Dr. Mac Stinson’s sermon title today was “Where is your Rock?” His scripture came from Ephesians 4:1-16, written by the Apostle Paul. If you detect a sense of urgency in the passage, Paul was in prison awaiting his trial while writing the book of Ephesians. The central theme is unity through Christ, including complete Christian unity in the family and in the church. Paul states that it is vital that the church be unified.
The greatest need in our churches today is commitment, whether they are large or small. Jesus said: “If anyone would be my disciple, he must take up my cross and follow me.” In another quotation He said the day shall come when “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”
Your prayers are requested for our pastor, Dr. Mac Stinson, his son, Mac Stinson III; his daughter, Mary; daughter Ann, leaving for Africa as a medical missionary and his sister, Gail.
