On May 25th, 2008 I had the opportunity to preach at The Ayore Church in Morrill, KS. Ayore is a church that we've had a relationship with for about six years. In that time we've filled the pulpit, preached at a Bible and missions conference, and helped with two of their annual church camps. The church itself is located in Morrill, KS which is a rural community about forty miles west of St. Joseph, MO.
I preached from Matthew 22 and Jesus' teaching on the Greatest Commandment. One of the greatest aspects and signs of the Christian life of both individuals and churches is the presence and activity of sacrificial love. It might even be that many churches that we visit would claim that I preach on the subject too often. While sacrificial love is the most important aspect of our lives and service to the Lord and our communities, it is also the greatest way that most believers and churches fail!
We've been preaching at Ayore frequently of the past few months as they are without a pastor. The encouraging news is that they have a pastoral candidate visiting in a few weeks. Please remember both the Ayore Church and their pastoral search committee in your prayers as they seek to find the man that the Lord has for them!
