Dear Friends,
Have you ever heard someone say, “I will be eternally indebted to you” or “I will be eternally in your debt”? The idea is that one person is so grateful to another for a gift, favor, or reward that it can never be adequately repaid. In reality, this is the very nature of the forgiveness and salvation God offers all people through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus freely offered himself, his life, to atone for our sins. Our sins, our selfish tendency to have and go our own way, create a debt to God that no number of good deeds could ever hope to repay.

We cannot reimburse or pay God back for a gift of such mercy and grace. How should we respond to such a gift? We should extend the same pardon and forgiveness to other people in our lives.

This connection between the forgiveness we receive and the forgiveness we extend to others will be our focus as we gather for worship this Sunday at Bakerville Church at 9:30 am. We come together as forgiven people, striving to be forgiving people. I hope to see you at church on Sunday!

Gratefully in Christ,
Pastor John Marshall

Dear Friends,
“I want what I want when I want it!” “Look out for number one.” “Treat yourself.” These phrases and ideas have been popular in American culture for years, if not decades. All of them are based on the idea that nothing is more important than taking care of ourselves. To be sure, it is important to maintain healthy personal habits, such as getting proper rest, eating a good diet, and exercising as much as possible. But we can get out of balance. Yet, if we follow our Lord’s teaching, we can get the balance just right. Jesus said that to follow him, one needs to “deny themselves, take up their cross and follow me.” He warned of the danger of becoming too focused on this world, its pleasures, experiences, and values. This Sunday at 9:30 am at Bakerville Church, we will spend time reflecting on these teachings of Jesus, which, if followed, will produce the kind of life most people are looking for. Will I see you in church this week? Will you be watching online? I hope, one way or the other, you will be among those blessed to participate in the Bakerville Church worship experience!

In Service to Christ,
Pastor John Marshall

Dear Friends,
Do you know the name Godtfred Kirk Christiansen? If you’re like me, probably not. Godtfred developed plastic self-locking building blocks, or automatic binding bricks, a new children’s toy in 1955. He called the idea Lego: a way for a child to build anything they could imagine, then take it apart and do it all over again. It is based on simple interlocking plastic bricks or blocks that millions of children and adults have used to create anything from simple houses to intricate spaceships and action figures.

All this, of course, reminds me of what Jesus said about his people. The building blocks of His church are men and women who claim him as their Lord and Savior. Our Lord, the head of the church, uses people like us who spend their lifetimes “binding and loosing,” or creating and taking apart, to build his kingdom here on earth. This Sunday at Bakerville Church, we are going to explore more about what it means to be building blocks for Christ. We will be seeking what the Lord might be able to build using people like us who boldly live out the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world.

Won’t you join us this Sunday at 9:30 am? Do consider inviting someone who hasn’t attended recently or ever to join you!

In service to Jesus, our Lord and Savior
Pastor John Marshall
