    Offer what you have to God and you can see God’s blessings. • Simon offered what he has to Jesus; Jesus in return gave him what He can give. • He offered a fishing boat to preach on. Jesus gave him boats filled with fishes. • Jesus rewards him, and bless him with what he really wants – ...read more

    Funeral service for Elizabeth Wilkey Abernethy, a quiet yet committed long-term church member who struggled with cancer for nine years. We can wait if, like Liz, we are self-controlled, upright, and godly, for the glory of the risen Christ is coming.

Do you remember that in days past shoe repair shops would advertize, “Shoes repaired while you wait”? You would go in, sit down, take off your old clodhoppers, and turn them in, ...read more
