14knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.

15For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God

Posted in Sermon, Misc. on Mar 16th, 2008 No Comments »

Ephesians 4:32

Heaton_Web.jpgBe kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

This week we had a guest speaker. Mr. Walter Heaton is a missionary in Croatia. Walter graduated from The Master’s Seminary in 1998. He and his family were invited to Croatia that same year. The Heatons are partnering with three other GMI missionary families (the Horvateks, the Dicks, and the Bracketts). These four are all involved in church planting and leadership development, both inside and outside the borders of Croatia.
