E-Flash From Dan, March 22, 2014

Dear E-Flash Friends;

Baptism services are among my favorite services of the year.  Think about witnessing people stepping forward in faith and obedience to Christ, and participating with Him in His death and resurrection.

“…having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.”  Colossians 2:12

It’s extraordinary, encouraging, exciting and inspiring!

That will be happening in our services tomorrow, March 23^rd, 9am and 11am.  And guess what?  You’re invited!

We’ll have some wonderful worship music and I am bringing a message on the topic of “Telling The Good News.”  I’m fired up about it.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Love and blessings,

Dan

Baptisms This Sunday... You're Invited! -- Brief Video

Celebrating Spiritual Victory!

We’re getting the tank ready for lots of baptisms tomorrow.  Occasionally there are people—who shall remain nameless—suggesting that we fill the tank with other liquids, besides water.  Practical jokers, they are.  But I always say, “No way, you punks!!!  We’re sticking with water!”  (A good pastor is protective about his people.)

God’s activity in our church is very encouraging.  The Spirit is at work here.  Tomorrow we celebrate Spiritual Victory!  Whoo hoo!!

E-Flash From Dan, Jan. 26, 2012

Dear E-Flash Friends;

I am excited!

We have 10 people who will be baptized this Sunday, Jan. 29^th, five people at the 9 o’clock service and five people at the 11 o’clock service.  

On the day of Pentecost, a long time ago, Peter—filled with the Holy Spirit, as Jesus promised—delivered a powerful sermon which included this line: “Repent and be baptized, every one of you…” (Acts 2:38).  To be baptized is a good, right and proper step of obedience for every follower of Jesus.  And it is a public proclamation of faith in Christ.

The baptisms represent spiritual victory for the individuals who are responding in obedience to Christ and they represent spiritual victory to our congregation as we celebrate God’s vital work in the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ! 

By the way, have I mentioned that I’m excited?  Oh, I have?  Okay, sorry to repeat myself, but I can’t help it, I am.

There’s something else coming up this Sunday, as well.

You say, “Wait a minute, there’s more, Dan?” 

Yep!  We will also be showing the movie “Courageous” on Sunday evening.  Snacks and mingling at 5:30; movie starts at 6pm; and *gospel tumbling commences at 8:45.  Hey guys, we hope you’re planning to come.  This is not a “chick flick” it is something that men can appreciate and enjoy.  In fact, I might even bring some fireworks and blow something up to just to establish the importance of manhood.

Hope you can make it to the services, you will be blessed if you do!

Love and blessings,

Dan

  

*NOTE:  Just kidding.  There will not be any type of “gospel tumbling” at 8:45.
