Calvary.  We know that without His death there would be no forgiveness for sin and no hope for eternal life with You.  Help us Lord, to never forget. In Jesus Name we pray, AMEN

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

How beautiful heaven must be, for God the Father is in heaven, and Jesus, the son of man ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the throne of God.  In heaven there is no sorrow, no grief, no mourning nor crying, no death, no sadness, only peace and joy and happiness.  Heaven is in my heart.

In conclusion; do you want to go to heaven when life on earth is over?  There is only one way and that is through Jesus, the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.

Good Morning Friends,

Wishing all a Merry Christmas, and a blessed day. 

While there is NO proof, biblical nor scientific that God's beloved Son, the author of eternal salvation to those who obey Him, the author and finisher of our faith, was born on this day.  We are joyful, and thankful for His birth.  For without Bethlehem, there would have been no cross on Calvary.  No death, no burial, no resurrection, no hope for eternal life.  So let us not forget to be joyful, and thankful every day for His birth.

And even though there is no command to remember His birth, never forget that He has commanded us to remember His death, burial and resurrection, the price He paid for our sins and the hope we have for eternal life. 

So to all, especially the beloved saints of God, may His grace and peace be with us, may His peace rule in our hearts today, as we gather with friends and family.   And do not forget to gather with our church family on the first day of every  week to remember the ultimate price He paid for our sins. His death, burial, and resurrection, without which there would be no forgiveness of sins, nor hope of eternal life.
