OUR BELIEFS
Our church is served by a board of elders and deacons, and is theologically built upon strong reformed principals.
OUR STORY
In 1856, the First Presbyterian Church began to serve God in the community of Montezuma.
9:30AM WORSHIP—
We exist to glorify God at First Presbyterian Evangelical Church (FPEC). Join us as the scriptures are opened each Sunday morning and the infallible Word of God is preached with a full children’s program during service. Praise and worship include a mix of hymns and newer songs.
THIS IS US—
We are a simple church with a simple message:
Know Jesus and Make Jesus Known!
It is Saturday night: a great time to begin preparing your heart of the gathering of God’s people in worship tomorrow morning!
Here is the outline for the sermon that follows our time worship in song, prayer, and children’s sermon.
THE PURE IN HEART
Matthew 5:8
David: a man after God’s own heart. I Samuel 13:13-14; 16:7
God is looking for pure hearts II Chronicles 14:11-12; 15:1-2; 16:7-9
The lack of a pure heart sidelines one’s relationship with God and with God’s people. James 4:1-12
Only Jesus Christ can give you a pure heart I Corinthians 1:27-31
Who can say, “I have made my heart pure; I am clean from my sin”? Proverbs 20:9 (ESV)
Can a person be restored to purity after he or she has sinned against God?
II Samuel 12:13-14; Psalm 51; I John 1:5-10
• What does God see when he looks into your heart?
• When you face threats or seasons of confusion as to how you should react, who determines your first response?
A pure heart can only be kept pure as you keep your eyes upon Jesus! Hebrews 12:1-3
