Sooo, you think hollow words and pale religiosity will re-establish your connection with God; best think again my friends!!! Join with us as Pastor John gets personal & candid regarding the what, why & extremely serious consequences of breaking covenant with God. Spoiler alert: the responsibility is ours, and God “is not” impressed with mere words – He wants true and genuine repentance …from the heart. 
 
*This memorable message was drawn from Jeremiah 14 – 15:9 and begins promptly as the 31 minute / 12 second mark. This stunning and memorable message was a heartfelt call to true repentance; exactly the type of sermon I wished more preachers would deliver.

Three Minute “SERMON WITHIN A SERMON”: 
One of the many beautiful attributes of Longbranch Community Church is that our pastors “do not” shy away from the truth. We declare God’s truth with boldness – and absolute confidence. In this three minute “Sermon Within a Sermon” Pastor John makes plain the fact that continuing in unrepentant sin is sheer folly; we may think we can get away with it – but God thinks differently – and he is Lord and King. 
 
*What a joy to hear this biblical truth spoken with absolute clarity …& confident assurance.

Today, well today… we feasted! Beautiful piano by Ms. Laura, gentle guitar by Mr. Oliver, a wonderful Gideon’s presentation given by Mr. Bill McKinney. Pastor John topped it all off with a sermon straight out of God’s Word (as per usual) on Jeremiah’s wrestling with God’s justice titled: “Like a Lamb to the Slaughter”. 
 
Excuse me for editorializing, but I couldn’t help but be reminded of powerful words delivered by the towering pastors of yesteryear’s great awakening. Truly.., today was a wonderful day to be worshiping in one of the oldest and last remaining Pioneer Churches in the entire region: Longbranch Community Church. 
 
*For those in a hurry, today’s Gideons presentation starts @ 22/13 and Pastor Johns masterful sermon begins @ 44minutes/22sconds.

"Like a Lamb to the Slaughter", (Jeremiah 11:18 - 12:6), 2022-09-18, Longbranch Community Church

Join with us as Pastor John delivers yet another remarkably old fashioned sermon delving into the excruciating details of Israel’s “Broken Covenant” with God. Taken from Jeremiah 11:1-17 & 12:7-17, John uses the marital relationship as an illustration. In addition to a sermon right out of yesteryear’s straight forward approach to biblical teaching, we tremendously enjoyed the bluegrass flavor of today’s worship music. Sadly though, today we say a temporary & seasonal good bye to SkipperDude & Babette who will be traveling back to Louisiana to spend quality time with their kids and grands. 
 
As per usual, we welcomed new visitors and enjoyed a tremendous time of fellowship after church.

So… the question is: Does God’s mercy and grace spring from a never ending well, or, could there come a time when his (seemingly endless) grace & mercy are removed? Has he ever, or could he now, come to a place where he simply and finally says “enough is enough”? Listen in …and decide for yourself. 
 
Join with our Longbranch Community Church family as Pastor John continues our verse-by-verse trek through the Book of Jeremiah. This message may come as a shock to some and is drawn directly from Jeremiah 7:15 – 8:3. Additionally, how bout that little-bit piano player? She aint real tall, but trust me: she’s looong on talent! Thank you Carol R for stepping up to bat this week; your gentle style brought many to tears of joyful appreciation – self included!

"Enough is Enough", (Jer 7:15 - 8:3), 2022-08-07, Longbranch Community Church

There is no doubt – whatsoever – that there are some sermons that are far easier to preach than others. This may well be one of those sermons. On the other hand, it is exactly these sermons that separate the men from the boys. Join with us as Pastor John unpacks Jeremiah 4: 5-31 dealing with God’s vengeful wrath and certain judgment at a time and towards an unrepentant populace who were not at all that different from us today. 
 
This… is exactly why we at Longbranch Community Church are convinced we have a true man of God in the pulpit. This pastor does not back down, shy away, ignore or downplay “any” part of the bible. He preaches the entirety of God’s Word with clarity, confidence and charisma. 
 
Ms. Barbara’s music was beautiful - as always - and the pews are definitely filling up. Apparently, there must be something to the combination of yesteryears powerful preaching and traditional hymns. 
 
*Today’s service begins at 3/58, and John’s powerful, hard hitting message starts promptly @29minutes / 26 seconds.

"Rush of Judgment", (Jeremiah 4:5-31), 2022-06-12, Longbranch Community Church

For the first time in memory, Pastor John Day of Longbranch Community Church elected to give a Thanksgiving themed message titled “R & R”. Brother John pointed out that clearly: God does indeed love a good feast and encouraged us all regularly – and with intention - to “Remember …and Rejoice!” 
 
Today’s message was taken directly from the Book of Deuteronomy 16: 1-17, and the video message begins promptly at the 28min/38sec mark. As per usual, John’s message was beautifully wrapped By Ms. Barbara’s stellar piano skills and tied with the warm bonds of kinship Longbranch Community Church is so well known for. 
 
*Please don’t forget we have several Christmas themed events soon approaching: #1) a bluegrass themed Christmas Carol event on the 19th & our annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on the 24th. If you haven’t already made plans, we’d love to share the true meaning and purpose of Christmas with you!
