Glorious Gospel Evangelistic Conference

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 16:09:55 GMT

On Nov. 2 we hosted our first evangelistic conference in which several pastors from local area churches preached upon different aspects of the gospel.

We are thankful to the local paper for promoting the event free of charge in addition we were pleased that there were many new visitors to our church who came under the faithful preaching of the word! Pray that the Lord will use the preached word to lead many unto genuine repentance and faith.

Here is a list of the sermons: Message #1: Ye Must Be Born Again John 3:1-7 (Rev. Paul Burton) Message #2: Why God Insists on Faith - Ephesians 2:1-9 (Rev. Dennis Clark) Message #3: When God Calls - 1 Samuel 3:1-10 (Rev. Peter Baugh) Message #4: The Tragedy of Being a 'Half Believer' - Jeremiah 38:16-23 (Rev. Ron Garner) Message #5: Why People Can't Believe - John 1:46 (Rev. Bob Bolles) Message #6: The Triumph of the Cross - Colossians 2:9-15 (Rev. David Charles)

Please pray with us that God would be pleased to use the 300 gospel tracts that two men from the church personally handed out to Saturday shoppers in the New Castle area.
Street witnessing and tract distribution is just one way in which the church of Jesus Christ can continue to be salt and light to a sin sick and dying world.
"Let us trust as if all depends upon God, and let us work as if all depends upon us."
(CH Spurgeon).

Let The Angels Rejoice!

Sat, 02 Sep 2017 19:54:13 GMT

Luke 15:10
"...I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
One year ago this young man come forward and confessed repentance and faith in the Savior and wished to receive a disciple's baptism. The church along with his parents have watched and observed the Spirit's fruit in his life and his continued commitment to Christ and Christ's church. Please remember this new convert in your prayers.
