Pastor's Thoughts

Sunday, July 06, 2025

Good morning and welcome to DaySpring Community Church. We are so glad you are here to worship with us today. Let me wish everyone a Happy 4th of July which is this Friday. I hope you take a little time to thank God for the freedoms that we enjoy in this country. This morning, I want to share a message with you titled: God is Merciful. Our opening Scripture is found in Psalm 67, but we will also be looking at 1 Peter 1:3-5. There we see 3 different aspects of life where those who pray to receive Kesus can experience the mercy of God: New Life, Inheritance, and Protection. God's mercy is unending. Have you experienced God's mercy?

There are many exciting things happening here at DaySpring. Make sure to check the calendar and make plans to be a part of everything we do. Don't forget to look for ways to be a blessing to others. Take every opportunity that God gives you to tell someone about Jesus Christ.

In His Service,
Pastor Dennis

Mid-Week Bible Study

Wednesday, July 09, 2025

We are halfway through our study of the Twelve Disciples. Come out and join us as we learn together.

It is possible to think that freedom means doing anything you want without restrictions. If that's how you think of freedom, you may be thinking too small. Manasseh was a king who thought freedom meant keeping himself at arm's length from God. He persuaded others to follow his lead. This thinking would allow children to ear candy at every meal. It would mean students could give wrong answers without any penalty on their score. It would mean people could get a job, never show up, and still get paid.

Freedom is best found knowing what your purpose is. When you make that discovery, you're free to do everything that helps you accomplish what God made you to do. One freedom moves you to what's important while the other typically leads to chaos and distress.

Celebrate independence from those things that stunt your spiritual growth. Be grateful that your freedom can keep you from making mistakes and from continuing to make those mistakes. There's freedom in Christ. But if you believe He has a plan for you life, then that freedom means you're released to do what you were created to do.

If you can't join us in person, make sure to join us online. I look forward to seeing each of you on Wednesday. It is an important time of fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. Make Wednesday evening a priority in your life.

In His Service,
Pastor Dennis
