To join the team please mark your connection card or call the church office at (928) 772-7218.
Here’s a philosophical question for you - is it ever ok for a Christian to be proud? Seems like a simple answer would suffice. God does say in His word…

“… Pride and arrogance and the way of evil… I hate.” ~ Proverbs 8:13 (ESV) ~ Seems simple, right? Don’t be prideful - God hates that! Yet in 2 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul shares that it would be ok for the believers in Corinth to take pride in his work (2 Cor 5:12), and he told them that he had pride in these believers as well (2 Cor 7:24). Maybe there is a proper way to show pride after all! In the passage at the top of the page, Paul is showing pride for the church in Macedonia. Why? They had gone above and beyond in generosity to support other believers whose church was hurting. They did this through their financial support.

This week, I want you to know church, that I am proud of you. There are so many reasons I make that statement, but I want to focus on one - and it is very similar to the reason for Paul’s pride in the Macedonian church. For two years now, you have been serving as the sponsoring church for the replant of First Southern Baptist Church of Cordes Lakes. That has meant a commitment to sending support. You have supported by showing up, encouraging and helping. Pastor Gary preached for an extended time early on. Jack and Cathy have been helping with youth for awhile now. The ladies in the office have been very busy gearing up for the major transition to overseeing the administrative functions—and you have been faithful all the while to give.
