A WORD FROM THE PASTOR

"Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?  Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice."

The things God desires from us aren't for His benefit, but for ours.  There's nothing that God needs from us.  He's God after all.  He is going to be just fine.  But when we serve God, obey God, spend time to know God and grow in our faith in God, this is to our benefit.

God gives us the faith to know Him, and prepares for us works to do in His name, and gives us the talents and abilities to do these works--all of this is to make us into the persons He wants us to be.  So ask not what your God can do for you.  He's already doing it!
