After seeing another report about a historic church burning down, I did some research this morning. Between 2020 and 2026 in these United States, there have been at least 81 incidents of churches burning down due to confirmed or suspected arson. I honestly expected the number to be higher, and I do expect these numbers to rise, but 81 is 81 too many.
Many today spend hours discoursing about who our real enemy is. The truth is that we are surrounded on all sides, yet we still advance under the banner of our risen King and our victory is secure. Go to church, saints.

The Church will not be gathering this Sunday (September 6th, 2026) as many of our members plan to attend the memorial service and visitation for Mark R. Fowler of Bettendorf Iowa on Sunday afternoon.

Mark R. Fowler, 58, of Bettendorf, Iowa, passed away Sunday, August 23, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family at home.

He was given about 26 months at the time of his diagnosis. Instead, Mark battled stage IV colon cancer for ten years and surprised the doctors and everyone by being funny and making it easy on us right up to the end.

Services to celebrate Mark’s life will be held Sunday, September 6, at The Outing Club, Davenport, beginning with a memorial service at 1:00 p.m. The family will continue to greet friends from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Admittedly, Mark did not want a “big to-do,” but family and friends gathering together to share stories, laughter, and refreshments will have to be the compromise for a man so deeply loved and thought of by so many.

Divine Callings: From the Burning Bush to Your Everyday Life ✨
Have you ever wondered how God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things? In our latest sermon, we dive deep into the life of Moses and his encounter at the burning bush.
Just like Moses—who felt underqualified, hesitant, and entirely unprepared—God meets us right where we are. His call isn't reserved for a select few; it’s an invitation extended to every single one of us.
Whether you are currently navigating a brand-new season of purpose, looking back at a calling you experienced years ago, or wondering if God still speaks to everyday people today, this message is for you.

Christianity differs from all other major religions primarily through its foundational concept of grace versus works.

The Core Difference:
Grace vs. Earned MeritGrace over works: Most religions are "do" systems. You must perform rituals, accumulate good karma, follow strict laws, or achieve enlightenment to earn salvation or a better afterlife.
A free gift: Christianity teaches that humanity cannot earn its way to God because no one is perfect. Salvation is treated as a free gift ("grace") given by God, not something earned through personal merit.
The rescue mission: Instead of humans working to reach up to God, Christianity teaches that God reached down to humans by becoming man (Jesus Christ) to solve the problem of sin.
Unique Theological DistinctivesThe Incarnation: God became fully human in Jesus while remaining fully God, experiencing human life, suffering, and death.
The Resurrection: The entire faith hinges on a historically verifiable claim: Jesus physically rose from the dead, defeating death for his followers.
The Trinity: God exists eternally as one divine essence in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Persona of God: God is viewed as a personal, loving Father with whom individuals can have an immediate, intimate relationship, rather than an impersonal cosmic force or a distant, untouchable deity.

Like the fowl of the air gathering before a long migration, the Church is called not merely to attend, but to assemble. Faith was never meant to be a lonely flight. We gather to strengthen one another, to be formed in unity, and to move together with God’s purpose. When believers rise as one Body in Christ, what once seemed scattered becomes a beautiful witness of harmony, mission, and hope.

Hebrews 10:24–25 — “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
