Pastor Bud & Lydia Faulk

On December 6th we held our first service in the new Evergreen Church Ministry Center. Included are some words of encouragement from former Pastors Bud & Lydia Faulk .

"Bring Your Gifts"

In this Advent message "Bring Your gifts" we are encouraged to discover what we truly care about and invest our time, energy and resources into those things, bringing our gifts to God with joy. We also look at the fears that keep us from being generous.

Looking Back Moving Forward

On November 29th 2015 we held our last service at the Evergreen Chapel built in 1952.

“Bow the Knee” Matthew 2:1-12

In this message we visit the visitation of the King. Wise men from the East came and bowed the knee to him because they recognized his Kingship. We too are called to “Bow the Knee” to Christ the King. We are to bow the knee in pursuit, repentance and submission to Christ. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess. The gift is found in recognizing the Lordship of Christ in the here and now. 

John 7:25-52 “Flow”

Does your faith help your life to flow and become ever more alive, or is it just a set of beliefs to be defended? In this passage, Jesus declares that those who believe in him will have streams of living water flowing into their lives. He speaks this during a time of year when everything is parched and the people are praying for rain.  

John 6:51-71 "Listen"

In this week's passage, Jesus tells us what we need to hear, even if it isn't what we 'want' to hear. The majority of those following him turn and walk away. The few who were left chose to 'Listen' even though they didn't fully understand. There are many times in life when we don't understand, but will we choose to continue listening until we do?

John 6:35-51 "The Ark of Christ"

The 'chosen' were not drawn to God when He was in their midst. In fact, when they encountered Jesus, they did not really like what God was like. Jesus reveals what God is like when he dines with sinners, is anointed by a prostitute, shows grace to an adulteress, receives an invitation to Zaccheus' house, touches the untouchables, tells a condemned man that he will join him in Paradise, and rebukes the self-righteous. This is what God is really like and those who can receive a God like this will indeed receive eternal life. They will be drawn to God in Christ just as the animals were drawn toward Noah's Ark and in Christ they will be brought into the new world called The Kingdom of God.
