The father and son (Tug McGraw and Tim McGraw—- withheld till the end like Paul Harvey’s style) that I speak of this morning are both famous. Though they were separated for many years, it is more than obvious that God’s “purpose” was at work in bringing them together.
GOD’S PURPOSE Text: Romans 8:28 Our church secretary Paula (at Indian Field UMC) often shares insightful thoughts for the day that come from a daily calendar she has.

Today we come together to celebrate Margaret Shealy’s home going to that GREAT AND GLORIOUS PLACE called heaven!
It is important upfront that we establish why she has gone to that PLACE: • It is not because she attended church regularly. • It is not because she joined the church. • It is not because she tithed. • It is not because she was baptized. • It is not because of the good deeds she has done, ...read more

In the ministry we may have many questions? Why can't I see the fruit of my labor now? Little things can kill the effectiveness of ministry. Are we called to success or faithfulness. Love small things. Never use comparison.
SMALL THINGS? YOU MAY NEVER SEE? YOU MAY NEVER KNOW? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (Two part) A VICTIM SPIRIT WILL OFTEN SAY: LORD, I DON’T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO DO THIS? WE NEED TO HAVE THE ATTITUDE TO SPEAK: LORD, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU ARE GOING TO HANDLE THIS! ...read more

David saw the moral foundations of his country cracking and he was very upset, as we are. His song to God revealed three different concepts that reassure believers of God's loving character and faithfulness, in the face of seeming contradictions.

You read that story to a child and with that ending you close the book feeling good. The Bible does not give us a, they lived ...read more
