This morning Pastor Shaffer started a new series based in 1 Thessalonians about the end times in our world.

1 Thessalonians 2:10

"Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe."

This first Sunday of 2021 Pastor Shaffer spoke from Philippians and talked about how to align our thinking with the Word of God.

Philippians 4:8

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things"

This morning, Pastor Shaffer brought us a message about the wise men and how we can learn some very valuable lessons from them.

Matthew 2:11

"And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh."

On the Sunday morning before Christmas, Pastor Schaffer spoke from Isiah chapter 9 and brought a message of hope and joy. Christmas is a special time of year to remember Jesus' birth and sacrifice.

Isiah 9:6-7

6."For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."

Pastor Shaffer continued preaching out of 1 John this morning and he preached about the new nature we receive when we are saved and how we put off the old and embrace the new.

1 John 3:2

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

Today Pastor Shaffer shared from I John and talked about the hope those who know Christ have, not just for this life, but for the next as well.

1 John 3:2-3

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

On the Veteran's Day, Pastor Shaffer spoke from 1 John and shared about our place in the family of God, and where we belong with God and other believers

1 John 3:1

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."

This morning Pastor Shaffer preached from 1 John and spoke about how to recognize truth and live for Christ in these times. It's easy to get down about the present days but we have a hope in Jesus. 

1 John 2:28

"And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming." 

Today Pastor Shaffer shared an important message with us about voting according to God's Word in the upcoming election. We should be looking to Jesus as our hope not a candidate. Jesus is still King no matter who is president and our hope is in HIM.

1 Chronicles 21:1-19
