When the church can’t meet
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” — Hebrews 10:24–25 In light of the imposed restrictions from COVID-19 (Coronavirus), Eastern Hills Baptist Church will cease […]
Do we love God like our dog loves us?
Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep His statutes and seek Him with all their heart- they do no wrong but follow His ways. You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast […]
SECURITY…In what do you place your trust?
Psalm 20:7 (NIV)Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. David authored Psalm 20. A couple of commentaries I read propose it was written as a prayer on behalf of the people for the king (David) before battle. The first part of the Psalm […]
Where were we? Where are we?
“According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilledmaster builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” – 1 Corinthians 3:10–11 Have you seen the gallery […]
Christian Discipline
I was not a very gullible child. I guess it was because we did so much camping in the Everglades. My brother, sister and I grew up with a healthy understanding and respect for nature so it really should not have been such a big surprise to my scout leaders when I would not go […]
Perplexed but not Forsaken!
How many times have we wondered…Why? Why does God allow so much suffering in the world? Why are there wars and famine? Why can’t people just tell the truth? Why do wicked people seem to prosper? Why did I lose my job? Why did my spouse die at such a young age? Why did my wife/husband […]
Our Jerusalem
WOW! Sunday morning worship was wonderful! The spirit of the Lord was all over that service. From the music to the message it was truly a time of “Worship.” Dewayne Rembert did a wonderful job in sharing God’s Word and telling about his journey to Christ. We are blessed to have him as a part […]
Is Grace Enough for You?
“Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” — 2 Corinthians 12:8–9 Remember when Paul was having a bad day? He told us all about it in 2 Corinthians 12:7–10. God had given Paul […]
Battle Stations
Proverbs 22:6: Train up a Child in the way He should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The Mission Statement for our Church is to Follow God, Reach People and to Teach Others to do the same. The Children’s Ministry is no exception to this rule. The goal of […]
Zoom In
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 English Standard Version (ESV) 16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self[a] is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to […]
