The Glory of the Cross [Worship Music]

Flock Food [Monday Messages]

Here's a copy of the message that I recommended called "Flock Food" from my good friend and pastor, Mike Greiner.

Enjoy! And don't forget to begin at the beginning... start working on memorizing Psalm 119:11!

For His Glory, and Our Joy,

The APTAT Card

As mentioned in today's sermon, here is the APTAT card, a way I have found very helpful in my own fight for joy in the Father, joy in my salvation, and joy amidst the struggles of life.

The original messages where I found APTAT are here and here.

Fighter Verse for February 14th, 2010: Psalm 119:11

Psalm 119:11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Service / Superbowl Cancellation for 02-07-10

All services, including our much anticipated Superbowl / Chili Cook Off are canceled. Please stay home, stay safe, stay warm, and take the opportunity to listen to a sermon I've selected which will be relevant to our study in the Gospel of John.

Enjoy your family, Trust in Him. He is gracious, merciful and righteous!

Winter Weather, Just In Case!

Brothers and Sisters in Christ -

After the recent snowfall and winter weather, I think it's wise to clarify our policy in terms of winter weather.

In general, it will not be our policy to cancel our main service at 10:30. We have a contract with a snow removal company who will clear and salt the parking lot in time for service, so the church will be accessible.

Sunday school, which depends on a greater number of volunteers to function, may be canceled, since our volunteers may be unable to make it. The decision to cancel sunday school (or the main service, in the case of truly horrific weather conditions) will be made by 7:00 AM on sunday morning. In the recent snowfall, the advance speculation served little or no purpose, and the day and main roads to church were actually quite nice.

Cancellations or Revisions to the schedule will be communicated via WOLC 102.5 fm, WBOC ch 16, and WMDT ch 47. We'll also post a notice right here on the website. If you are unable to watch the listed stations, please contact an Elder or Pastor Keith.

Use caution when making a decision to travel in snow. I live on major roads, and so the weather will have to be horrible to prevent me from attending, but if conditions keep you from traveling, then please take caution and stay home.

Thanks for taking the time to read this... looking forward to worshiping with you this coming Sunday!

In Him,
Pastor Keith

A Warning to All Teachers - Fact Check! [Errata]

I made another mistake... I'm sure it won't be my last!

As I was preparing my message on John 9, I specifically intended to avoid mentioning the hymn line "was blind but now I see." Of course, I was in the thick of the message and the gravity of the idea drew me right in...

So, I quoted the hymn 'Amazing Grace', told the story of the famous hymn writer Isaac Watts, who wrote 700 hymns, and just celebrated his 335 birthday. I told about how he'd been the captain of a slave ship... and so on... but there's only one problem: John Newton wrote that hymn.

So here's the lesson: Check your facts, avoid convenient illustrations (especially if you intend to avoid them in the first place), and if you are going to read 'tweets', make sure you really read them (I figured out where I went awry!), so you won't say Isaac Watts turned 700 and attribute the wrong hymns to him.

Thanks for those who encourage me to study by pointing out my obvious errors. You help me in ways you cannot imagine!
