From the Pastor's Desk

Greeting Friends and Neighbors,

I would like to tell you something that just may change your life! Are you ready?

GOD LOVES YOU!

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave (sent) his only son, that whoever believes on him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

God wants each of us to know that he loves us, and he cares about what happens in our lives.  This may seem hard to believe, but Jesus says that God knows how many hairs are on our heads. (Matt 10:30)  God’s love led him to give us the ultimate gift.  God sent His only Son to be the payment for our sins.

A relationship with God means more than assurance of life in eternity.  God has a purpose for each of our lives and because he loves us he wants to see that purpose fulfilled.  

The prophet Jeremiah said, “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

God desires that we have peace and enjoy abundant living.

By now you may be saying to yourself, “This all sounds too good to be true.”

You may be also asking yourself, “What’s the catch?”

Yes, it is true.  God desires to bless us now in this life and in eternity, but we must be willing to accept his Son as Savior and Lord.  

If you already know Jesus as Savior and Lord, I encourage you to continue to pursue a life that pleases God.  If you do not have a relationship with God through His Son Jesus or you are unsure if you do, I ask you to click on the Salvation link above and follow the simple instructions you will find there.  It is the most important decision you will ever make!

The peace of God be with you all.
