A Note From OUR Pastor
Bruce G. Chesser

Thank you to every person who made VBS 2026 such a great week. Michelle Gilmore and Ligon Troutt did a wonderful job leading the team. Thank you to all the teachers, assistants, and volunteers who did countless other duties: the security team, the ministry team, the media team, the communications team, and the worship leaders. 750 people volunteered to make VBS happen this year! And, of course, thank you to the parents/grandparents who sent their children. The entire focus of the week is introducing children to Jesus and seeing them take a step toward Him and His plan for their lives. There is nothing more important than that. It was a tremendous week. Thank you, Lord, for blessing us so richly!

This morning, we will study Matthew 4:18-25. In this section of Scripture, we will find both a parable and a miracle.

Thank you for being here this morning. I pray that the Lord will bless us greatly!

Sunday Connect
From Senior Associate Pastor, Bruce RaleY

In 1944, our church was established to impact the community of Hendersonville, with a population of about 1,700. From our beginning, we have been a Southern Baptist congregation. Today, we are the leading SBC church in Tennessee in mission giving.

The Southern Baptist Convention’s national gathering will be in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday and Wednesday. It will be preceded by a Pastor’s Conference that begins this evening and continues tomorrow.

The annual gathering usually gets a lot of press, much of it not so accurate. In reality, the gathering is a great celebration of God’s work over the past year. We will hear reports from our mission agencies, which have on-the-field missionaries in over 155 countries. We will hear how Southern Baptists have ministered in places where disasters occurred. We will hear how our six seminaries are training over 24,000 students. And so much more.

Much can be accomplished when churches serve together for the cause of Jesus.

It is a joy to serve you.

Bruce Raley
