God knows us each by name. Everyone you meet today, including you, has a role to play. We're all important and necessary, but we can't do it alone. If He can use a failed apostle, four different viewpoints, and a one-eared servant to impact the world, He can use you!

Sunday Supernaturally: Fill me, Lord!
“Lord I long for you. I crave your presence. I earnestly desire the fellowship of your people. I hunger for the teaching of your precious and holy written word. Your words are life and health to those who find them. I am going searching today. You said seek and you will find. I am seeking, and I will find, in Jesus’ Name.”
January Update from Pastor Virgil
Maybe you’ve got someone who’s gone on to glory who loved you and was instrumental in getting you on track with the Lord. If so, I want to encourage you to run well. Strip away everything that slows you down. Run with endurance: Stay steady and don't quit. Keep your gaze fixed on Jesus. He's your Savior, your source, and your example.
2025: Decide, Resolve, Consecrate
Man-conceived goals, accomplished in man-mustered strength, are able to produce only man-made results. Make a decision to go a step beyond resolutions this year. Step over into consecration. Decide to follow Jesus, over, under, sink or swim.
Sunday Supernaturally: Godliness and Dignity
We are free to live with dignity, integrity and honesty. Such a life will serve the purpose of giving weight to the words we speak to those who are still trapped in the chaos of a world without a center.
Curmudgeon alert: Say What You Mean!
I admit it. I get grumpy when I hear phrases that cloud the meaning of the speaker. It's especially evil in politics, where deception is the intent. Let's call it what it is.
Pastor Virgil Update 07/11/24
God loves “plodders.” I believe that. Most great things come after long periods of just staying in faith and staying steady. In fact, James said something along those lines. Perseverance has to complete its work. Let's hang in there!
Sunday Supernaturally: Fruitful, Effective, Intimate
It's possible to believe the Gospel and not have an intimate, personal relationship with the Risen One, a relationship that makes us useful and productive. The desire for this is what propels us forward in our faith. I want to be useful, to live a meaningful and effective life. What about you?
Sunday Supernaturally: Searching for Shepherds
We are not designed to do this life alone. We need each other, and we all need a shepherd to help us along the way. If you have a great pastor, thank God for it and let him/her watch for you. If not I pray you find a place to connect, submit, and develop your gifts.
Sunday Supernaturally: I Love Church
Resolved: Commitment to a local church is essential for spiritual growth, accountability, worship, fellowship, service, and outreach. It’s where believers actively live out their faith and contribute to God’s kingdom on earth.
