Pastor’s Update

Dear friend of Pine Mountain Christian Community Church,

Wouldn’t it be great to say the right thing and do the right thing in every circumstance? There is only one person in all of history who said the right thing and did the right thing in every circumstance, and that was Jesus. That’s because He is the only one in all of history who was truly righteous. He not only said the right thing and did the right thing, He also thought the right thing in every circumstance. And actually, saying the right thing and doing the right thing must begin with thinking the right thing. Jesus was righteous because He came from heaven and was without sin. The good news is that if we turn form going our own way, Jesus will actually take away our sin and give us His righteousness! And then He will give us His Holy Spirit that will enable us to think, say, and do the right thing in every situation. This Sunday, January 18th, we will watch Jesus as He comes to the Jordan river, to be baptized by John the Baptist, in order to fulfill all righteousness. I pray you will be able to join us for a great time of worship and fellowship.
