Shine for the Son This Spring
With daylight saving time going into effect today, we will all be anticipating spring even more so with the longer days that are upon us. And oh how beautiful it is in nature right now!

Our great and marvelous God is doing it all over again “… upholding all things by the word of His power.” (Heb. 1:3) Pray for God to continue to bless us with good spring rains so that we will be able to [...]

Personal Responsibility
Consider the following article taken from the church of Christ bulletin in Crosbyton, Texas regarding our personal responsibility as children of God. “One of the most difficult things for Christians to do is to accept his or her personal responsibility. Somewhere in the past when the church was young, the idea of the ‘clergy’ developed. Perhaps it was unintentional, but it did develop to the extent that most Christians feel very little personal responsibility as far as the maintenance and growth of the church. Jesus said, ‘Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my [...]
Worshiping God
Welcome to this period of worship to God this morning, especially if you are visiting with us today. As we assemble to worship God regularly, I want to encourage you to read and think carefully about the article below copied from the Bulletin Digest.

Commit to Hold Fast
The New Testament speaks quite often of the importance of “holding fast.” Consider the following calls to “hold fast” and what this holding fast means for us. “by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you – …” (1 Cor. 15:2) This means that we continue believing the gospel message we have received (1 Cor. 15:1) and obeyed. “Test all things; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thess. 5:21) This means to give yourself to holding on to what is good by doing what is good and therefore keeping evil out of [...]
The Apostle Paul in Athens
Tonight we’ll be studying about an “Introduction to Who God Is” from Paul’s sermon in Athens recorded in Acts 17:22-31. Athens was one of the greatest ancient cities, but it was also a city full of idolatry. (Acts 17:16) Paul reasons with the Jews and Gentiles who worshipped God in the synagogue along with those in the marketplace as well regarding Jesus the Christ. (Acts 17:17) The Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to question Paul. (Acts 17:18-21) The Epicureans chief aim in life was pleasure. They believed they could find happiness by seeking that which brought physical and mental pleasure. [...]
