Time for Love
There is so much going on in the world around us. Anger, hate, greed, selfishness, lust, fear, and anxiety threaten our peace of mind. Pastor Bridges preached about “The Right Time for Love” (Ecclesiastes 3:8). There is no better time than now to look within ourselves and examine our own intentions and state of mind. With Jesus Christ in us, we have the power to make a difference by keeping a pure heart and following His loving example. God loves you so much, that He gave His only son. Won’t you accept His free gift of salvation today? If you don’t have a church home, we welcome you to join us this Sunday at 10am to see for yourself what God can do!
