Who needs church these days? We all do! We need to gather with our “family,” to feel the presence of God, to rely on God’s grace and guidance throughout our lives. A merciful God is waiting to bless us. Commerce Presbyterian Church has a warm, loving congregation committed to showing God’s love. It is true. We are a church where love is more than a just word. Wherever you are, whatever you’ve done, God loves you and so do we. There is a place for you at Commerce Presbyterian Church. Stop in and see! |
CPC supports Scouting
We were honored to be at the Crossover Ceremony for Cub Scout Pack 35 this evening. Look at the bridge they rebuilt for our church! I am proud to wear my Scout mother necklace. Our son Bo is an Eagle Scout, so we are very happy that CPC supports Scouting
First Update
This is our first update on the new website!
PRAYER UPDATE - Tyre Nichols of Memphis, Tennessee as news of his senseless and brutal death has come to light.
Once again, pray with me, Gracious God, in whose presence live all who die in the Lord, we lift up our prayers to You, the life of Tyre Nichols of Memphis, TN. Receive Tyre into Your merciful arms, and the joys of Your heavenly home – comfort his family as they mourn the loss of their beloved son. Forgive us of the disregard for humanity, the lack of care and concern for Tyre that was nowhere to be found on that night back in early January of this year, by all who responded to the incident. Lord, help us to eradicate the hate the we have for each other, that we break down the walls that divide us, our suspicions for each other disappear and we just learn to get along and live together in justice and peace. Now that our communities, cities and country remain in trouble Lord, be near to judge us and if we have turned away from You and Your way, help us to turn around and repent. Help us to stand in Your light and give us Your truth to show us the way. Lord, You deal with spirits that darken and overshadow our thoughts, words and deeds that set us against each other. Give peace to those who are torn by conflict of the mind; drive from our hearts the evil that shakes our confidence and brings violence against one another. Rid us of the unruly forces in us, and bring us to Your light and truth. Write Your blessed name upon our hearts, that no prosperity, no adversity, no division, shall ever move us from Your love. Be to us a strong tower of defense, a comforter in tribulation, a deliverer in distress, a very present help in trouble and a guide to heaven through the many temptations and dangers in this life. Heavenly Father, forgive us, for we do not know what we do. Hear our prayer in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who taught each of us to pray saying - Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever…AMEN

Words to Live By. January 25,2023
Hello friends,
You know, when we walk and stay in the presence of Almighty God, we receive everything we need – and really – He blankets us with more than we actually need because He is a generous God. God not only takes care of each of us, He provides for the entire world, His creation. Sure, it begins in the human heart, but it spreads out to have effect on leadership, schools, the economies, and so much more, to include the entire world. Listen to what King David says in Psalm 2, verse 8 –“Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth as your possession.”
But fast forward to the very last Book of the Bible – Revelation, the 22nd chapter – this reading points to a God who achieves His plan and His folks in every way. So, why is it that you and I fail to see more fulfillment – more plans than realized? Why don’t the plans that God has for us come to fruition on our lives as quickly or efficiently as you and I would like? God has promised that they will – but let me remind us, there is a purpose in the process between promise and fulfillment. When we approach God, He provides us everything we need and rounds-out our yearnings, maybe not right away, but over time – God’s time. And the reason there is God’s time is that it is designed to draw us closer to Him. You see friends, instant gratification, either personal, all together, or anything in-between may meet our needs and desires, but does absolutely nothing – nada, zip – for our relationship with God. When our desires and longings drive us toward God, this is the time our hearts lock on to God’s heart and we begin to learn and embrace His ways. Bottom line – we achieve a greater and more meaningful fulfillment than we, or anybody else, could ever imagine.
So, we need to trust God’s promises, but tack onto that, trust God’s processes. Folks, the delays in our lives are not coincidences, but are there to deepen and harden our relationship with Almighty God. God’s processes lead to fulfillment; God either gives us what we are looking for, shows that He is The One we are looking for, or so blankets us with better things that whatever else we were looking for is kicked to the curb. Regardless, our hearts are eventually surrendered and satisfied in Him.
This Sunday (29 JAN 23), our Old Testament Lesson will be from The Book of Psalms, the 15th psalm and our New Testament Lesson will continue in The Gospel According to Matthew, the 5th chapter, verses 1 - 12. I will proclaim God’s Word in my sermon entitled – “His truth is – true happiness is to be found only in Jesus Christ.”
Our 11:00 A.M. Service of Worship is broadcast on the Official Commerce Presbyterian Website at www.commercepresbyterian.com, or if you would like to view the service at a later
time, go to YouTube and search Commerce Presbyterian Church.
And one more thing: The next time we are in conversation with God, let’s make sure we ask Him to overwhelm us, so that we feel no guilt in asking such and that we draw closer to Him and satisfy our hearts at the same time.
I so much look forward to seeing each of you on Sunday and while you are at it, ask a family member or friend to be our guest and sit with you and see Jesus Christ at work in the hearts and minds of the CPC flock; I look forward to seeing them too. And for those of you Live-Streaming, we would love to see you in person. As the Holy Spirit moves you and you feel comfortable enough, please come join us for our in-person worship. CPC is just Good, Basic, Church – Godly, Biblical, Christian.
I’ll see you in church – ALELLUIA and all God’s children say, AMEN!
