Beautiful day. Many are out pampering the carnal appetites of the flesh this weekend. There is nothing more satisfiying than to be in the house of the Lord on His day and to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Of coarse, you must have the Spirit of Jesus in your heart to really know what I'm talking about here. We thank the Lord for an AP on brother Skip. His surgery went well and he is recovering nicely. My message today at TLBC was on "The Faith of Rahab." A copy of the sermon outline is on the lower left part of the front page of our church website. click here
