This Sunday at Church: Share appreciation for those who serve with church financial book keeping

We are actually in the process of finding someone new for our bookkeeping/accounting, but our Sunday offering collectors/counters are also very much appreciated!

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Share appreciation for those who serve with church financial book keeping The last few week’s Sunday post probably reveal to readers that the church I pastor is small.  That means its also hard to have deacons that can do the financial book-keeping. […]

We happen to have some new people involved with our music team, including youth, so that is a very happy thing.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Encourage someone new in the Worship team. This upcoming Sunday we will have someone new involved with our songs of worship during Church. For us its a big deal; we are a small church in which one person has led songs of […]

This Sunday at Church: Praise God for New Members in your Church

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Praise God for New Members in your Church. This week we will three new members.  They aren’t necessarily new to our church.  But they have been added to the numbers of members and not just attendee. For our small church that is […]

This Sunday at Church: Pray for the salvation of any unbeliever hearing the Sermon today

Our team does this every week as we prepare to begin. The Church does not meet for evangelism, but people often know to come to hear the gospel. May we always be ready.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for the salvation of any unbeliever hearing the Sermon today. I thought I have written on praying for nonbelievers to be saved before for a post with our ongoing “This Sunday” series but apparently I somehow didn’t have this before! There’s […]

This Sunday at Church: Pray for those who attend church would have the right motivation with going to church

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for those who attend church would have the right motivation with going to church. My church is a small church.  Over the years people have left saying its too small.  I think there’s times when people might leave a church for […]

This Sunday at Church: Pray with someone starting High School

This may surprise some people, but I pray with junior high and high schoolers regularly.

They need it. And from more than their youth Pastor.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray with someone starting High School. Apparently I have not post this idea before; though I have posted about praying for someone at church who is going off to college. As crazy people with agenda want to influence our kids wrongly in […]

This Sunday at Church: Get good tracts for the evangelists in your church

I am actually tasked with going through our tracts in our congregation, because so many people bring them to church to share! I also share some, but we are an evangelical bunch.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Get good tracts for the evangelists in your church. There is a brother in our church who has been evangelizing more.  He often gives tracts to nonbelievers on the way to work.  I got him some tracts.  I plan to still give […]

This Sunday at Church: Get Ice Cream with Someone

I happen to lead our Christianity 101 study, and it was designed to be done with lunch (and usually dessert!) and is in the home of one of our attendees. This helps us all learn and grow together. We share food and God’s Word, looking at His promises and inviting Him into our homes.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Get Ice Cream with Someone. The early church has meals together. Hear Acts 2:46: “Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of […]

This Sunday at Church: Express praise if your Church teach from the Old Testament

I hear from folks in our congregation regularly how glad they are they can hear the full council of God from our pulpit. We follow the approach of alternating from a book or series of books from the Old Testament and the New Testament. We preached through Ruth, and are currently in Galatians.

I know I thank God for this little congregation and the leadership. I have been in enough churches that preach primarily topical messages (not necessarily bad in and of themselves, but they must be biblically sound and based!) and/or downloaded sermons from others. (And this was not in Southern Baptist Churches, like was heard of from Ed Litton as and before becoming the SBC president. Aht least he typically used fairly decent material. I have heard sermons pulled from known false teachers but that “sounded so good!”)

Daniel

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Express praise if your Church teach from the Old Testament.   I think most churches on Sunday would be teaching on the New Testament.  That’s good.  But we must not forget that the Old Testament is also the Word of God. And the Old Testament is often […]

This Sunday at Church: Pray for those who are doing more work at church while others are gone during the Summer

This usually describes two or three of us in particular in our congregation especially this year. Our lead pastor is on vacation, and an elder is home with his second baby. I do get a short vacation this summer, but our music pastor and I are pulling double duties. I will also be with another congregation twice to cover for our brother while he goes out of town! My wife also often covers for Sunday School teachers (she is teaching three times this month, plus nursery time.)

But we do love it.

Daniel

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Pray for those who are doing more work at church while others are gone during the Summer.   Summer is often a time people take vacations or long breaks from the routine.  Its a time some churches might not have as many people around during Sunday.  And […]
