Guest Post, Ptr. Vernell Ingle | The Ordinances of Fellowship

Last updated on: September 30, 2023 at 12:57 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

The Ordinances of Fellowship Acts 2.42-47 In this passage we have a snapshot of what the church should look like. It serves as a pattern and outline for the life of the local church. The Church represents the community of God on earth. The Church is not an organization as much as it is a living organism. We are members of the Body of Christ. The church is pictured here as a group of believers who are not only involved in... Read more

Thoughtful Unrelated Sayings

Last updated on: September 23, 2023 at 10:00 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

This is simply a collection of thoughtful, unrelated sayings, but then again, so is Proverbs. I was talking with a church leader who was asking me about my marital situation. There’s a real anxiety that this could turn out bad. Almost like a declaration he confidently stated: “God is still God over divorce. It’s not His 1st choice, but He is still Sovereign.” I am moving up the road. My General Manager is trying to get me transferred to our... Read more

Wednesday Through Sunday

Last updated on: September 21, 2023 at 11:53 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Wednesday Through Sunday Night breaks upon us. Sometimes fatigue at the end of the day can be mistaken for weariness. One has to make a distinction between the two. One is the common reward of a hard day’s work. The latter is a condition of the soul. I have generally felt fatigue between Wednesdays and Sundays. Thursday through Saturday seems like a long stretch of time with a lot of work. If I become weary and weakened in the fight,... Read more

A Word on Hope From a Surprising Source

Last updated on: September 14, 2023 at 1:56 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

A Word on Hope From a Surprising Source Recently, I was in a discussion with a Supervisor at work about current work opportunities, professional development, and advancement. I normally count it an honor to speak to a Supervisor candidly, and even more of an honor whenever one takes the time to share nuggets of wisdom. These people are busy. Every moment counts when they’re on the clock. However, the corporate culture must hold onto relationship-building as a core value, because... Read more

Take Delight | a Contemplative Word Study of Psalm 37.4

Last updated on: September 13, 2023 at 1:38 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Psalm 37.4, NLT Take delight To “Take delight” is not only a verb, the verbal tense is in the imperative. In other words, we are commanded to “Take delight…” What if we have no choice other than to delight ourselves in the Lord? Take delight is a primitive verb, meaning it’s a root word. It can mean to be soft or pliable. It’s generally an effeminate verb. It... Read more

Worship | Spirit Filled Community, pt. 8 Think about the history of worship in the last couple generations You may have heard about the hippie movement that started in the 1960’s. American music went through the Big Band Era in the 1930’s and 40’s [love it]. Rock and roll started in the 50’s as bands scaled down and guitars were used more. Then the 60’s came along and we’re still trying to figure out what happened. Music was changed radically, everything was. Have... Read more
