Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!!! Summertime, Summertime, Sum Sum Summertime… and Summertime ‘round here means it’s CAMP TIME! We were so happy to have our District Youth Directors, Terry & Jessica Hatcher and their family, and members of The Barnabas Team with us in church on Sunday! These faithful servants of God, as well as our own Pastor Vicki and several of our “littles” (a future Barnabas Team) have been working hard at our District campgrounds, prepping for camp- Thanks y’all, and God bless you!!
This Sunday, Pastor Cheek started out preaching from Romans 4:16, 20-21…He preached about Abram, and the promise from God that he would become the father of many nations- Genesis 12:2 is where the account was recorded, and began to unfold in Abram’s life. That initial promise and the ultimate fulfilling of it, would take Abram and his family on a journey and through experiences that his mind probably never could have imagined - and so it is with us. Through the experience of Abram, who we know as Abraham later on, Pastor made us realize that all of us at some point(s) in our life, face the testing of our faith…and sometimes even a lack of faith. The encounters on the journey to our fulfilled promise are not predictable- which is why we walk by faith, and not by sight. Our limited sight and understanding of things that lay ahead of us, we would not be able to handle properly. Pastor said he (very uncharacteristically) did not officially title this message- but, if he had, it would have been
"Conquer Domination"
When the enemy tries to hold us hostage with fear, unbelief, or some frightful thing which tries to dominate, intimidate, or even try to make us believe that it will obliterate us, let us remember that we are made more than conquerors
through HIM who loves us!
Will some of us ever learn, to trust God to carry, to manage, to solve, everything we will eventually encounter in life? His protection is enough, as is His power…as is His grace.

Our hearts and love go out to all our fellow Texans who were devastated by the Hill Country flash floods over the weekend. Let us pray for their comfort in the days and weeks to come.
