A Word from Our Pastor
Good morning, Church Family!
Thank you for all your love with the BIG wedding in our lives yesterday. Chris, Courtney, and all of us (as their families) were blessed by your love!
Also, Happy Father’s Day to all the dads with us today. May God use you as you nurture and train your children to follow the Lord Jesus.
This morning, we are continuing to journey down “Joseph’s Road.”Today we will see Joseph faced stop signs that warned him to run from temptation and sin. This is helpful, because we, too, face temptation, and the Bible says every temptation we face has already been faced by others. God is so faithful, however, that He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability to resist it. God, also, always gives us an escape route from temptation. In other words, whenever we are being tempted to sin, look around. God will have posted several evacuation routes just for you.
Let’s Encourage One Another,
Pastor Danny
