Pastor's Thoughts
Sunday, November 10, 2024
Good morning and welcome to DaySpring Community Church. We are so glad you are here to worship with us today. Let me say Happy Veterans Day to those in our service who have served in the United States Military, As the pastor of DaySpring, let me say "Thank You" for your service. I am blessed to live in a country where is have the freedom to stand and preach the Bible. It is because of your service that I can do that.
Emily and I are away this week. It is an honor to have Glenn Rogers, Director of Missions for our association. I trust God will speak to you through him.
There are many exciting things happening here at DaySpring. Be 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, November 13, 2024
Brother Terry Boney will be leading our Wednesday evening Bible study and prayer time. Come on out and join us.
Though salvation is entirely a gift of God, our sanctification- growing in grace- takes effort on our part. The warning to root out bitterness is tucked into a whole paragraph in Hebrews 12. There we are commanded to pursue peace with all men, to work at living a holy life, to look after each other, and to make sure no one is immoral or godless.
Most of us, at some time, have wrestled with the poisonous root of bitterness. Maybe we were cheated in a business deal. Maybe we felt disrespected by our family. Maybe we just expected life to turn out better, and that noxious root begins to stir deep inside, trying to break through the surface of our lives.
The writer of Hebrews would say, "STOP!" Though our life is a soil and circumstances the seed, we don't have to cultivate bitterness. Don't water the seed by consciously replaying offenses. Don't fertilize it with thoughts of getting even. If that bitterness does take root, use the sharp edge of God's Word to cut it out. The responsibility is ours. God will gladly assist, but the duty of obedience falls squarely on each of us. By choosing to do right, we help ourselves and avoid corrupting many.
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, study, and prayer. Make Wednesday evening a priority in your life.
In His Service,
Pastor Dennis
