A Message from Pastor Tom ………

“Thomas said to Jesus, ‘My Lord and my God!’” (John 20:28)
You know what Thomas’s nickname was, don’t you? Doubting Thomas, because he doubted that Jesus had come back from the dead, as the other disciples had reported.
I guess Thomas deserved his nickname, but only for one week. That’s when Jesus showed himself to Thomas, and Thomas exclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). He’s the first person in the Bible to call Jesus “God.”
From this point on, he became believing Thomas. Church history tells us he went toIndia as a missionary and died as a martyr for Christ in a shower of arrows.
The name Thomas means “Twin.” I think of him as my twin, because I so easily doubt Jesus, too. Maybe you feel the same way.
Here on Easter Sunday let’s be the twin of believing Thomas. Let’s make our faith personal as we worship our Lord and our God—the risen Christ!

Welcome to the Pastor’s Corner – Jesus is Better than Santa
Posted on 29. Sep, 2010 by admin in General News, Pastor's Corner
Something for you to share with your family and friends at Christmas time!Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole. JESUS is everywhere Santa rides in a sleigh JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water. Santa comes but once a year JESUS is an ever-present help. Santa fills your stockings with goodies JESUS supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited JESUS stands at your door and knocks…and then enters your heart. Santa makes you stand in line to see him JESUS is as close as the mention of his name. Santa lets you sit on his lap JESUS lets you rest in his arms. Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi little boy or girl, What’s your name?” JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does he know our name, he knows our address too. He knows our history and future and he even knows how many hairs are on our heads. JESUS has a heart full of love. JESUS offers health, help and hope. Santa says “You better not cry” JESUS says “Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.” Santa’s little helpers make toys JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. Santa may make you chuckle, but JESUS gives you joy that is your strength. While Santa puts gifts under your tree, JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. It’s obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in Christmas.Jesus is still the reason for the season!
