Sunday's Sermon: "Walking in Eternity Today"
Heaven is real. It's not a puzzle to be solved but a promise to look forward to; we saw as much last Sunday. But, do we live as if it matters? Scripture calls us to "fix our eyes not on what is seen but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (2 Cor. 4:18). Does that mean we are to live with our heads in the clouds, quit our jobs, find a nice hill to perch on, and wait for death? This Sunday, we are going to look at several ways heaven-focused thinking ought to impact how we live right now. Join us for "Walking in Eternity Today."
"Heaven Today"
Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox
Sunday's Sermon: "Heaven Today"
A little girl was taking an evening walk with her father. Wonderingly, she looked up at the stars and exclaimed: "Oh, Daddy, if the wrong side of heaven is so beautiful, what must the right side be!" What must it be! What is heaven like? Paul described it as 'great gain.' What will we look like? Well, the One who created everything is going to give us a grand makeover, so there's that! This Sunday we will consider the wonder of what awaits those who love the Lord. Join us for "Heaven Today!"
"Death: Facing the Inevitable"
Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox
Sunday's Sermon: "Death: Facing the Inevitable"
Frederick "Uncle Fed" Messer of Haywood County, NC was born in 1792 and died in 1907. Think about that; he lived through three centuries: 18th, 19th, and died in the 20th. Uncle Fed remembered when George Washington died (1799), and he voted for James Monroe as President in 1817. What a long life. Fascinating! Yet, in the end, he died like the 150,000 people who will die today in the world. We live in a fallen world where death is inevitable. Sunday, we are going to examine what the Bible has to say about death, all that we need to know for our comfort and instruction. Join us!
"Eagerly Awaiting the Savior"
Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox
Sunday's Sermon: "Eagerly Awaiting the Savior"
How often do you think of Christ's Second Coming? Do you sincerely look forward to it? I'm not asking whether or not you enjoy engaging in speculative debates about the identity of the Antichrist or which millennial view is correct. I'm asking: Is your heart oriented in glad expectation of seeing Jesus Christ face to face? Are you watchful, hopeful, that today might be THE day of His return? Sunday, we begin a new series with a study of the End Times. We're calling it, "He's Coming." Join us this week for the first message in the series: "Eagerly Awaiting the Savior"!
