Rev. 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”  

In 1851, a British artist, William Hunt created a painting he titled “The Light of the World”. It has become one of the most recognizable religious paintings in modern history. He shows Christ   standing at the tightly closed door of a seemingly neglected cottage. Christ holds a lantern in one hand, and with His other hand He is knocking at the door to gain entrance. The most unique feature of the painting is that there is no handle on the outside of the door. For Christ to gain entrance to the cottage, the door would have to be opened from within.  The motivation for Hunt’s painting was Revelation 3:20, a verse capturing Christ’s words to the church at Laodicea. That Church had become lukewarm and apathetic, yet Christ    refused to force Himself into its midst.  He was standing patiently outside, waiting to be invited in. It is a perfect picture of Christ ‘s desire to gain entrance into the life of every person.  What is the benefit of opening the door to Christ?  

John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”

July was a busy month with the church being blessed with the ministries of Rev. Bob Leitton and Rev. Ryan Lewis. 

Then we celebrated our 30th anniversary with three services in which Rev. Dr.  Arvind D’Silva spoke. What a wonderful time of giving thanks to God and rehearsing what He has done in the past thirty years. It was a good time in service and in fellowship. We also honored our Pastor for the thirty years of service to the church. 

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this celebration great. 

PRISON: Sis. Haas writes they were able to connect  a Michigan inmate being released to  Cleveland, Ohio to a Christian residential  program with Teen & Adult Challenge of  Greater Cleveland. They were also able to link a Nevada prisoner to a Christian  men’s program in Las Vegas and free Christian counseling and a Louisiana inmate to a Christian residential program in his state.  

SOUTHEAST ASIA:  Bro. Taylor reports a strong presence of God in a recent mission trip to Southeast  Asia where God opened doors in Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Philippines.  Pastors were encouraged as they worshiped and studied the Word of God.  In a leadership conference, pastors and church leaders received training, fellowship and spiritual renewal. Many expressed a deep gratitude and eagerness for future training.
