A Note From Pastor Cowser

“God’s Pulling and Nudging”

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

-Philippians 3:14-

It is hard for me to believe that this week marks the beginning of my 10th year of pastoral ministry. I remember the anxiety that I felt the very first time I stood in the pulpit, but I also remember the joy that came from proclaiming God’s Word. Interestingly, these are emotions that I still experience to this day. I have come to realize that the call of God is a beautiful blessing, but also a tremendous responsibility. Through these years, I am most grateful for God’s grace that has sustained me and allowed me the privilege to walk alongside people in their moments of celebration, but also moments of sorrow.

People often ask me about my call into the ministry and I always point back to the times I “played church” with my grandmother and cousins in the front yard as a young boy. Although I could not fully explain it then, I felt something powerful pulling and nudging me. At the beginning of this new year, my prayer is that God will keep pulling and nudging me as I press toward the mark. I have grown a lot since this first picture from my very first appointment in 2011, but I look forward to what God has in store for me. #graceupongrace

Grateful To Be Your Pastor,
Pastor Cowser

What’s Happening at CG 1/6/2020

What’s Happening at CG?

A Note From Our Associate Pastor:

Rev. Ruth J. Smith

He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

Ezekiel 37:3

This past Sunday I listened to Pastor Waymond Smith preach a sermon on this chapter and I thought to myself “what an on-time message for this past year and also this year – 2021. January last year we were warned of this coming pandemic, but the “powers that be” downplayed it. After citizens started to become very ill and were losing their lives, we were told it was true; therefore, causing us to be behind the curveball. All of a sudden, businesses were shutting down; we were told to stay home; vacations and business trips came to a sudden halt. People were now finding themselves out of work; losing businesses, and on top of that our black males were losing their lives daily to police shootings. Racism and hatred were running rapidly in the hearts of men, women, and children.

Looking at the television and reading social media provided nothing but gloom and doom. Because of this many people lost their faith; their hope; their peace; their joy and fell into a state of deep despair feeling there was no way out. Many of them were asking this same question: can these dry bones live again. To contemporize it – will we be able to recover from this; and where is God in all of this?

When God asked Ezekiel “can these bones live,” Ezekiel replied, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” He was right! Just as God knew then – He knows now. God told Ezekiel to prophesy to these bones and say to them “Dry bones; hear the word of the Lord. God spoke to those dry bones and told them that He would make breath enter them and they will come back to life again. Today, prophesy to the dry bones in your life – be it finances, health problems, marital problems; joblessness, homelessness – whatever it is, speak life into your situations. Pastor Donald Smith taught us to learn some “switch scriptures” that you can go to in times of trouble and stand on those scriptures. I remember when I was first diagnosed with cancer, I made the scripture that said “I shall live and not die.” my scripture to go to when I started feeling scared. We need to keep our eyes looking toward the hills because that is where our strength lies.

My friends, yes, these dry bones can live again if we stop magnifying the problem and magnify God! Remember, God is bigger than your finances, cancer and other diseases, marital problems, racial issues, and hatred; and yes, He’s even bigger than COVID-19. So I challenge you to leave your fears and anxieties in 2020. This is a brand new year and God wants to do a new thing. He will make breath enter into your situations if you believe.

Happy New Year!

Your Associate Pastor

Rev. Ruth J. Smith

What’s Happening at CG 12/16/2020

What’s Happening at CG?

A Note From Pastor Cowser

“Relying on God”

Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name. -Psalm 86:11 (CEB)

January 1^st often signifies a new beginning for many people. An opportunity to reset everything in life and begin again. I love this idea, but I have often been guilty of trying to develop new habits and disciplines that typically don’t make it into the month of February. All in all, I hope you’ve been more successful than I have with your resolutions.

This year, I am striving for more than just new habits and disciplines. I am striving for one thing, above all, in my life—to rely on the faithfulness of God for my sake and the sake of others. Not that I have not attempted this in the past, but in 2021, I am committed to allowing this to be the focus of everything I do—my life, my family, and my ministry. I believe we often allow ourselves to be the central focus of our resolutions, but in reality, we are called to be our best selves not just for ourselves, but for the sake of others. At least that is what we are called to do as Christians, to love God with our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength and our neighbor as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:37).

Let’s begin the year by relying on God, yes for ourselves, but also for the sake of others. God is calling us to be instruments of transformation in the world for His glory.

Ready for 2021!

A Note From Pastor Cowser

“Christmas Is Not My Birthday”
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16

The traditions and customs of the Christmas season are significantly different this year; however, the significance of the birth of Jesus has not changed. Although these are different and unprecedented times, the message of Christmas is the same. Simply put, when nothing else could help our broken and sin-filled world, God himself came into the world through his son, Jesus Christ, to save us for his glory and for the sake of others.

Each year, I remind myself that Christmas is not my birthday, but the day in which we celebrate the birth of the one who gave so much for our lives. I am reminded of the words of Jesus to Nicodemus that demonstrate the sacrificial gift of God through Jesus Christ to the world: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to also give sacrificially of ourselves to the needs of others. Most often, we want to place parameters on our service to others, somehow determining if they are worthy of our attempts at being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. However, in the Kingdom of God, serving others has no limits. We serve not because someone earns or even deserves to be served, but we serve because we are all God’s children, called to demonstrate his compassion in the world.

