Message from the Pastor
2025 Ministry Theme: “Hold on”
Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope
without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.“
Fellowship Lifeline
As a family of God who genuinely loves each other, we talk much about fellowship around here. And it’s a church dynamic that we emphasize on purpose. And yet, I don’t think we value it as much as we should as a whole. We quote Proverb 27:17 that says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” And it is certainly true. I cannot remember all the times and circumstances when a friend of faith lifted my spirits and encouraged me to press on. But I know that I’m still standing and pressing on because of it. Taking a look at Acts 2:42-47, we find that fellowship (Greek–Koinea) is one of the four pillars of the church. We truly are better together, and that’s a gross under exaggeration. We prosper when we’re together. We are fruitful when we’re together. We are encouraged when we’re together. We are stronger when we’re together. We are even smarter, yes much smarter when we’re rubbing elbows together. All of these principles and more are found in God’s counsel. Many a life have been saved and salvaged because of a fellowship connection. Let us enjoy it, value it, seek to expand it and fight every day to keep it.
Happy Father’s Day!
