Dear Church Family,

What a day! I enjoyed over an hour with our Sunday School Supt., Chuck Dunnavant, this morning and then an extended lunch with Church Intern, Nate Grossman. Both meetings were a true blessing!

Hey, right up front let me give you an invitation. We are amazingly close to meeting our church financial budget for the month of December. Greta tells me that we need about $1,200.00 to be there. And, furthermore, donations will Read More...

Be Careful What You Ask For!

Wes Smith — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 01:28:27 +0100

Not sure who it was that said, “Be careful what you want. You will get it!” I have watched that principle work over and over again. Some kid wanted to sell more cans of popcorn than any other kid in his class, and did. Some other kid wanted to increase the number of subscribers on his paper route to a town record, and made it. A teen-ager fixed his eyes and his heart on grandpa’s old ’84 Nissan Sentra and got it.&Read More...

Prayer Time Today

Joshua — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 01:38:05 +0100

An invitation for everyone who can drop what they are doing and come by the church during the noon hour today for prayer. We pray for our church ministries. We pray for congregation members and friends. We pray for our nation. We pray for needs around the world. We pray for the Church of the Nazarene.

The prayer time begins at noon and continues until 1:00 PM. Arrive when you can. Leave when you need to. Participate at your own personal level ofRead More...

The Heart of the Church

The Heart of the Church

What is going on in the church world today is monumental. If you have ever read anything I have written, please take some time to read and absorb the following. Bottom line is…war is going on in the heavenlies. (“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dRead More...

Opposites...

Wes Smith — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 08:49:04 +0100

You are, no doubt, familiar with the saying “opposites attract.” Have you noticed that right there in the center of the meaning of that word "opposites" is the word “oppose”? When we regard that word in relationship to marriage, somebody has to be alarmed, don’t they? Somebody needs to ask the question, “How in the world could it be possible that it would be helpful to bring two people Read More...

Heroes!

Heroes

Well, my greatest heroes are Divine and family. At this time of the year I am especially thankful that, “God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son!” My life has been forever changed by personally meeting Jesus on a Sunday night in August of nineteen sixty-five. He has been my constant companion and guide for just over forty-four years. CRead More...

Friends!

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 12:25:17 +0100

Over the past few days I have been in some cyber dialogue with some good friends from, actually, around the world. Sometime out there in the future, I will quit saying how impressed I am with the immediacy of such communications, but for the time being I'm still very impressed that I can connect with fellow Christians at the push of a button! Most of the guys I've been chatting with are from here in the United States, but Hans is from Holland. Makes no difference. Read More...

Growing In My Relationship With Jesus...

Wes Smith — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:05:35 +0100

Have you ever thought about the limited “wiggle room” in Christianity? It seems like people are either in or out. Rarely do we ever talk about someone who is on their way in or on their way out. To be honest, haven’t you run across people who are more committed to the ways of Christ than they are to the community of Christ? I have and it makes me think that the way is broader than some of us, who have beRead More...

Transition

Wes Smith — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:57:56 +0100

Frank (his real name) was one of my best friends. We met nearly by chance. Someone in the church told me about him. They said he was a past CEO of Child Evangelism Fellowship, International. Also, he had a tremendous history of investing funds profitably, so profitably that he was asked by a Catholic Cardinal to help manage the funds of the Vatican. My first meeting with Frank and Genevieve was magic. We took an imRead More...

Greetings! Stay Tuned!

Wes Smith — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:09:18 +0100

This is going to be fun! Let's use this blog to be in touch with each other, but more importantly, to "feed off of each other" about how we can grow in our walk with Jesus and about how we can serve (obey) Him more effectively. You have my encouragement to check back frequently, 'cause I love this kind of communication!
