Welcome to “In His Praise” How great is our God? There is no sin He cannot forgive, no hurt He cannot heal, no wrong He cannot right. As the song says, “What a mighty God we serve.”  When the world looks scary and overwhelming, we can rejoice in the knowledge that we have a Savior that has overcome the world. (see John 16:33)  When our problems seem hard to bear, Jesus invites us to come to Him for relief and rest. (see Matthew 11:28-30). Most importantly, because we need salvation, God provides it for us through His Son, Jesus Christ - “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,” John 3:16. What…

Welcome to “In His Praise” Being a child of God has many benefits, most importantly being saved from our sins and gaining eternal life in heaven. It is such a blessing to know that our future is secure, that we have a permanent home with Jesus that will last forever. But what about while we are still here on earth? Life is not always easy or simple or fair. The world is not a safe place many times. We all have had unpleasant experiences, some even have lived through horrific times. But, as a child of God, we are assured that even in hard or terrible times, we are not alone. Romans 8:35 asks these questions,“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,…

Welcome to “In His Praise” We live in a lost and fallen world and things seem to be getting worse all the time. What are Christians to do when it seems the news is filled with nothing but bad news? What are we to do when it seems that all we hear about is violence, anger and destruction. Evil is running rampant in our world today. It may seem that good people are out numbered and have no voice. But don’t lose hope, there is good news! Matthew 5:14-16 says, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone…

Welcome to “In His Praise” “The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets”, Psalm 50:1. What a powerful verse of scripture! When things seem out of control we are assured that God is still in control. He who created the earth and all the universe keeps all things on course by His word. He calls the earth forth as a kind father calling a child and He watches over the earth and all its inhabitants everyday, all day. What comfort and joy this verse of scripture should bring to our hearts! It is good to be loved so much by such a mighty God!

Welcome to “In His Praise” The good news from East Point C.P. Church today is a verse from Psalm 118:14. These Bible words say, “The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.” These words give us encouragement, hope and assurance. No matter how weak we feel we are, as Christians we know we can always depend on strength from the Lord. He stands ready and willing to help us when we call out to Him.  When we’re sad or afraid, He will put a song in our hearts and can cause the darkest circumstances to become brighter. Remember Paul and Silas in prison? They sang praises and an earthquake freed them! (Acts 16:25-31) And what gives us cause to sing? The salvation that the Lord alone…

Welcome to “In His Praise” Today we celebrate fathers. There are all kinds of dads. Many are biological dads, some may be adopted or stepdads. Still others could be a friend or relative that is a role model or surrogate dad. Whatever kind of dad you are, we say Happy Father’s Day to you and thank you for all you do. May you know the Lord and feel His guidance as you love and nurture your children. This is our prayer for you:  Lord, thank you for fathers and their special place in the life of the family. Grant that the fathers of our church and nation learn and accept the unique role you have given them. Give them the spiritual discernment to lead their children to know God as…

Welcome to “In His Praise” How important is it to read and study the Bible? Among other things, the Bible is God’s ordained word, it gives guidance for daily life, it tells us what we need to do to have eternal life and it tells the story of Christ. The Bible is full of promises from God to us. Isaiah 55:11 tells us that when God’s word is spoken it accomplishes things.  It is powerful, true and trustworthy. God’s word is one thing that will never change and can always be depended on.  So, how important is it to read and study the Bible? It is very important! Reading God’s word will draw us closer to our Lord. It will strengthen us for our daily lives and cause us to…

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.

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…
