From Robert McKethan: I often think about my earthly inheritance…contemplating what I inherited from my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. I also contemplate my inheritance from Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve’s failure to obey God guaranteed that I (and the rest of mankind) received a sinful state. As I think about my circumstance, I fully realize that I am incapable of escaping the consequence of Adam and Eve’s choice to disobey God. Regardless of how ‘good’ I am, I am a sinner deserving eternal banishment from Heaven. Because of my inheritance, I am a sinner by omission and by commission. I sin by omission when I fail to follow expectations found in God’s Word...one of which is my failure to spend more time studying God’s Word. I am a sinner by commission since I do things that are contrary to God’s Word. Last week, I was very angry (in words and thought) when a motorist ran a red light as I was turning left at an intersection. You see, I am like the apostle Paul a

From Christy Smith: I recently visited my friend Kaity at her family farm. She has been welcoming lots of babies lately...baby cows!  There have been eight calves born in the last two weeks, with five more expected any day.  It was a blessing to see all the new life that God has created! Kaity's favorite cow is named Panda.  She is a black cow with a white face.  Panda's baby looks just like her, the only white-faced calf on the farm. Panda's calf was created to look just like her momma, and it's easy to identify her calf among the herd. The Bible tells us that we are created in God's image.  An image represents and reflects something or someone.   God created us to reflect who He is to all those we encounter.  We are to reflect God's love, kindness, compassion, and grace so that He alone will be known and glorified.  As Christians. we are to be easily identified among the "herd"...not because of who we are but because of who He is.  I

Posted by Robert McKethan: Recently, I heard part of the song, “Let Me Be There”. "Let Me Be There" was a popular song in 1973 written by John Rostilland was first recorded by Olivia Newton-John. I decided to check out all of the lyrics. Although “Let Me Be There” is a secular song, some of the lyrics reminds me of how I believe the Holy Spirit wants to be a part of our lives. The following is the first stanza of this song: Where ever you go, where ever you may wanderin your life Surely you know I always want to be there Holding your hand and standing by to catch you when you fall Seeing you thru in ev'rything you do Here are some connections that I made. First, I know that Jesus wants to be a part of our lives (Rev 3:20). When Jesus enters our lives, we receive the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit is our helper, teaches us all things (John 14:26), and when we listen, He prevents us from falling. When we do fall, the Holy Spirit picks us up, reass

We welcome you to our Worship Arts Blog, and invite you to worship with us this week!

Post by Robert McKethan: The Greenway Witnesses I am constantly reminded of the witness of service demonstrated by our Greenway family. For example, Ruth Ann Teague daily prays for 150 people and in those prayers, she lifts up these individuals by name! Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, she systematically visited those living in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Ruth Ann exemplifies the commitment to service in its many forms by the Greenway family. In addition to the church wide-ministries, our brothers and sisters serve by 1) sending notes, 2) making phone calls, 3) making and delivering meals, 4) taking folks to appointments, and 5) praying for one another. Often our service is known only to the recipient of that service. In our quasi isolation, we remain steadfast, enthused, determined, and active in whatever task our Father gives to us. Our service is a symbol to our commitment to serve our Lord. Our Greenway Mission is to Seek, Know and Serve God. Each of
