“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.”

-Hebrews 10:25

Summer is here! For many of us, this means our scheduled routines may change a bit and hopefully we’ll be able to get away on vacation to someplace fun and enjoyable. As a pastor, one of things I really love doing is visiting other churches while I’m away from the best church around. I love to see how other churches do things differently. I love the variety of music, the new people and of course the message from the pastor. What I try to do whenever I attend another church is to bring back a bulletin or some other memento from that experience. If it’s a small enough church, I’ll get the pastor or one of the pastors to sign it for me! So…that’s my challenge to you, go to church if you’re away from Trinity on a Sunday and bring ME back a bulletin!

Summerly Yours,

Pastor Chris Yount

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”

Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!

Rejoicing in Hope,

Pastor Chris Yount

“Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will take care of itself, each day has enough trouble of its own.” Too often we ruin today’s joys by borrowing tomorrow’s possible troubles. Did you catch that? Tomorrow’s possible troubles. Maybe they’ll come, maybe they won’t. But all of our worrying will certainly not change anything, except maybe our blood pressure. The verse prior to this in Matthew chapter 6 says…” But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” So, there’s the key, seeking first the Kingdom of God, the will of God, the direction and desire of God will enable us to be released from the anxiety that seems so prevalent in our society today. Friend, leave tomorrow in God’s hands and concentrate on today! Peacefully Yours, Pastor Chris Yount
