Welcome to the Pastor's Corner
From the first day of meeting the people of Grace Bible Church, me and my wife Patty knew that we could see ourselves becoming a part of this church. When we walked into the doors, it was easy to see that this church is truly a place where "Love and Friendship Abound". We are looking forward to getting to know the people of Grace Bible Church more, and to see what God is going to do in this next chapter of our ministry. Everyone is welcome here and we hope to see you come for a visit soon, where you will hear what the Bible say about how much Jesus truly loves you.

Psalm 96
Psalm 96 is a great Psalm to motivate a person to witness to others the good news of God. Verses 2-3 say "Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, all his marvelous works among all the peoples!" (ESV). It's true! God has been good to all the people, it's just that some do not recognize it (yet). It is our mission as Believers in Jesus Christ to help them open their eyes to God's goodness, even in the hard times. This is what's called mercy. Getting something we did not earn or deserve. We as humans have disobeyed God, rejected Him, and sometimes told Him we know better, but instead of God displaying His wrath He shows us mercy. Like Romans 5:8 says, God still showed us love even when we were still sinners and that He allowed Jesus to die for us while we were in that condition. That same act was for all that choose this gift, so we as the saved are to share it.
Some other truths about God from Psalm 96: He is glorious, marvelous, great, creator, strong, holy, ruler, judge, and to be exalted. These are just a few of how great the Bible describes our God. We serve a great God, full of power, grace, mercy and love, and He wants the opportunity to be that for all people. He intended it from the beginning in the Garden of Eden, and He will recreate that paradise again one day for all those that accepted that free gift of salvation. If you are not sure what to say to someone to share how to become the saved, invite them to Grace Bible where they can hear it there every Sunday. God bless and enjoy the day that the LORD has made!
