WOW! April was a tremendous month for us here at Great Commission Baptist Church! As we look back over the last 8-10 weeks we have seen how our regular attendance has doubled. Easter Sunday we broke our all time attendance record! We had 42 and 3 to show up late at the wrong time! lol! We have 1st time visitors just about every Sunday!
God has graciously allowed us to purchase a church van and we have already used it on a youth activity! We have had 3 professions of faith and two to come forward for baptism! Hallelujah! I am currently endeavoring to start a van ministry to bring people to church. So far it looks very promising!
Great Commission is currently anticipating the possibility of leasing a building of our own. I will mention more details in a few weeks. If this works out, it should allow us to expand our ministry opportunities a little. PLEASE MAKE THIS MATTER A PRIORITY IN YOUR PRAYER TIME! Our church is going to need money to remodel and make the space appropriate for our use. We are also going to need various building materials and qualified laborers to help us with the renovation.
As you can see, things are going well, but rest assured Satan is working against us. Of course, we expect this, but we ask you to labor with us in prayer that we can stay right with our Lord and serve Him faithfully!

It is amazing to think about what can happen when a spark ignites a combustible material. Just a little spark can start a campfire, bonfire, forest fire, and even a firestorm. The great lamps of those faithful lighthouses, which dot the treacherous shores of our nation, all derive their origin from a single spark Read More...

Life is full of trials and tests. Even the pagan and unregenerate sinner understands this great truth. As followers of Jesus Christ, we have an awesome promise from God concerning our temptations of life. Consider 1 Corinthians 10:13...
(1 Corinthians 10:13) "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it Read More...

It has been a while since I have been able to post anything on this blog. I want to praise the Lord for allowing me to get it running again. In recent days, we have seen more visitors come to church and people we have been praying for are more receptive to us. It is exciting to see what lay ahead of us Read More...

With so much misinformation out there about [intlink id="3617" type="post"]angels[/intlink], it is refreshing to know that there are some things angels do that we can do as well. You may have given no thought to the fact that angel express their emotions. That's right! They feel, are inquisitive, and express themselves much like we do Read More...

Years ago, while working in a factory, a wise lady related a saying she heard when she was a child. It goes something like this: "If everyone in my church were just like me, what kind of church would my church be?" As then, so now Read More...

Most people are diligent in some area of their life. With many, sports is a pursued pass-time, while others may enjoy working in their gardens. Even lazy people are diligent. You guessed it... they work at doing nothing! :-D One thing is certain, everybody, especially God's people, must be diligent in whatever they come into contact with Read More...

As long as I can remember, stoplights have been such an irritation to me. Though used for safety and proper traffic flow, these electric lights can be so inconvenient. Almost everybody can attest to some incident where a stoplight hindered getting to some event on time, or caused the loss of sight of someone you were following Read More...
