Many of you know that Pastor Shawn has been fighting an oral cancer diagnosis since the first of summer vacation. He has taken 2 rounds of immunotherapy. September 4th he will undergo a major surgery at MD Anderson, (fibula flap replacement) and we are trusting God to guide every doctor, nurse, and decision along the way.

I’m asking our family, friends, and church family to please continue to keep Shawn in your prayers. Please add him to all of your prayer lists and prayer chains. I know we serve a God who can heal and answer prayers. Pray for a successful surgery, complete healing, strength for his recovery, wisdom for his medical team, and peace for both of us during this journey.

We are so thankful for the love, encouragement, and prayers that surround us. We know God is faithful, and we are trusting Him every step of the way.

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God…” — Isaiah 41:10

Thank you for praying for Shawn. ❤️ We love you all.

We would like to encourage you to make every effort to be in the house of the Lord tomorrow. We all face distractions and responsibilities, but there is something special about gathering together to worship God, hear His Word, and encourage one another.

The Bible says:

"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." — Hebrews 10:24–25

God has a blessing for those who seek Him. You never know what word of encouragement, strength, or direction He has prepared just for you. Don't miss what the Lord wants to do in your life.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Come with an open heart, expecting God to move in a mighty way!

"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD." — Psalm 122:1

Love. It’s really that simple.

Why did God send HIS only begotten Son? Love. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
What does God want from us? Love. In Matthew 3:37 when asked by a lawyer which commandment was the greatest, “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.”
He went further to say the second greatest commandment “is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
How does the world know that we are followers of Jesus Christ? Love.
“By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:35
So it got me to thinking… What exactly is love and what should it look like in our lives? And I found the answer. 1 Corinthians 13 “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
I was like… WOW! That’s a lot. That’s a long list of things that sometimes we are prone to accept as marks of merit in the world of Christianity but yet without Love it’s absolutely meaningless. Not to even mention all the things that Love truly is and does and doesn’t do. To Love like Jesus would definitely take help from above. We are told in John 15:5 “I am The Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.” We are informed here that without Jesus we cannot love like the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians. It’s no wonder that in the list of the fruit of the Spirit the very first fruit is Love. As a branch we must stay connected to the True Vine, for that is the only way we can love one another the way God desires for us to.

I realize this is a long post but as I got to studying about the significance of Love I couldn’t find a stopping place.
So I’ll end with 1 John 4 that wraps it all up. What is Love? God. God is Love.

Have a wonderful day and a beautiful week. Keep Christmas about the greatest Gift of all. God’s Love to us: JESUS.
