Morningside Community Church

On this Memorial Day we remember all of the men and women who have died fighting for our country, as well as, all of those who have fought and are still fighting.

We honor them for their courage, their servanthood, their dedication and their love for this great country!

For those of you who have served your country in the Armed Forces, we thank you!   Our hearts go out to you and your families!

To those who are currently enlisted and those overseas, we lift our prayers to our Heavenly Father, Who is watching over each one of you, wherever you may be.   We pray that He would give you strength in the inner man, that He would give you peace and comfort in the midst of battle, and that He would bring you home safely!   We love you all and thank you for your sacrifice!… Read the rest of this entry »

Week eleven in Pastor Joe’s 11-part series about PROBLEMS.

We all get lonely sometimes.   For many of us that may even be while we are surrounded by other people.   Loneliness is not a physical state of being (such as, being alone in a room)…it is the feeling of sadness that comes when we don’t feel “connected” to others.

This feeling of loneliness can be an overwhelming force for some people, crushing us underneath its weight.   For others it can feel more subtle and we dismiss its pain until it gradually  grows  big enough  we can no longer ignore it…like  the slow burn of the sun on our skin on a sunny day.   We sit or play out in the sun and don’t realize what it’s warm rays are doing to our flesh until, hours later, we come inside and see a red burn slowly appear… Read the rest of this entry »

Next week  Pastor Joe wraps up  his PROBLEM series by discussing a subject  we  all face at some point…LONELINESS!   Be sure to check it out!… Read the rest of this entry »

Week ten in Pastor Joe’s 11-part series about PROBLEMS.

Everyone gets discouraged…   Things didn’t go as we hoped they could.   People don’t treat us the way we  wish they would.   We don’t act the way we know we should.   Life happens to everyone and everyone…sooner or later…gets discouraged.

In this message Pastor Joe points out through scripture that to have feelings of DISCOURAGEMENT (like it’s older cousin Depression) is not a sin, but they do get our focus off of the Truth and God and can eventually cause more serious problems.   Pastor Joe not only shows us how to recognize some  causes of discouragement, but also teaches us some cures for discouragement!… Read the rest of this entry »

Are you tired of stress and tension in your marriage because of finances?   Do you have hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of debt?   Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck…always having too  much month at the end of the money?!

Or maybe you’re a college student who is already feeling the weight of student loans and credit card debt…and you haven’t even started a family yet!

There is hope!… Read the rest of this entry »
