I am learning so many things in my first few weeks as pastor of Mt. Haley Church of God. One of the most significant of these is a reality facing many people in our congregation (and in society in general): the need to care for our elderly parents, even after we ourselves have retired. While I was preparing for this Sunday’s sermon, I was struck by how directly the scriptures address this very issue.
Preview: A Trustworthy Saying
This coming Sunday, September 12, I will be preaching from 1 Timothy 1:12-17. This passage includes a dramatic statement of the gospel of Jesus Christ, preceded by the words “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.” Sounds important, doesn’t it?
See you Sunday morning!

How the Kingdom Works

Family Ties
In Luke 12:49-59, Jesus says some pretty uncomfortable things. Did he really come to divide families against each other? Can our bond to the Lord be stronger than our family ties? Click the link below to hear Pastor David’s interpretation of this difficult passage.
