    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)

    I wrote this message as a devotional to share at our next deacon's meeting. Our church is one of MANY churches without a full-time pastor. It's been over a year & a half since the previous pastor left & we need to remember the HOPE we have in Christ!

Hope is nothing but a dried-up skeleton. But that doesn’t mean we should shrug our shoulders & give ...read more
