Morning Service Live Stream

This week's service centers on an inspiring, faith-filled reminder that God is always in control and His plans for our lives are far greater than our own. Featuring a special testimony from Deacon Tim, the message walks through decades of God’s divine orchestration—navigating coaching and education careers, unexpected medical diagnoses, family trials, and open-heart surgery. The service challenges and encourages the church family to lean on God’s sovereignty and remain faithful, even when life's path takes an unexpected turn.

Service Breakdown

- Scripture & Opening Prayer: The service begins with a congregational reading from Galatians 6:1–10, urging believers to bear one another’s burdens, walk in gentleness, and not grow weary in doing good. This is followed by prayer for our first responders, military, local farmers, and the sick.

- Children’s Corner: The children's leader shares lessons from Proverbs 19:21, Isaiah 55:8–9, and Ecclesiastes 3:1. Using her personal journey through nursing school and job hunting, she teaches the children that while our own plans may fall through, God’s timing and purpose are always better.

- Worship & Music: The congregation joins in joyful worship, highlighted by the beloved hymn "My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less" ("On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand") and the uplifting anthem "Standing on the Solid Rock."

- The Message (Associate Pastor Tim’s Testimony): Turning to Jeremiah 29:10–14, Brother Tim shares his personal life story of God's overarching faithfulness. Drawing from his journey as a preacher's kid, his 30-plus-year career in coaching and school administration, and profound health battles—including his wife Dee Dee’s battle with breast cancer, his own bladder cancer treatments, and surviving complex nine-hour open-heart surgery—he demonstrates how God sustains His people through every storm.

Key Moments & Themes

- God’s Higher Ways: Anchored in Jeremiah 29:11, the message highlights that God’s promise of peace is spiritual wholeness and eternal hope, not the absence of trials.

- Divine Intervention in Health & Healing: Brother Tim reflects on surviving undiagnosed aneurysms, severe cardiac blockages, and cancer, testifying to the truth that God is the Great Physician whose timing and protection are sovereign.

- Trusting Through the Unknown: Even when facing deep loss, sudden illness, or interrupted personal plans, believers are called to trust God’s hand when they cannot see His full design.

- Standing on the Rock: Across the music and spoken word, the service reinforces that worldly security will fail, but a life built on Jesus Christ stands firm through every season.
