        When the Reservoirs Run Out PASTOR'S BLOG Can you imagine a world without water? Think about it. Nearly every single daytime or nighttime, waking or sleeping, human activity is dependent on water. Why, if water disappeared from this earth, we would last around three days. “Dehydration happens quickly, causing extreme thirst, fatigue, and ultimately, organ failure and 
death. A person may go from feeling thirsty and slightly sluggish on the first day with no water to having organ failure by the third”. Read More

        Offering for September 3, 2022 Pioneer Operating Budget Malachi 3:10 “Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room to store it.” We worship with our 
resources because it is a means of trusting God. God’s instructions about soil management in Leviticus 25:3-4 is an example of God’s invitation for His children to trust Him: “For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.” We now know some of the benefits of putting the land to rest through knowledge acquired in Agricultural science. Read More |
