It's time for
the big game!

 

Are you a fanatic?

Or are you apathetic?

 

 


What about when it comes to worshiping God?

Are you a fanatic in worship? Or are you apathetic?

The Scripture for February 7 is John 4:19-26.
Jesus says that the Father is looking for "true worshipers".
Do you worship in spirit and in truth?

 Please join us for Sunday Worship, 8:00 am and 10:30 am.

Do we "get it"?

Sometimes I think I do. There are those amazing moments in my life when the realization of the love of Christ comes crashing in anew and afresh on me. I am washed again in grace and lifted up in power. My faith expands and my hope abounds.

But then, after a while, the moment of "getting it" gradually passes, I begin to remember once again that Christ's love is so vast and so amazing that no one ever really "gets it" for long. If we ever could get it and keep it, then we would be perfected. And I am far from perfect. Yet every time I experience one of those "got it" moments -- when I grasp again the wide, long, high and deep love of Christ for another fleeting moment -- I am changed a little bit; there is a transformational work going on in my spirit. And I move forward with my life a little bit different; a little bit holier and a little bit humbler than I was before. A little bit wiser. A little bit more thankful. A little bit more the person God created me to be.

Here at Austintown Community Church, we try to grasp the love of Christ together. We are not perfect saints by any means. But we do believe that God can change us and fill us and use us to bless the world. We believe there is joy in worship, strength in community, growth in discipleship, blessing in service and eternal hope in grasping the love of Christ again and again and again.

Come worship with us. And please contact me if I can be of any help or service to you.

In Christ,

Baptisms
