PASTOR’S MESSAGE
Hi Friends,
Picture in your mind an orange tree. Got it? What kind of fruit is an orange tree going to produce? Easy answer.
Picture in your mind someone who loves and trusts in Jesus. Got it? How is that person going to act, think, and talk? Easy answer.
Jesus says in Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
This weekend we are continuing our series Faith Works, which is study of the New Testament book of James and we will see that when you look to and at Jesus in love and trust you will see not only the narrow way to heaven but also that you are on the narrow way of Faith that Works.
You’re invited to join us for worship this Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30am. You can worship at Victory, on our live stream site, or on our YouTube channel.
Sharing Christ’s Victory,
Pastor Bill
CURRENT SERIES: Faith Works
ICYMI: Pastor Ben continued the series with a message in James 2. It is common for us to judge a book by its cover based on looks, wealth, or something else. We might even judge people by what they can do or provide for us. God doesn’t play favorites and neither should we. Show love in your actions towards others and be welcoming to all people. To read and watch the message, click here.
Coming Up This Weekend: Pastor Bill continues the series with a message about faith and works. We believe that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ apart from works. But true faith in Jesus will lead to good works. Our faith in not just some intellectual knowledge of God but the action of living it out. You can join in on Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30am at Victory, on our live stream site, or our YouTube channel.
