Every January we make resolutions, but the best resolution any believer can make is simply this: “This year I’m going to walk closer to Jesus than the year before.” Let’s be encouraged by these three ways to walk closer to the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6.  Pastor Robb Williams

The four weeks preceding Christmas (referred to as Advent) is a time of preparation and anticipation for the coming of Jesus. So ... let's do it. Let's have as much fun as usual this holiday season, but let's also make sure we are well prepared to celebrate the coming of Jesus with all the respect it deserves.

Chuck (and Kasey) have been a wonderful contribution to the ministry of Abundant Life. They came to us from Oklahoma just about one year ago. Chuck effortlessly leads a men's group and hosts our Sunday services. Whether you are in the later years of life of just beginning, there is always plenty of time to better acquaint ourselves with God's purposes.

Advent (which means coming) is a four-week period of celebration and remembrance leading up to Christmas. The four themes of Advent (signified by the lighting of candles) are hope, peace, love, and joy. 

In the midst of gift giving, glitter, and overeating, let's use this season to prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus' first coming and for the preparation of our hearts for Jesus' imminent second coming.

29 August 2024 Many thanks to our missionaries to Poland. Rarely do we have the Greens "in the house". Enjoy this update on their ministry as well as Mike's challenging words on the Old Testament word for grace, "hessed".

11 August 2024 What a great day this was! The morning was full of young people collecting the offering (not the way they had hoped), six youth baptisms, special music and student led worship. Our students had a wonderful summer rebuilding our youth ministry... and yet our greatest days are ahead! 

26 May 2024 Grant is a 26 year old teacher for the sight impaired and will share his personal journey from sight to blindness. Even though his gradual loss of physical sight (which happened between the ages of 7-14), his vision for life's contentment has become crystal clear. Based on Philippians 4:10-13 Grant will encourage us to live fully content in our relationship with Jesus regardless of life's circumstances. 

2 June 2024 Jesse and Debbie have been a consistent source of support and encouragement to Abundant Life over the years. It is always a joy to hear from the Boggs' as they encourage us from God's Word.

31 December 2024. Starting off the new year with a fresh and renewed focus on Bible meditation will bring us all closer to the Lord.  Of all the wonderful disciplines of the Christian life, Mary and Martha taught us what is most important.  Enjoy this single sermon to keep us clearly directed on "that which is better". Pastor Robb Williams
