Christian Unity & Christ's Humility

Welcome back dear brothers and sisters in Christ!

First we want to thank the God in Christ Jesus our Lord for each and every one of you, the bond that we have in Christ with each of you grows daily...that alone is a blessed gift from our Creator.  As we sit down to worship, fellowship and share a meal each week, it's not hard to see how Jesus holds us all together, orchestrates every meeting, blesses us in every way...yet still we sit amazed and in awe of everything that He does.  This week is no different of course, we sat down this last Saturday to share in the Lord's supper, something He commanded we do in remembrance of Him.  He willingly laid down His life, and shed His own blood to provide forgiveness of sins....a price paid so high that nothing in all of creation could even think of buying us back!  Let's be unified in spirit, working together in that one goal...the Gospel mission, amen?

Our beloved Pastor Scott this week continued in his series in Philippians (2:1-4), where the focus is on Christian Unity, and the Humility of Christ.  The picture we can see so clearly when we peer deeply into the Word, is how Christ humbled himself even unto death on a cross, so that we can be rescued and placed into the body of Christ.  Our video this week speaks volumes, and we implore you to take the time to listen to the Word of God (and obey God), as it is more important than anything else in life we could ever do.  The link is above that you can read the scripture for yourself, but let's post it here as well, as it is beautiful and is so important.

2 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by thinking the same way, having the same love, sharing the same feelings, focusing on one goal. 3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. 4 Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

This scripture above, looking closely, surely you can see the fruit of the Spirit at work....what a beautiful way to glorify Christ, to live like this...let us all encourage one another in this manner dear friends.  This is by no means a burdensome command, amen?

Don't forget to contact us right here on our website, or in person for the many services and serving opportunities we have available.  There is also no service on Christmas day or New Year's day this year, we are all encouraged to spend it with our families and the Lord.  We hope to see you each Saturday (minus the two holidays) each week at 7pm for worship, fellowship and a meal!  Until we meet again, here is the weeks video.



Merry Christmas beloved brothers and sisters!
