When I was a young college student in my first preaching class I remember the professor describing the various kinds of messages. Among the many styles of messages, he listed the simple, personal testimony as a legitimate message. This Sunday my wife Sue and I will share our personal testimonies of how God saved us and directed our lives over the last 5 decades. I often share parts of my faith journey in my messages from week to week, but I hope to share my faith journey in a very clear and concise way this Sunday. You will be especially blessed as you hear from Sue about her faith journey – most of which I’m sure will be new for you. I suspect that some of you will relate to Sue’s story in ways that you are not expecting.  You will find as we share on Sunday that Sue and I came from extremely different backgrounds and because of that we are wired very differently. As our two stories merge together into the life we have shared the last 35 years you will see that it is through those differences that God has used us to help each other become more of what God wants us to be. I am very pleased to share this Sunday’s message with Sue and I pray God will make our stories of God’s Grace a blessing for you.

ALSO – We are baptizing 3 people in the Ocean after our Beach Church service. Please plan to stay for 10 minutes after the service to witness these baptisms.
