Growing in Grace and Knowledge...


July in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky! Welcome family and friends! 

Our annual Tuesday Summer Series is going very well.  And what a challenge these “Portraits of Faith” are to every one of us!  Noah was challenged to obey God.  He did even though it took him 100 years to do it.  Abraham was challenged to trust God.  He did even though he was 100 years of age when Isaac came along.  Moses was challenged to be patient.  He was even though his mission to deliver Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land took 40 extra years.  Joseph was challenged to be humble.  He was even though he was sold into slavery, mistreated, imprisoned, and forgotten for 22 years.  Esther was challenged to be wise.  She was even though she had to risk her own life for her people.  On Tuesday (12th) Brother Chad Landman from the Graymere Church of Christ in Columbia, Tennessee will be with us to show us how Ruth was challenged to be strong in the midst of the trials of life.  I hope you will make plans to be here for this great lesson from God’s word.  May we all decide to grow in our faith!  Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  The more of God’s word we read, study, hear, and reflect on the strong our faith will be.  Psalm 1 teaches us that when we delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night, we will prosper in all that we do.  How about it?  Come and hear and see!


The Watterson Trail congregation meets for worship on Sunday morning at 10:30 and again on Sunday afternoon at 1:30.  We meet in smaller age-appropriate sessions for Bible study on Sunday morning at 9:30.  Currently we are in the midst of our Tuesday Summer Series from June through August.  Beginning in September through May we will meet every Wednesday at 7:00 for Bible study. 

Someone might ask; “Why so many meetings?”  The answer is simple. Jesus said it best.  “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”  He is our treasure.  His word is our guide.  His kingdom and His righteousness are our priority.  Where He leads we follow happily, securely, and with all the confidence in the world.
