Welcome to “In His Praise” The good news from East Point C.P. Church today is that we are alive and doing well. Covid-19 may have kept our doors closed for awhile, but praise be to God, in person church services began again 3 weeks ago and the Lord just keeps on blessing.  Things are not completely back to normal yet - we still try to practice social distancing, use hand sanitizer, and make masks available. There’s not much handshaking or hugging, but members are happy to be together. The choir is not in the choir loft, but the congregation sings with joy and thanksgiving. Rev. Nickles is bringing great messages from the Lord and attendance is increasing each Sunday.  We really don’t know how long these safety precautions will be…

Welcome to “In His Praise” Congratulations to all the graduating seniors out there! Although this spring has held some unexpected turns for everyone, we know that life still goes on. The class of 2020 will certainly have graduations memories that no one else has experienced. But still you graduated, you have passed a milestone and now you can move on to the future.  A future that will  continue to be full of surprises and twists and turns. There will be ups and downs. There will be successes and failures, but life will go on. You may struggle from time to time, but the key to being happy and satisfied is putting Christ first in your life and letting Him guide you. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all…

Welcome to “In His Praise” Isaiah 59:19b says. “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” (KJV) What encouragement these words can bring! Many times in life we feel “flooded” by the trials and hardships we are enduring. But knowing that we have a God that cares for us and will help us brings comfort and courage.   This is worded alittle differently in the New International Version of the Bible. Here it says that the enemy will come like a ‘pent-up flood”. That’s pretty strong! But the next phrase says that God’s breath drives it along or puts it to flight! Praise be to such an all-powerful God!  He never leaves us to fight battles on…

Welcome to “In His Praise” East Point Cumberland Presbyterian Church resumed regular church services today. The joy of the Lord was evident as the church family visited with each other and worshipped together. It could be felt in every prayer that was prayed, in every song that was sung and in every word spoken for the Lord. People were happy to be back in church. Although social distancing was observed, hand sanitizer was used, and masks were worn, the East Point CP Church family greeted each other with smiles and genuine joy  to be worshipping together again. The love of God was felt among His people. As this pandemic comes to an end, and; as we all gradually get back to normal, East Point will continue to serve the Lord.…

Welcome to “In His Praise” “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised,” Proverbs 31:30. East Point CP Church sincerely wishes each of you a happy Mother’s Day. We are thankful for Christian mothers every where and for the influence they have had and are having on society today.   Proverbs 31 is probably one of the most read and familiar scriptures about women. It begins with quotes from a mother to her son, the king. Her words of wisdom are spoken out of love and from a desire for her offspring to live a Godly life.  Beginning in verse 10 to the end of the chapter we are given a look at what a woman of God should be like.…

Welcome to “In His Praise” “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” This well known  and often quoted verse is found in Psalm 118:24.  Many times these words are spoken to celebrate a new day or a special occasion, but in the book of Psalms it was spoken to acknowledge and celebrate that God would provide a way of salvation through Jesus Christ. The unknown writer of Psalm 118  was actually speaking of future events and gives God the glory for His plan of salvation for us (Ps. 118:18-24).  Yes, we celebrate each new day as a gift from God, but we can also repeat this verse in praise of a God that loved us so much that he sent Jesus…

Welcome to “In His Praise” Music is a big part of our lives, it is virtually in everything we do. Music is used in tv programs and movies to enhance the drama or excitement of a scene. Music is used to celebrate and commemorate special occasions like birthdays or weddings. Music can bring back memories or create new ones. Parents can soothe a restless child to sleep by humming or singing softly to them.  Most importantly we use music to  worship and praise of our Father.   In the Bible, the book of Psalms is full of songs, not only of praise and worship but also of confession and repentance. Some songs in the Bible tell a story as they praise God, like Moses and Miriam’s songs recorded in Exodus…

Change is something we all have been learning a lot about over the last few months. Change can be hard sometimes, but change can also be a means for growth. For example, because of the changes that have taken place in our community since Covid-19 entered our lives, East Point CP Church has had to rethink the way we worship together. Our goal at East Point, as any church should be, has always been to spread God’s gospel to others. We want to reach as many people as possible with the good news of Christ’s salvation.  We were doing things to reach these goals, but because of the “stay at home” order, God has lead Rev. Nickles and our church to another avenue for spreading the gospel— social media. Rev.…

In His Praise! Good News from East Point C.P. Church April 12,  2020 Welcome to “In His Praise” He is risen!  He is risen indeed! What wonderful news Mary shared with the disciples that first Easter morning! We too can still rejoice in the knowledge that we have a Savior that lives; and He walks with us everyday. He loves us and provides salvation that restores our lives when we are dead in sins.  What a wonderful Savior! What a wonderful Easter message — Christ died for our sins, but He conquered death and rose to life again. Jesus died and rose to save the world then and He saves all that will come to Him today.  We too can share this message with others — Jesus saves, Jesus saves!!

In His Praise
“God is great. God is good.” These words are spoken at the beginning of a well-known children’s prayer. The prayer goes on to thank God for food and His daily provisions for each of us. We adults can learn a lot from this simple prayer about being grateful. There are so many things happening in our world right now that have upset our lifestyles, our routines— literally our lives, we might forget to thank God for all the blessings He continues to pour out upon us. What about a warm sunshiny day? Spring is here. We can still get out in our own yards or go for a walk and enjoy the beauty of nature coming forth in flowers and trees. Listen to the sweet songs of birds singing, they…
