A Busy Couple of Weeks

The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy, and there's no sign of slowing down.With our move and ministry transition, there's been a lot to accomplish around the house and to figure out at church. This week I also have a funeral to officiate (on Tuesday), so I've really "hit the ground running" at Ensley Baptist Church.

We do have much to be thankful for, as we have received a very warm reception, and even a fully stocked pantry.

In the midst of the busyness - whether it's our busyness, or the busyness of the holidays, here are a few Bible passages that I hope will be an encouragement to you. Above all, please remember that God is with us!


All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us). (Mat 1:22-23 ESV)
 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Cor. 13:11 ESV)
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. (2 Thes. 2:16-17 ESV)


In His grip,

Pastor Decker
