We had a great VBS this week.  We are so thankful for the team from Nevada Baptist Church coming all the way from Iowa to help us in Arizona.  They did a wonderful job and we are excited to see what God will do with these wonderful kids.

Also, thanks to all our helpers from Grace!

We’re excited to announce our Vacation Bible School this summer.  Reserve the week of June 20-24 from 9-11 AM for your children or grandchildren to join us as we learn Bible stories, play games, sing songs and have a fun-filled time.  Snacks will be provided each day.

This year, we’ll be finding treasures in God’s Word.  Come and find out what God says about Himself, and about the greatest treasure of all, Jesus Christ.

V.B.S. is for all children ages 3 through 6th grade.  And of course, parents are welcome to stay and have fun, too.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Than join of us for a monthly Bible Study
On the names of God.

Names have meaning.

God
Jehovah
Adonai

We will study the meanings behind these names
to not only know the right things about our God,
but to feel the right way about Him, as well.
We live in a culture that makes God into its own image,
Come and learn what God has said about Himself so that
We can worship Him in Truth.

Bible Study 10:00-11:00 am
Coffee and Doughnuts/Pastries served at 9:30 am

On Sunday mornings, our church family is studying the book of Romans.   In the first chapter, Paul gives the reason for his writing and the main theme of the entire book.

Romans 1:15-17 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.  For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.

The theme of the book of Romans is the good news of the Gospel, for in it we find the righteousness that comes from God and the glorious truth that God justifies the guilty by grace alone through faith in Christ alone.

We invite you to join us each Sunday morning as we walk our way through the most precious truths of the Christian faith.

We have encouraged our church family to write short articles for our blog.  The following is from Sanford Culver.

Many people talk about how bad this nation is and how it became this bad.  All people need to do is go to Washington DC, where they can see the Ten Commandments posted above the Supreme Court. Also look at the words and symbols that adorn the buildings, memorials, and statues in our nation’s Capital.  Most speak of God and their thankfulness to Him for His blessing on our nation.

These people should also read many of the works of our founding fathers. Some did not live as they should and some were not even Christians, but they still asked His blessing on this nation.  He did just that.

Now God is mocked and cursed; His Word is rejected. Those who reject Him say, “We know better than God— we know what is good for us. We want to do it our way.” Our way has led us to the depravity of the past five or six decades.  The Bible says…

Prov.14:12 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death

Isa. 55:8,  For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Prov.14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

We are about to finish our Sunday morning study of the book of James.   James  cuts to the heart of genuine Christianity by clearly articulating God’s definition of wisdom, true religion, faith, repentance, and our use of speech.   Even in all these convicting passages that capture the heart of God’s righteousness and drive us to despair, we find hope.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

The point of the book James is not to show us the standard that we must try through our own strength to emulate, but to drive us to the point of genuine repentance.

James 4:8-10  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

It is only when we agree with God about our true condition that He will lift us up.

Praise God for His grace.

Please let us know if you will be able to attend!
