Sunday Services

This past weekend was a great time of fellowship and ministry in our churches in Tennessee. Yesterday morning, Debra and I were blessed to be with the Empowered Church in Dickson for their anniversary service. Pastor Mike and Rhonda Jennette work so hard for the kingdom, and are building a powerful ministry in the middle Tennessee area. During the morning service, I was blessed to extend the membership covenant to two brand new members. When I shared this with one of our pastors yesterday evening, he shared that he had received four new members into his local church the same day. Praise the Lord.

Last night, the churches under the care of District Presbyter, Bishop Gary Riley gathered at the Crossroads church in White Bluff for an great time of worship and fellowship. As you may know, Crossroads has a large seating capacity, but there were so many in attendance, that chairs had to brought from the Sunday School room and set in the aisles to accomodate the crowd. The Empowered team led worship and the Crossroads youth group presented a powerful "human video."

I am thankful for the presence of the Lord in the service and for all who helped to make the services a success. I am also thankful for those who accepted Christ as Lord in the services.

Our next District meeting is in two weeks. We will gather at the Lakeside Church in Westmoreland at 6:00 p.m. on January 24th, wehre Bishop F. Leon Graves, the District Presbyter serves as pastor. We invite you to attend. God bless!

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
