Pastors Perspective August 2015

Hallelujah thine the glory, hallelujah amen. Hallelujah thine the glory, revive us again!
Thank you Jesus for the revival you sent Pine Crest this summer. Jonathan and Terry preached wonderful messages, the church was obedient, and it was a delivering type of revival. I'm trusting that seeds were sown and watered, and soon they will spring up to be harvested into everlasting life.
I also thank the Lord for the six souls that were baptized. Each one made it so special. It was and honor for me to witness Alan baptize Kelsey and Ray baptize Rayden. Always a special, sacred time in the water.
Please pray for Pine Crest as she continues forward for Jesus and the up building of His kingdom. He has amazing things on the horizon for His children here at Pine Crest.

Love Y'all,
Preacher Craig

Pastors Perspective July 2015

With so much on our hearts, I'm certain we find a bit of difficulty gathering words together at times. These times may include sorrow, pain, confusion, burdens, and doubt.
I write to assure us all that God is still God, Jesus is still seated on the throne, and His Word is still true!
May we all continue in one accord, focusing all our efforts to winning souls to Christ. I pray this takes place at Church Camp and Revival, but let's not forget every day in between. Let's be fishers of men everyday, wherever we go.
Love y'all,
Preacher Craig

Pastors Perspective June 2015

The Bible says in Matthew 5:6-Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:  for they shall be filled.
If we desire to be filled by the Holy Spirit, let's hunger and thirst after righteousness.
If we desire to see souls saved, let's hunger and thirst after righteousness.
If we desire conviction, let's hunger and thirst after righteousness.
If we desire a closer walk, let's hunger and thirst after righteousness.
