Elm Tree Baptist Church

Wow! Our fall festival was a resounding success, despite the rain. We had a fantastic array of treats, including sno cones, cotton candy, popcorn, hot dogs, and a cake walk. Numerous games were played, with prizes to be won and candy galore. We're grateful for the individuals who stepped up to help, as we couldn't have done it without them. The hot dogs were delicious, and the games were enjoyable. We were truly blessed by the turnout. May God bless each and every one of you for joining us. If you're looking for a place to worship Jesus Christ, we invite you to join us. Our service times are Sunday school 10-10:45, worship service at 11:00, Sunday evening at 5:30, and Wednesday Bible study at 6:30. If you need transportation, please call Pastor DJ McCarter at 918-506-1242. We hope to see you again soon. God bless each and every one of you, and God bless Elm Tree Baptist Church. 🍭

We pray for God
to make us stronger,
to grow our faith,
to deepen our walk with Him.

As we say our "Amen"
and step out into life,
more times than not,
we are caught off guard
by what is almost
inevitably coming next -
temptation,
trials,
suffering,
hardship,
disappointment,
grief.

As much as we love "easy",
God in His infinite wisdom,
merciful favor,
and unfathomable love,
knows the only way
we will grow in our faith
is to come face to face
with that which builds our spiritual strength.

Easy doesn't require faith.

Easy doesn't build spiritual muscles.

Easy doesn't draw us deeper
into relationship with God.

It is in the hard times
that we learn
to depend upon our God
and discover
He is dependable.

It is in the hard times
that our faith reaches
with everything it has
deep into
the heart of God
and there discovers
everything it needs.

It is in the hard times,
when we have
nothing else,
that we come
to discover God
is more than enough.

We pray for God
to make us stronger,
to grow our faith,
to deepen our walk with Him.

When God,
in His infinite wisdom,
merciful favor,
and unfathomable love,
answers our prayer,
may we not murmur, complain,
resent or rebel.

May we instead,
embrace His gracious gift
and discover
what is inevitably coming next -
spiritual strength,
a deeper faith,
a closer walk with our God.~♥️
