Last week was a busy and
exciting week in the life of Homeland Park Baptist Church and for the youth. We
started our Bible study through the parables of Jesus this past Wednesday night
and they learned of the immeasurable value of God’s kingdom from Matthew
13:45-46. On Sunday night, the church hosted a reception for my seminary
graduation (which was incredible!). This provided an awesome time for the youth
to hang out with the church body and to grow deeper in our relationships with
one another.
Thank you to all who organized,
served, attended, and gave for this occasion! I have truly been blessed by your
unconditional and sacrificial love, which is a great reminder of God’s immense
love towards us all through Jesus. I’m so thankful God allowed me to finish seminary
at Homeland Park. This church is a precious gift of encouragement and love and
is a great example of the beauty of the body of Christ. Thank you so much for a
great evening and for all that you have done for Elizabeth and me!
This week, we continue our
study through the parables of Jesus and will look at Matthew 13:47-50. This
parable tells us more about the kingdom of heaven and the great implications of
responding to the Gospel. Bible study is Wednesday night, 6:30-7:30. The Family
Life Center will open at 6:00 for anyone wanting to hang out!
Finally, remember our trip to
see the Clemson-Wake Forest basketball game on Saturday, January 24. The game
tips-off at noon and we will meet to leave from the church at 9:45 am. We will arrive
back between 3:15-3:30. Lunch will be provided and the cost for the trip is $5
