The Sin of Partiality

Welcome back once again beloved family of God!

Let's take just a moment and give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.  God is faithful to His word, and we should be giving Him praise continually that He judges not by outward appearances.  Jesus looks intently at our heart, for He alone knows them.  Who better to give our heart to and trust with it, than the very one who created it, washed it cleaned after we turned it to blackened stone, and gave it back as one of flesh?  Yes let us give Him immense praise for such a wondrous work!

We are sure glad to share each weekend with you, to worship, pray, sing and study the Word of God together.  Sharing the Gospel with another is as important as sharing it with everyone else.  This past weekend we were honored to have our associate Pastor Bob come and share with us his continuing series within the book of James.  Starting in James 2:1-13, Pastor gives us a clear look at the sin of partiality...our biases.  How often we take and make our decisions about a person, thing, or event based solely on what we see on the outside?  The Lord gave us clear direction on this all the way back in 1st Samuel 16:7, as He instructed Samuel to annoint David as King.  However today we all together still struggle with this judging outwardly, and it always gets us right smack into sin.  Fortunately for us we have a great and merciful God who forgives us our sins, when we repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.  It is because of the Holy Spirit we can be guided into making far better judgements, by the Word and not by outward appearances.  Pastor Bob takes us deep into scripture on this, and we highly encourage you to watch this weeks video and share it with others. 

We also encourage you to visit us right here on our website and see our various services in all things Gospel related, including ways to contact us or meet with us.  We welcome everyone to come and hear the Gospel, be changed not by your deeds but by the Spirit of the True and Living God in Jesus Christ!  Every Saturday we meet at 7pm for worship, fellowship and a meal and we hope to see you there at the next.  Until then, brothers and sisters, share the Gospel to all.  We don't know who will be saved, only the Lord does, but we have a great call for all believers, to share the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!  We love and care for you!
