“Above allegiance to any government or any state, my first allegiance is to the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of my heart, and the Lord of my conscience. What is right in my country, what is right in my government, I am duty bound to support. But what is wrong in my country and what is wrong in my government, I am duty bound to oppose; for Jesus is the Lord of our life, the Lord of our conscience, and the King of our land.”
— W.A. Criswell
@championforest@jarrettstephens We can have all the knowledge of God’s Word and others may still not see Christ in us if we don’t live what we know. One does not need to be a Theologian to know, live and share Christ.
Pastor @jarrettstephens preached an incredible message today on the sanctity of life. If you missed it, you can hear it at https://t.co/ZBKx3H7BPS once it’s posted.
So proud of employee John Hagarty. He graduated from Expositor’s Seminary today. John has been steadfast in his service to CO+OP and in studying for his Masters.
So thankful for the opportunity to teach at the Christian Leadership Alliance Conference last week in Louisville. I always come away from teaching feeling like I learned more than my students. #grateful. #Outcomes2022
Take a moment and listen to this hymn of praise before going to bed tonight. One of the many reasons I love this church and was so honored to be called their pastor.

Come on, somebody! But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 Don’t Give The Enemy a Seat At Your Table // p. 149 #NoSeat
"The greatest leaders in history are those who were able to cut through the temptation to make their lives only about themselves and begin to fight for something outside and enduring."
