Dear Church Family...

Dear Church Family . . .

We send our warmest greetings to you today and hope you receive a blessing from the services – Sunday School, Worship Time and a message in the Word. In our study of I Peter, we are now coming to the heart of the book. Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at the proper attitudes we should have as we share Christ within our government, our places of employment, our home, with friends, etc. There are many great insights we can learn from God’s Word in these matters.

Someone shared the story of a picture that now hangs in the meeting room at Matt’s house. The actual picture survived the fire even though the frame is now blackened and the glass is broken and very smoky. The portrait -- that was not harmed at all -- depicts Christ as a builder! I couldn’t help but think of Christ’s words to Peter:

“. . . I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
- Matthew 16:18

In His Love,
The Goossens
