In these encouraging verses, the Apostle Paul gives practical instruction for living with peace, stability, and joy in a world filled with worry, pressure, and uncertainty.Paul writes these words while imprisoned, yet his heart is filled with confidence in the Lord rather than discouragement over his circumstances. Through this passage, we are reminded that true contentment is not found in possessions, success, or favorable situations, but in a close walk with God and a mind centered on His truth.These verses challenge believers to rejoice in the Lord, bring every burden to God through prayer, guard their thoughts carefully, and focus on things that are pure, honest, lovely, and virtuous. When our hearts and minds are surrendered to the Lord, He promises a peace that passes all understanding.This message will explore:What biblical contentment truly meansHow rejoicing in the Lord changes our perspectiveThe importance of prayer in overcoming worry and anxietyHow our thought life affects our peace and spiritual stabilityThe promise of God’s peace for those who trust HimCome join us as we study God’s Word together and learn how to experience lasting peace and contentment through a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

With holy authority and righteous zeal, He drives them out and declares that His Father’s house should not be turned into a house of merchandise.This passage reminds us of the seriousness of worship and the importance of maintaining purity in the things of God. While the temple in Jerusalem was a physical building, believers today are reminded throughout Scripture that our hearts and lives are also to be set apart for the Lord.Jesus’ actions reveal His passion for holiness, reverence, and true worship.

Every breath we take is sustained by His power, grace, and mercy. From the very beginning, humanity was created with purpose, dignity, and dependence upon the Creator.As we gather on Mother’s Day, we are also reminded of the blessing of life, family, and the influence of godly mothers who nurture, guide, and care for those entrusted to them.

Wednesday Night Bible Study – May 6, 2026Text: Job 6:1–3Pastor: Dr. Ernest GroceJoin us this Wednesday evening as Pastor Dr. Ernest Groce continues our study through the book of Job, focusing on Job 6:1–3. In these opening verses of Job’s response to Eliphaz, Job begins to express the immense weight of his grief and suffering. He declares that if his sorrow could be fully measured, it would be heavier than the sand of the sea.These verses give us a glimpse into the depth of Job’s anguish as he struggles beneath the burden of overwhelming loss, physical pain, and emotional distress. Job’s words remind us that suffering is real, and at times the burdens of life can feel more than we are able to bear in our own strength.Yet even through his sorrow, Job continues to bring his pain honestly before God. Scripture shows us that the Lord is not distant from those who are hurting, but He is compassionate toward the brokenhearted and mindful of their affliction.This study will explore:The heavy burden of grief and sufferingHow trials can affect the heart, mind, and spiritThe importance of honesty before God in difficult seasonsWhy believers must show compassion toward those who are hurtingThe comfort and strength that God provides in times of troubleCome join us as we continue our journey through the book of Job and discover how God’s Word speaks hope and truth even in the midst of life’s deepest struggles.

Sunday Evening Service – Communion ServiceText: Exodus 12:8, 24–27; Luke 22:15; 1 Corinthians 11:26–34 (KJV)Join us this Sunday evening for a special Communion Service as Pastor Dr. Ernest Groce leads us in a time of remembrance, reflection, and worship centered on the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.In Exodus 12:8, 24–27, we see the institution of the Passover, where God instructed His people to remember His deliverance. This Old Testament picture points forward to the ultimate Lamb—Jesus Christ—whose sacrifice would bring true and lasting redemption.In Luke 22:15, Jesus expresses His desire to share the Passover with His disciples before His suffering, establishing the Lord’s Supper as a lasting ordinance. This moment marks the transition from the Passover to a deeper remembrance centered on His body and blood given for us.In 1 Corinthians 11:26–34, we are instructed on the meaning and manner of observing Communion: “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” It is a time to remember Christ’s sacrifice, examine our hearts, and partake in a worthy manner.This service calls us to pause and reflect on the price that was paid for our salvation, to examine our lives before the Lord, and to rejoice in the hope of His return.This message will explore:• The significance of the Passover as a picture of Christ• The institution of the Lord’s Supper by Jesus• The importance of self-examination before partaking• Proclaiming the Lord’s death until He comesCome join us for this meaningful service as we remember the sacrifice of Christ, reflect on His goodness, and renew our hearts before Him.

Sunday Morning Service – May 3, 2026Text: Psalm 139:1–12, 14, 17, 21–23 (KJV)Title: X-Ray SermonJoin us this Sunday morning as Pastor Dr. Ernest Groce brings a message from Psalm 139 entitled “X-Ray Sermon.” In this deeply personal and powerful passage, David reflects on the all-knowing, ever-present, and searching nature of God—revealing that nothing in our lives is hidden from Him.In verses 1–4, David declares, “O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.” God knows every detail—our thoughts, our words, and even our motives before we express them. His knowledge of us is complete and perfect.Verses 5–6 remind us that God surrounds us: “Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.” There is no part of our lives outside of His awareness or care.In verses 7–12, we are reminded of God’s presence everywhere: “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” Whether in the highest heaven or the darkest place, God is there—seeing, knowing, and guiding.Verse 14 proclaims, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” God not only knows us, but He has created us with purpose and care.Verse 17 speaks of the precious thoughts of God toward us, while verses 21–22 show David’s desire to align his heart with God’s righteousness.Finally, in verses 23–24, David invites God to examine him: “Search me, O God, and know my heart… and see if there be any wicked way in me.” This is the true “x-ray”—a willingness to let God reveal what is within and lead us in the right way.This message will explore:• God’s complete knowledge of our lives• The inescapable presence of God• Our value as God’s creation• The importance of allowing God to search and examine our heartsCome join us as we study this searching passage and are challenged to open our hearts before God, allowing Him to reveal, cleanse, and lead us in His perfect way.

Wednesday Night Bible Study – April 29, 2026Text: Job 5:17–19 (KJV)Join us this Wednesday night for Bible study as Pastor Dr. Ernest Groce continues our study through the book of Job in Job 5:17–19. In this passage, Eliphaz speaks about the correction of God and the deliverance that follows, offering truths that, while misapplied to Job, still reveal important principles about the Lord’s dealings with His people.In verse 17, we read, “Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.” This verse reminds us that God’s correction is not meant to harm, but to help—to shape, refine, and draw us closer to Him.Verse 18 continues, “For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.” God’s work may involve difficulty, but His purpose is always restoration. The same hand that allows the trial is the hand that brings healing.In verse 19, we see a promise of deliverance: “He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.” This speaks of God’s sustaining power and His ability to carry His people through every trial they face.This passage encourages us to view God’s correction through the lens of His love and faithfulness, trusting that He is working for our good even in times of hardship.This message will explore:• The purpose of God’s correction in the believer’s life• The balance of God’s discipline and His healing• The promise of God’s deliverance through trials• Trusting God’s hand in every circumstanceCome join us as we continue studying Job and are reminded that even in correction, God’s love, care, and deliverance are always present.
