Baptism is a demonstration of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and it is a step toward obedience for believers. If you are a follower of Jesus but have not been baptized, let me encourage you to take your next step and be baptized. If you or your child is ready to be baptized, email Maclane or Craig to sign up.

Online Giving Link
We are transitioning to a new online giving platform. If you have recurring giving set up through our website or app, you should have already received an email with some pretty simple instructions on how to make the switch. If you give online periodically but do not have a recurring gift set up, you will notice a slightly different look, but it should be seamless the next time you give online.

We are preparing to continue another year of providing food for students in our school district during break times. Our upcoming dates to do this will be during their Thanksgiving Break and again for Christmas Break. To help us get a preliminary jump start on collecting all we will need for these distributions, we will start collecting this Sunday. Follow the calendar below, and each week you can bring any quantity of the requested weekly items to church!

SERMON NOTES | NOVEMBER 9, 2025 | MACLANE FORBUS
HOT MESS SERIES | HEBREWS 12:1-2
JOY IS INTERNAL, NOT EXTERNAL.
OUR JOY IS FOUND IN WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST, NOT IN WHAT WE ENDURE IN LIFE.
OUR JOY IS FOUND IN OUR COMPLETE OBEDIENCE TO GOD AND IS NOT LOST IN THE PAIN THAT OUR LIVES MAY BRING.
OUR JOY IS FOUND IN THE PROMISES OF GOD FOR OUR FUTURE, NOT IN THE UNCERTAINTY AND REALITY OF OUR PRESENT.
THE GOSPEL SETS THE TONE AND THE PACE FOR JOY.
TO LIVE A LIFE OF JOY, WE MUST FULLY SURRENDER OUR LIVES TO THE ONE WHO IS THE SOURCE OF ALL JOY.
TO LIVE A LIFE OF JOY, WE MUST ACTIVELY FIGHT AGAINST THOSE THINGS THAT TRY TO STEAL OUR JOY.
TO LIVE A LIFE OF JOY, WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT JOY IS CONNECTED TO WHAT I DO FOR OTHERS.
