We had another very successful gospel meeting this year. Our song leader, Ray Walker from Goodlettsville, TN did an excellent job in leading the singing. David Shannon, the preacher at Mt. Juliet Church of Christ in Mt. Juliet, TN did an exceptional job of bringing God’s Word to all who attended.
The theme David Shannon spoke on throughout the meeting is The Beauty and Power of Love. The titles of each lesson delivered during the meeting are listed below.
- “The Power of Kindness”
- “Where Does God Rank Love?”
- “Compassion Makes the Difference”
- “40 Reasons People Don’t Like You”
- “30 + 1 Reasons People Do Like You”
- “God’s Saving Love: Are You Saved?”
Along with being able to listen to the sermons here on our website, they are available in audio CD format as well. Please contact our church office if you would like to have a copy of these. During the 40 Reasons People Don’t Like You and 30+1 Reasons People Do Like You, he referenced many scriptures in power point format. If you would like those scriptures and comments in print form, please request those as well.
The marks of the first Spirit-filled community are all concerned with the church’s relationships. The challenge for each of us this year is that we become more like these first Christians by; Submitting ourselves to the teaching and authority of God’s Word, Loving one another, even as our Lord has loved us (John 13:34)

In his Parable of the Sower, Jesus addressed some reasons as to why we do not finish:
a. For some, it is affliction or persecution which drives them off course.
b. For others, it is the distractions and cares of this world which cause them to abandon the race.
Only by putting things in proper perspective can we finish our course (Acts 20:24)
When we walk with Jesus (the Light) . . .
a. We are delivered from fear.
b. Liberated from doubt.
c. Possess a joy which no one may take from us.
Jesus’ challenge is that we “believe in the Light” (Him).
Over the last few days leading up to yesterday, Christmas Day, and perhaps even in the days to come, many of us have received or will receive gifts. They come…
Are you a person who is sick and tired of sin in your life — the lies, the despair, the guilt and hurt? Do you want to live a transformed life with a renewed mind and true purpose? Perhaps you are a Christian, but you have been living a lie, and you are tired of it. You want to be real. You want to live a zealous, productive and blessed life as someone who has been saved from his or her sins. What should you do?
Each of us makes a choice to either to fulfill God’s purpose in our lives or to completely abandon that purpose and plot our own course.
Heaven will surely be worth all the affliction and hardship you experience here while serving our Lord. If you haven’t submitted your life to Him in obedient faith, why not do so today?
You and I as God’s people do not need a proclamation or a special day in the year in which to express our gratitude to the One who is sovereign over all creation. It is something which we can and should do every day of the year.
