Verse of the Week

I pray that you had a safe and blessed Christmas, and holiday season. This week as we will be celebrating the upcoming year, we have two verses from Philippians. As we think about the new year, let us learn from the past, and go forward in Christ!

Philippians 3:13-14 -

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Glory to His Name

I'm getting a late start for the month, but wanted to bring you up-to-date. Our theme at church for the month of December is "Glory to His Name". This theme is appropriate not only for the Christmas season, but also for every day of the year. It is based on I Chronicles 16:10, which says:

Glory ye in his holy name:
let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

Our secondary verse is commonly used during the Christmas season, as it foretells the birth of Christ; it also details some of the names of God. The verse is Isaiah 9:6 -

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

I will be posting Pastor's messages relating to this series. It is our prayer that these posts will help you reflect upon the name of God, and focus upon giving Him the glory that He rightfully deserves both today, and every day!
