We are in an exciting time in our church. Yesterday, we had the first of our new fourth Sunday worship services. We are beginning new ministries, including our new community discussion group at the Carlock Public Library. To continue moving forward and following God’s direction for our church, we must take steps as a community to ensure that our progress is not stopped short. Challenges and struggles will continue to come. Many of the struggles we encounter in church today are not new. This Sunday we will be looking at the struggles of the Philippian church and the advice Paul gave to help them move forward into the future. We will see three specific steps we can take as a church to ensure that we do not take any steps back.
