Get ready for Christmas

I had the opportunity to preach this past Sunday night, November 5, 

at West Cannon Baptist Church.

Pastor Doug was not feeling well so I filled in and preached a message entitled

"Get Ready for Christmas."

Here are some links related to the message.

A Sovereign Grace song related to the message of Getting Ready for Christmas:

How to Love Your Church on Sunday

I have been leading the "Your Walk with God is a Community Project" study 

on Wednesday nights and

have recently been visiting each of the Sunday School classes 

at West Cannon Baptist Church

in the effort to help our church become more welcoming 

and disciple-making focused.

I would love to see each of our church members love our church even more.

Loving your church is not just about liking or enjoying your church

but loving the people of your church and

looking for opportunities to build them up. 

Here is the bookmark resource that is being shared in the Sunday School classes.
