"GOD created the earth" day.

-

Scripture tells us that GOD has made everything we see:  the universe, this planet, and everything on it.  This is the very first verse of the Bible.  Genesis chapter one begins with, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth".

As the Creator, HE has a right and a claim over HIS creation.  We belong to HIM, and our duty is to serve HIM.  HE created us for a purpose!  That purpose is to know and worship HIM.

Psalms 100:1-5 KJV
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.  2  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.  3  Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  4  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  5  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

This earth day, many people will miss their true purpose in life.  They will give their time and attention to the Earth.  They will worship the Earth instead of worshiping its Creator, their Creator!  In doing so they fail at man's first and greatest purpose:  to love the Lord our GOD with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength! (Mark 12:30)

Worship the CREATOR, not the creation.

Pastor Appreciation Sunday

This passed Sunday was pastor appreciation Sunday. The former Pastor shared some scripture and had a gift to present to Pastor Dave. We are so thankful for a Pastor who teaches the bible.  To quote a lady who has been at our church but recently moved out of Ontario " Pastor Dave teaches the word of our Lord. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Every Sunday, he reads AND explains each chapter and verse from the Holy Bible.  A little church, bursting at the doors with the spirit of Yahweh.  Matthew 18:20.  "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them."  A congregation that is truly a loving and supportive family.  Ephesians 2:19; 3:14-15 “As such, we gather to fellowship with one another, encourage one another, and help each other. We need each other's support.”'
