5/19/2024 0 Comments Pastor’s PenBeloved, Sheila and I are out of town visiting Sheila’s Mom, sisters and other relatives in Florida. We will be returning home late this evening. In my place, Pastor Joel Hernandez will present a message from Psalm 127. Please take heed to God’s Word.
Now, concerning Summer home fellowships, there are five different Home Fellowships which will be available throughout the week. Sign-up sheets are located in the Fellowship Hall. Please continue to pray for our upcoming VBS and for one another. Galatians 6:9 says, "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (ESV) We will see you soon! We love you and continue to pray for you and your family! Blessings- Pastor Joe & Sheila Marquez

5/12/2024 0 Comments Pastor’s PenBeloved, there are many different types of callings in this world. God calls some to be lawyers and others doctors and others teachers. God calls some to be evangelists and others pastors and others bus drivers. But I do not believe that there is a greater calling than that of a mother. If God has called you to be a mom, it is a special calling indeed!
A Mom will love you when the entire world hates you! A Mom will believe in you when everyone else thinks you stink. And a mom will care for you in your deepest darkest times with love and care and compassion. Today we’ll look at a young lady called to be a mom and ever more than that, called to be Jesus’ Mom. Mary certainly had a unique call on her life, and she fulfilled it very well. You also have a unique call on your life and God will fulfill it as you trust in Him! By the way- Happy Mother’s Day 5/5/2024 0 Comments Pastor's PenBeloved, Paul had hope. In fact, with the world in chaos around him, with himself being jailed and chained, he still had hope. Paul wrote in Acts 28:20, “It is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.”
Certainly, Paul’s hope was in the person of His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Hope of Israel. Jesus Christ is the hope of Israel and the world! Because Paul had hope, Paul wanted everyone to know the hope that he had. He wanted everyone to have a personal relationship with the Messiah, Jesus Christ. This is why he would endure such harsh conditions, such as being jailed and chained. Paul especially wanted his own people, the Jews, to know the Hope of Israel. For 3500 years the Jewish people have awaited their Messiah. Woven through every book of the OT is the Messiah. For 3500 years the Jewish people have prayed this prayer: “I believe with perfect faith in the coming of Messiah and though He may tarry yet I shall wait for Him every coming day.” That Messiah has come. Paul knew that but yet many Jews did not know and still do not know that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Do you know the Hope of Israel and the World? DO YOU KNOW JESUS? Blessings- Pastor Joe |
