I am convinced that prayer is vital to our success in the work of God here on earth. God commands us to pray in the Bible and we need to talk to God about each aspect of our lives. We seek God to guide us in life and to give us wisdom in the decisions…
Matthew 28:6 “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” Usually when we go to see a friend or a loved one, it is sad and disappointing to hear the words, “He is not here.” While we were traveling, it was nice to see…
As the Pastor of Summerville Baptist Church, I am thankful. I am so blessed to serve here at Summerville Baptist Church with each of you and with the team of leaders that the Lord has given to us here. While I was gone on our trip, several people asked me who was preaching while I…
God’s will for us all is to keep making progress while we are living. If a person is not saved, then His will is for them to make progress in becoming born again. This begins with understanding the truth of His Word regarding their spiritual condition as lost in sin and separated from relationship with…
Esther 4:14-16 “For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

The only time we have to declare God’s lovingkindness to those who are…
I Corinthians 13:13 “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” Our emotions are very powerful. We see the evidence of how powerful the emotion of hate is almost every day and in most every part of our world. Every day we see on the news the destruction that…
God has called us to benefit from His love in our lives personally and to show His love unto others. We need more love in our world. God’s love is unique and transcendent beyond the human ability to love. God’s love is self-sacrificing and other oriented, which is the way He wants His children to…
To benefit from God’s love in our life the most, we need to first enter into a relationship with Him through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, as our Saviour. As John 10:7-9 declares, Jesus is the door to enter into the sheepfold of God in relationship with Him. In John 10:11, Jesus also declares…
