This Sunday: If your church has a church security team let the pastor know you are grateful

I am personally grateful for the security team, because for several months I was the security team, setup/teardown team (with occasional volunteers), and cleanup team. I also had to occasionally teach Kids Sunday School, help with A/V, and even preach. That does not make for strong security. We finally got a man who saw the need, got extra training, and now we have a good team in place. (We also have teams for everything else, though I help in several areas still.) I get updates and questions from the team, but I can sit more on Sundays. We certainly live in a dangerous world, but God is good and has His people equipped.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for Christians in the West as Biblical Values are deem as Hate Speech

We may be seeing a revival before our eyes, but like the early Church in Acts and later, we keep facing people telling us to stop speaking in this Name, or at least say everything the same way everyone else is.

May we be bold and seek our King, knowing He set the example and has called us to boldly proclaim the gospel, especially when the world hates us.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for a church you know who lost a pastor this year

I know many churches this year that lost a pastor due to death, burnout, or sin. It has been tough.

Let us pray for those churches and those families.

This Sunday at Church: Grateful for those who clean up after Church meals

I have been grateful to see a mixed collection of people helping clean after chirch meals. Our hospitality team is mostly older folks, but there are many in their 30-40s. Many youth often help out, too.

Let us be grateful in all things.

This Sunday: Encouraging someone to use Bible commentaries

We recently handed out some study Bibles to people in our congregation. I personally have been wanting more people to know how to read and use their Bibles since discovering some who thought the numbers and headings in our Bibles are also inspired Scripture.

Our pastor and I also began giving some people our extra copies of commentaries (plus a few gifts of new commentaries), with guidance on using these resources as helps rather than definitive truth about passages. We are beginning to see dramatic growth in many within our congregation.

Knowledge is power, and understanding our Bibles better helps us understand ou Lord and Savior better, and the power of God us life-changing.

This Sunday at Church: Being thankful for back up Sunday school teachers

My wife and I have had to cover so many Sunday mornings teaching. After six years, we finally have a strong team of teachers who are willing to trade days and jump in when needed. (We get to be in church together today for this very reason!)

Give thanks to God always, especially for volunteers and those willing to help in an emergency.
