The Supremacy of Christ

"The best gift of the gospel is seeing and savoring the supremacy of Jesus Himself. And we had no access to that joy until He took our place."
-John Piper

Harvest St. Vincent Launch Service

Pastor Dan and his wife Julie were privileged to be in St. Vincent September 5th for the launch service of a new Harvest Bible Chapel, pastored by our former assistant pastor Al Blake. The Lord worked mightily: 200 people were in attendance and 10 received Christ! Rejoice with us as you watch this video.



"For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'" And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region. (Acts 13:47-49)

Is Jesus Really Alive?

It's been a couple months since Easter. But since Christians celebrate Christ's resurrection every Sunday, I thought it would be good for us to reflect on Pastor Dan's Easter message: "Is Jesus Really Alive?" Check out this overview, and rejoice in the truth: He is risen indeed!



If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. (I Corinthians 15:19-20)

How are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?... As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" (Romans 10:14-15)

Christ is Alive...So Lift Your Voice!

Here is a taste of our recent Easter worship celebration. I arranged a version of the traditional spiritual "Were You There", then we invited everyone to join in on an original gospel-driven song I wrote for Wally to lead. Truly, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is something that believers can get passionate about celebrating. It's the Gospel, the good news! I believe our body was engaged together in an authentic, passionate, and diverse time of worship this Easter Sunday. I truly believe God is doing a unique work through our church to reach people from all backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. I'm glad to be a part of it.

Were You There

Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb

Christ is Alive

Friday Afternoon Humor: John Daker

Ok, time for a little Friday afternoon humor. This is one of our favorite YouTube videos, an all-time classic:



This sing-along cartoon parody is even more hilarious after you've watched the original a couple times:



As I think about John Daker, I'm actually impressed by his perseverance all the way to the bitter, awkward end. The "joke" is actually on his teacher. Mrs. Unsicker seems quite confident in her teaching abilies, but her poor student is woefully unprepared for his part in the recital. Yet she plunks right along on the piano, cruelly leaving John to sink or swim on his own. Let that be a lesson for all of us teachers/mentors! :-)

And remember...it's ok to laugh at others on occasion, as long as you're prepared to laugh at yourself as well. (I wish you could see me as a 6 year old walking across a church stage to receive an AWANA award and tripping over my shoelaces. My proudest moment turned horrifyingly embarrassing! Unfortunately, no video evidence exists.)

Harvest Loves...

Check out this video and be encouraged by the opportunities God is opening up for our "Harvest Loves" food pantry. Soli Deo Gloria.

"Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
"If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful." (Luke 6:30-36)

"As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." (Gal 6:10)

Please pray for this effort! Our desire is that the saving grace of Jesus Christ will be well-adorned by our kindness, and that we would have opportunity to give the gospel to many who come to receive food.
