Well, folks, it looks like Old Man Winter has finally moved in among us, especially after teasing us so many times. But then, it’s January, right, the time that winter usually does make itself known in our presence. Brrrrrr! And this week, our temperatures will fall somewhere between the mid 20’s to the high 30’s! Brrrrrr again! I hope you are ready for it because it is most definitely here! 01/09/2025 03:22 PM

Your Testimony In The New Year
Your Testimony In The New Year
This is the last Sunday of 2024 and in just two days it will be New Year’s Eve, the day that we promise ourselves that “This year, I’m going to be different! This year I’m going to be a new person with new ideas, new thoughts, and new ways of doing things!” We call these “new ways”, “New Year’s Resolutions”, and maybe about half of what we want to do will happen in the new year, that is, if we really are serious about making some changes in our lives. So let me draw our thoughts to a passage that we don’t read very often and certainly a passage that I have never used for a New Year’s message, but it’s a passage that just might challenge us to make a different kind of new year’s resolution. Turn with me in your Bibles to the third letter of the Apostle John, the one entitled, “Third John”, and let’s look at this letter together. We are going to examine the testimony of three men, two good, and one bad, and hopefully learn something about bringing a good testimony about the love of Jesus Christ to those around us. 01/02/2025 09:19 AM
