Jesus set gifts in the church for a reason: we need them to grow and fulfill the calling God has for us. You can't be what you are designed to be without the people God has assigned to prepare you. Take a minute to be grateful for those folks.

The Test of Rest
Sabbath is almost a lost concept in the United States. We stay busy trying to take care of all our needs, wants, and wishes. God wants us to remember to trust Him. Thus, the Sabbath, a pause to remember what He has already done. Believe it!
No itchy ears!
Teaching church folk can be challenging. We either don't understand the first time, forget over time, or probably both. We need to be reminded of our failures and responsibilities, as well as God’s grace, to help us through. Thank God for pastors who provide what we need. Let's go to the assembly of the saints this week, ready to receive what we need.
Barandillas de guía: Solo compra lo auténtico.
Asegúrate de poner a prueba tus revelaciones antes de hacerlas pasar por algo que viene de Dios. Si te equivocas, sé capaz de admitirlo. Eso te dará más credibilidad, no menos. No hay prisa, tenemos toda la eternidad y un Dios que conoce el final desde el principio.
See You in Church
We are designed by our Maker to seek connection and identification. This drive fills taverns and football stadiums. God put this drive in us to encourage us to connect with other believers. He wants us to depend on each other.
Reclaim the Sabbath
Itf you're struggling with the weight of life, or frustrated by unanswered prayers, or feeling discouraged and alone, or struggling for physical healing, maybe it's a good time to swallow that spiritual pride and go to church. Lives change in His Presence.
Let’s Try a Little Faith
As we prepare for church this week, we can make our meeting more than a lecture and a mini-concert. If we come with faith, Jesus will still show up. He hasn't changed!
Stay Steady!
When God speaks to us, we usually believe that it will happen very soon. That's a possibility, but it's not the rule. We see from God's advice to Habakkuk that once we have written the vision, it may take a while. Don't quit!
Update from Pastor Virgil – August 1, 2025
I'm not very good at advertising, but I want to be sure to keep folks apprised of what's happening. God has been faithful, as always, and He is helping people. Thank you for your support and prayers.
God’s Favorite Song
All of us face some tough times. Adam made sure of that. Jesus faced them, too. He had a weapon that is available to you and I: He knew God's favorite song, and He sang it as He faced the cross. Let's try it!
