Special Collection for Disaster Relief

Beginning this Wednesday, October 2nd, we will have the special collections box set out to take donations for Disaster Relief out of Nashville.  You can place your donation in the box or give it to one of the Elders.  Please make sure that checks are marked for Disaster Relief.  Also, at any time, you can make a donation through our Tithely website (see info at bottom of this page).  

Weekly Devotional

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God” John 1:1-2. What a claim John, writing towards the end of the 1^st century makes—that Jesus is the Word (or Logos in Greek), who is before the beginning and so is not a creation and who is God and also simultaneously with God. If true, then Jesus is not merely a good man and a good teacher who just woke up one day and decided that He was God. That would be lunacy. No, if true, then there must be evidence of Him being an agent of creation. In Genesis 1:1-3, we can see the three persons of the godhead: the Father creates, the Spirit hovers, and the Son, through whom all things were made, well … verse 3 begins, “And God said ….” The Word that became flesh and made his dwelling among us (John 1:14) in the form of God incarnate (v18) was the breath from God’s mouth that was spoken to create all things. He is further found in the Elohim of Genesis 1:26. A collective (like ‘crowd’-made up of many), Elohim takes plural pronouns (us, our) but agrees with a singular verb (The crowd is …). Thus, John was only declaring the truth that Jesus is Lord.
