Pastor's Corner
Dear Church Family,
Sometimes you just need help to pray. Sometimes it can be hard to pray. Sometimes you simply don't know what to pray.
That is one of the reasons why the Bible is such an excellent resource for God's people. It is our greatest treasure to help us pray. The Bible is a guide when we are lost. The Bible gives us words when words escape us. The Bible helps us diagnose our feelings in a biblically faithful way.
This feeling of not knowing how or what to pray has troubled saints for millennia. That is why I so thankful for the Psalms that are a wonderful prayer book. The Psalms help us express prayers in wonderful and fresh ways.
 There are also there other biblically faithful texts that help us. One of those is by Donal Whitney and it is called Praying the Bible. Crossway has provided us some free copies of this book. You may pick one up in the church lobby for free! Also, listen to a podcast below where Dr. Whitney is interviewed on this great resource.
See you on the Lord's Day!
By His grace and to His praise,
Pastor Wilson
P.S. Check out the announcements below for some great learning and equipping opportunities coming up!
