From Pastor Wes
"New Ministries" This past week I had the great opportunity to join with about 15 other people in Philadelphia for learning and sharpening our skills on starting new ministries. "Ministries" can mean many different things, from planting a small group in a home, to establishing an after-school tutoring program to planting a new church. Most of the growth of the Christian faith over the centuries has been connected to planting new ministries. It has been at the core of the missions movement around the world for the past two centuries and has resulted in millions of people today knowing Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Our commission from Jesus is "to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them....teaching them." (Matthew 28:19) The Lord is calling us to be more effective in winning souls for Jesus Christ in our region. Part of that will be to think prayerfully and creatively about how new ministries may reach people that we are not now reaching. As we find, follow and fulfill God's vision for the Mercer-Bucks region, we will see many more people come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. May it be so! God Bless You this Day! |

"Why?"  This Sunday we continue in the sermon series: "Why?" Why do Christians hold the perspectives that they hold on particular issues? Pastor Wes will lead us in a biblical study on marriage and divorce. Again, you're welcome to text Pastor Wes with your thoughts in advance at 609-226-9615. Also, at the end of the service there will be an opportunity to address your thoughts and questions. For more information on this sermon series, see the "Why?" sermon series brochure here . |
