Pastor Rick Wright's Update

In the next 6 weeks we are going to see the vision given to the 7 Churches of Asia Minor and how every church then- and every church now has the opportunity to be a lamp reflecting Christ's light in darkness.

Is it possible to withstand pressure and even endure much opposition for the faith and yet lose love for the reason of the faith? Apparently, it is. Have you ever had the wind knocked out of you? The Church at Ephesus has many good and admirable qualities yet one little, tiny, word changes the tone of an encouraging letter. Nevertheless is a word that carries much weight. Revelation 2:5 states, "Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love."  Whew, that is a knock the wind-out statement.  I am so glad it doesn't end there and the letter continues with a formula for renewal.  

Join us this Sunday at 10AM as we kick off our new sermon series "7 Letters" with Pastor Rick's Sermon "Standing in Love."
