Ignite: Youth Weekend (January 18-20) Mark your calendars and save the date.  A group of Anderson University students will be assisting our church in leading a youth outreach weekend.  All of the activities will culminate with them leading our church in worship on January 20th in the am service.  There will be avenues for many to participate.

If you have questions or ways to help, please see or email Pastor James ( pastorjames@homelandparkbc.org )

Life Is All About Our Connections

IWe are connected to God by His hands creating us.  Because of sin, that connection was broken and now Jesus has restored that connection by offering Himself as a ransom “payment’ for our sins.  Those who accept Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord are connected to God through Jesus Christ. It seems simple to explain, but the weight of that is huge.  You and I did nothing to deserve being made right with God which makes the power of His mercy so great. With that being said, God created us to be connected to others as well as Himself.  With the mercy that He has offered to us, why would we not want to extend that same grace to others? There is no doubt that the level of hatred toward those that do not agree, is at an all time high.  We counter that hate with grace. God is calling you and I to use our connection with Him to connect Him with others. (Romans 10:14) 14 But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him?

Wednesday Night Bible Study - Titus

Wednesday Night Bible Study - Titus In this video series Chip Ingram unpacks the book of Titus. He challenges us to display the gospel in our lives through doing good. We do good works not to earn God’s favor, but as a result of God’s favor. When the gospel has truly taken root in our lives, it produces t he fruit of godliness. As we pass these things on to future generations, the Church stands in bright contrast to the darkness of the world. Pastor James will enhance the presentation with study and application for what is presented. Note: We will be moving from the Choir Room to the Fellowship Hall beginning in October for the duration of this study. The time is still 6:30 PM so come ready to learn with an open Bible and heart.
