Pastor's Post: Worshiping Expectantly (Genesis 4:26)

I am so excited to be meeting in person on Sunday after only meeting virtually for the past two weeks on facebook live. I ran across this thought the other day. Moses wrote in Genesis about creation this gem: Genesis 4:26 NLT When Seth grew up, he had a son and named him Enosh. At that time people first began to worship the Lord by name. This is the first time since creation and the fall of man where worship was recorded as happening.  This is the “genesis” of how and why we worship today.  We do not worship an unnamed impersonal God.  We worship “Yahweh” (“I Am”)!  He is our creator, Heavenly father.  Worship is not an obligation, it is a privilege! It is an expression of our love for God for all He has given us!  I encourage you to worship Him Sunday with other believers.  Whether it be with our church family or another one.  Worship corporately with those who want to do the same.  Let’s not take our worship opportunities for granted but vi...

Behind The Scenes Look At The Praise Team

Hey Everyone! I wanted to take a second to give you a little "behind the scenes" look at our Praise Team. We are not trying to "make it" or be a contestant on a musical reality show. We are simply using the resources God has given us to serve and worship Him. Hopefully, others join to worship Him as well. This was our prayer before the first note was struck Sunday, "God, the music we play today was created by you and for you. May the words, instruments, and harmonies be pleasing to you. May it direct our gaze and hearts to you this morning." Whether from the stage or from the pew, all worship is for Him! Use your voices and abilities from the pews or the stage. All of it honors Him! - Pastor James Photo by Marius Masalar on Unsplash

Fueling Our Launch: Thankfulness And The Mission To M.A.R.S.

  Dear Beloved HPBC Family, I am writing with a thankful heart.. During the month of October, You all showered Donna and I with much love and gifts. We are thankful everyday for God allowing us to lead you, His people.  I am also grateful for the progress we have made in the last few months of our “Mission To M.A.R.S” Ministry Model. Additional Deacons have been voted into service, the elected Leadership Recruitment Team has met and we have begun the coaching process by meeting with our First Impressions Team. We all must be  grateful for the critical elements God has established and given us, which make our mission possible. Now that our leadership team is beginning to move, we are in the recruitment phase of staffing our teams for lift off. You Are the Fuel for Lift Off! This is the most challenging initial phase, requiring immense effort and momentum to get our teams and ministries operational and effective. Just as a rocket requires tremendous effort and fuel to overc...
