Today’s Sunday School Lesson

The Life of David
II Samuel 22 David’s Great Psalm to the Lord
This chapter is a compilation of all the psalms that David wrote; it is a condensed form of all his psalms. A better title for this psalm is, “How to be close to God.”

Today’s Sermon

Philippians 2:12-18 Rejoicing in Service and Sacrifice
They were to allow their inward salvation to work out to outward fulfillment “with fear and trembling.” This is a reference to the humility and respect for a power outside themselves that they should give full awe and respect to in order for this working out to take place. If you think that you are God and in full control of your life, you will not allow the truth to work out. We must have the fear of God in our lives, which is all-important to true humility and obedience. When we speak of trying to live the Christian life “in our own power” we are referring to attempting to follow the Lord without the full fear and awe-inspired obedience that Paul is calling for here. We cannot truly follow God if we do not fear Him

Pastor Greg A. Chandler
A local church that is Baptist in doctrine and unaffiliated with any national denomination. We have been worshiping the Lord since our forming in 1988. Some of our members have fellowshiped in this and a previous church for over 50 years. We are families who have come together to try to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We support 3 missionaries and try to help as many as we can while pursuing our prime directive as a church to teach the gospel and train followers of Christ. We welcome the utilization of the best translations of the Bible (we are not KJV-only) by each individual believer since each believer has the right to choose for himself in the freedom with which Christ has given.

Greg's Little Sayings

Church is on Sunday morning because of Saturday night
I'm doing the work of 3 men - Larry, Moe and Curly!
Most church folks don't mind having the wool pulled over their eyes, but they do mind getting fleeced! Courtesy Dennis Craig
This faith ministry is going down the tubes if you don't give!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Prophet's Meeting is cancelled tonight (Huh?)
If you let the dogs out, don't complain about the barking!
I saw a bumper sticker, “Nature is my church.” I guess he can’t get along with other folks
Those that blame God for suffering acknowledge there is a power greater than themselves; at least they're not atheists
On church arguments - it's always about control
Church is no more than a handrail on a set of stairs! Courtesy Johnie Jackson
We're not the worst church you'll ever attend!
Ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya!
When in doubt, sing!
If you’re feeling down and faithless, wait three days, you’ll feel better; in the meantime, clean something, at least you’ll be doing something good
It’s not just what you believe that matters; it’s how you hold what you believe
Humility: if you have to advertise it, you ain’t got it
When you’ve done all you can, have faith; oh, no, has it come to that?
