What is God to You?


"Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of Thanksgiving, and declare His works with Rejoicing" - Psalm 107:22

From the Pastor's Study:
As we continue to celebrate the wonderful 28 years together, I can't help but Praise and Glorify our marvelous God!  My heart is full of thanksgiving as I look back upon His awesome acts in behalf of our Church.  All the while He was helping us and strengthening us to do what task He had called us to do, He was working in our own personal lives.  What a glorious God, sending Jesus who is our Salvation, not only in forgiving our sins, but on a daily basis He is our Salvation!  He helps us in our daily chores, He delivers us from a multitude of things that cross our paths.  He strengthens us for each day and when we feel we have no strength, He is there!  Through all the changes that have occurred these past years, He has never left us nor forsaken us, but has walked beside us in all circumstances.  He truly is our Rock, He settles us, establishes us, and keeps us from the evil one.  What is God to you?  What is God to us?  He is all these things that the Scripture reports and even more!  He is our Substance, He is our Hope, He is our Eternal destination!  He is worthy of our Praise and our Solemn quiet worship that reins deep in our heart and guides us through the day.  He is our Defense against the works of darkness and the evilness of our world.  And so often our God is our Refuge from the cares of this life.  In sorrow He's our comfort, He truly is the Lily of the Valley and the Bright and Morning Star in our lives!  He is the object of our Love, our Faith, our Hope, and our Eternal Life.  He has given us the Gift of all Gifts, His Precious Son who has imparted the Power of the Holy Ghost in our life.  God has sacrificed for us, Jesus has sacrificed for us, we can do no less. Let us offer unto Him the Sacrifices of Praise ... Psalm 4:5 -- "Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord."  Ps. 27:6 -- "I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of Joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord."

                                          Giving Thanks for you!
                                                Love, Pastor
