Good resource material available....

Below, I am including a portion of an email I received from Bishop Duke Stone, our pastor at Hickory Valley. Please direct any inquiries to him. Thanks Brother Stone.



"...Finally, you may have seen the advertisement for ArkALMIGHTY.com. It is a fabulous service campaign that is tied into the release of the movie Evan Almighty. If a church registers for the program, they will receive all the materials (a huge banner, bulletin inserts, mail-outs, door knockers, video clips, and such) for free! It is a web-based site which allows people to post needs and then members of the congregation can go on the website and sign up to fulfill the needs. You can check it out at www.arkalmighty.com.



If you want to see how it works on our site, go to the above arkalmighty site and then click on the “find my church” on the right hand side of the banner. Then enter “Hickory Valley Community Church” in the church window; “Chattanooga” in the city window; and “TN” in the state window. Then click “find”. That will take you to our site for the program. We are just now really getting started in the program, in fact I preach my first of four sermons on the program tomorrow. They keep saying they will have sermons available, but I have gone ahead and started and would be willing to forward a copy of the sermons to any pastor that requested via e-mail. I am also including a copy of the intro promo we do before church that I would be willing to customize and forward to any church in TN that would like one. I am also including a copy of our master graphic we are using that I would be willing to make available for example (the main graphic is purchased from oxygen-multimedia.com for $5.95 and I do not have the rights to share it with everyone, but would be willing to share them with people who show me a proof of purchase receipt from oxygen-multimedia.com for the background graphics. Just though I would let you know about it. Keith Street is also using the campaign.



Like I say, best of all…it’s all free (with the exception of the background graphic we use). Thanks."

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care...

On my way to a resurrection

Someone asked, "Are you on your way to another funeral?"  My answer was, "No, I am on my way to a resurrection."  Tonight, after having preached my sister's funeral, two church members funerals and visiting a friend whose brother had passed away, I had a little quiet time in my home office.  As I often do, I reach for an old book  I've found that some books written long ago can speak to my heart.  This time, it was a book published in 1946.  This passage from J.B. Chapman touched my heart, hope it does yours too.  Victor Hugo exclaimed, "The frosts of seventy winters are on my head, but the springtime of eternal youth is in my heart." "Sometimes we look at the gray hair of a ripening saint, and say, "Old man, the frosts of many winters are on your head."  But he answers, "That is not frost.  I am getting ready to wear the crown of life, and my hair is taking on tint agreeable to the color scheme."   We say, "Ol...
