Just a couple weeks ago, I watched the recording of a sister church’s service that left me both perplexed and disappointed. The pastor spoke that morning on the doctrine of Christian baptism, focusing on the necessity of the ordinance as a step of obedience. As he continued Continue reading

Every single day of my life, I am humbled by 3 things: The grace of Christ that I could never merit, the blessing of my wife and children in whom I see the smile of God, and the privilege I have been given to shepherd Morningview Baptist Church. I truly love our church. I love you because you are sources of wisdom and encouragement Continue reading

Early in my Christian life I heard someone say, “The Bible was not given to increase your knowledge but to guide your conduct.” Later I came to realize that this statement was simplistic at best and erroneous at worst.

We have a new four-week course designed for children who are interested in knowing what it means to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. All curious children are invited! Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Luke 18:16). This class is especially designed for children who think they have already come to faith in Christ and who are interested in seeking baptism and church membership. It will help them come to a biblically grounded assurance of salvation. The Journey of Faith class is prerequisite to any child’s baptism and membership, just as the New Beginnings membership class is prerequisite for adult baptism and membership. We’re also asking that one parent attend the class with the child, preferably the child’s father. Please register for the course by calling the church office at 272-2304 by July 31.
Journey of Faith Schedule: Sunday Evenings 5:00 – 6:00 pm
Sunday, August 9 – The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Sunday, August 16 – The Christian Life
Sunday, August 23 – Assurance of Salvation
