Greetings,
I just wanted to remind everyone that there will be NO Sabbath Services at the IBEW Hall as IBEW will need the Hall this Sabbath the 20th. Instead we will be meeting with COGWA at 10:30 a.m. at 1722 S. Glenstone Ave., Suite G, Springfield, MO. They will have services and then following services a potluck and Bible Study.
We will see you next week back at the Hall at the regular time 11:00 a.m.

Do you ever ask yourself what you are supposed to do now that you are a Christian? I do. I know that I can’t rely on someone else to do my Christian walk for me. I know that there is no one in between my Savior and me. I also know that salvation is a gift from God, not something we earn. However, we are to live lives that let our “light shine before others, so that they may see [our] good works and give glory to [our] Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, emphasis mine).

The other day, I was reading a comment on a blog regarding COGs (Church of God churches) and it basically grouped them all in the term “Armstrongism.” I have heard the term before, but honestly, I have never really looked into what defined something as being “Armstrongism” until reading some derogatory comments regarding COGs.

Humans in general can tend to be very selfish and sometimes egocentric. Some may call it our survival instincts. But usually I believe, we just we like to get our way, and we do not like it when we don’t. However, I have long figured out that things usually do not go our way, and that people don’t always agree with my opinions either. In fact, the world does not and will never revolve around me, so I better get over myself if I want to enjoy life in general. Continue reading

Do you ever say, “next year I’m going to do…. Or tomorrow I will do…”? I do a lot. I think it is just engraved in us to live forever. Therefore, we plan, sometimes years in advance, of what we “will do.” However, life is unexpected. We honestly have no idea what we are going to do tomorrow, let alone years from now. I believe that is why James tells us not to say what we are going to do tomorrow because we “do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is [our] life? [We] are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:13-14). This may seem like a depressing truth statement, but it actually should be eye-opening. Since we do not know what tomorrow will bring, don’t take today for granted. Continue reading
Greetings Everyone,
We just wanted to let you know that we will NOT have Sabbath Services this Sabbath the 29th of April but will return for Services on May 6th. If that changes we will notify everyone.
Have a great Sabbath!

The Psalmist declared that, in His care for him, the Lord provided so much abundance that his cup overflowed (Psalm 23:5). What did David mean by this? In context of the psalm he was writing, he talked about God providing sustenance, even when being chased by his enemies, and healing ointment for his head and body. But is that all this verse is about? Continue reading
There will be NO Sabbath Services in Springfield on April 15th as well as NO Service for the Last Unleavened Bread Holy Day on the 17th as some of us will be in Wagoner, Oklahoma for Super Sabbath Weekend.
Have a great Spring Holy Day Season.
