Do Not Be Anxious – By Pastor/Elder Greg Mattson
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

“Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen. You lead your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.” Psalm 77:19-20 At times we hear the mocking voices of the world saying to believers in troubled circumstances, “Where is your God? I don’t […]

You know the one I’m talking about. The heretical teacher that is honest about their lies, their false views of Christ, salvation, God’s word, or some other pivotal point of theology.

When Jesus sent out the 70 to prepare the towns He intended to visit, He gave them instructions. One instruction told them to heal people and to tell the healed person, “The kingdom of God has come near to you” (Lk. 10:9). An expert in the Mosaic Law asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the most […]

Memorize and Meditate At the end of an Elder meeting about a year ago, I asked Jeff and Jay what would be a good Psalm to memorize. Without hesitation, they both recommended Psalms 1. I’m happy they did not recommend Psalm 119. Lol! Jay said he had memorized Psalm 1 years ago, and it continues […]