The world in which we live promotes fear, selfishness, and a survival-of-the-fittest type of mentality; however, we are called to live differently than the world, because of what Jesus Christ has done for us and in us. In this holy season of Advent, I pray that we will find new and renewed ways to glorify God by serving the needs of others.

Advent Blessings,
Pastor Cowser

A Note From Pastor Cowser

“Caring for Your Soul”
They are like trees planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper. –Psalm 1:3 (NRSV)

In his book, Soul Keeping: Caring for the Most Important Part of You, John Ortberg encourages the reader to tend to the most important part of themselves, which is the soul. He writes: “Our soul is like an inner stream of water that gives strength, direction, and harmony to every other area of life.” In essence, we all could improve in the ways we tend to and feed our souls. Each time I reflect on Ortberg’s words, I feel convicted because I often neglect the very thing that gives life and meaning to who I am as a child of God. The world with its distractions, cares, and complexities will often cause us to lose focus on nurturing the Spirit of God on the inside of us. If we are not careful, we will be conditioned to care more about material things and selfish ambitions than the condition of our soul. The writer of Psalm 1 reminds us that those who are firmly planted and anchored in the Lord will have deep roots that will sustain them in all seasons of life. I encourage each of you to continue to find those times and places in your life to slow down and connect with God. Not only will God sustain you, but God will give you wisdom and direction for the journey.

In Christ,
Pastor Cowser

A Note From Pastor Cowser

Prepare the Way!

A voice is crying out: ‘Clear the Lord’s way in the desert!

Make a level highway in the wilderness for our God!’ Isaiah 40:3 (CEB)

Advent is a time of expectation and hope. It’s a holy season to anticipate a brighter future, with endless possibilities. This is why I firmly believe that the church of Jesus Christ is in the “hope business.” We seek to offer a word of hope in the midst of a world consumed with chaos and confusion. The church has a high-calling to proclaim boldly the words of the prophet, Isaiah: “Prepare the way of the Lord!”

Have you ever reflected on the responsibility that comes with this declaration? The people of Israel had waited for hundreds of years for a Messiah, who would save them from their turmoil and suffering. Even though the people of Israel, as a whole, did not always obey God and remain hopeful, as they should, there remained among them a faithful group of people who were able to keep hope alive. Isaiah stands in the midst of a community that has lost hope and given-up in despair, but yet, he proclaims with boldness that the time was coming in which God would save his people.

We stand in this tradition of proclaiming a brighter future for our community. The commercialization of the holiday season has fooled us into thinking that all is bright and joyful, but in reality, people are suffering and hurting all around us. People are giving up on being hopeful every day. During this season, we should ask ourselves: What am I doing to be a “hope-bearer?” What am I doing to proclaim that God has promised to never leave us, nor forsake us? What am I doing to make the world a better place? The interesting thing about hope is that hope is contagious. If you share your hope for a better world with others, they too will catch this God-given vision.

Blessed to be your Pastor,

Pastor Cowser

A Note From Pastor Cowser

“The Blessing Business”

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. -James 1:17 (ESV)

There is no doubt that God is in the blessing business. The very fact that we are alive and breathing is evidence of a loving and merciful God. As children of God, we are recipients of so many blessings that we cannot begin to count them all. However, I pray that you and your family will join me in counting the many blessings that God has bestowed upon us. I firmly believe that once we have counted our blessings, we have a responsibility to join God, our Heavenly Father, in the blessing business. Take some time today and every day to bless someone that God places in your pathway.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My Harvest Takeaway

Center Grove Family & Friends: Thank you! Words cannot express how much I appreciate your faithfulness to the ministries of the church. Thanks to your support and generosity, our 77th Annual Harvest Celebration was a huge success! Although our worship experience was virtual, the spirit of Harvest was felt and conveyed in a powerful way.

One thing that I pray that we will take away from this year’s Harvest is the call of God upon our lives to declare the power of God in the world around us. Our world desperately needs to hear that God is still in control! Scripture reminds us that “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28, KJV). I am a firm believer that even in our darkest hour and our deepest distress, God still has a purpose and plan for our lives. I don’t know about you, but I’m trusting God in this season. If we are faithful in season and out of season, God will not only bless us, but also the world around us.

May God continue to bless you with each new day.

A Note From Pastor Cowser

What Is Your Harvest Testimony?

Let those who plant with tears reap the harvest with joyful shouts. Let those who go out, crying and carry their seed, come home with joyful shouts, carrying bales of grain!

Psalm 126:5-6 (CEB)

The year 2020 has been a challenging year for many of us. The COVID-19 pandemic has touched us all in some way and we are certainly living in different times. One thing that has encouraged me in this season is the steadfast faith of God’s people called Center Grove. I have heard countless testimonies from many of you of how your faith in God and hope for the future has grown stronger.

Although times are uncertain, we must remember that there is always a reason to give thanks and praise to God. We all have a testimony! God, our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, has blessed each of us with the gift of life – not only physical life, but spiritual life. For this reason, we celebrate this year’s Annual Harvest with the theme of “Kept: For Such a Time as This” based on Psalm 126, a psalm of restoration and joy. Harvest is a bit different this year, because our service will be virtual and not in-person, but the call of God upon our lives remains the same. We must encourage one another to give thanks to God for His abundant blessings and to keep striving to bring His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Center Grove has a vibrant history, an exciting present, and a promising future. As we continue our journey together as pastor and congregation, let us pray, focus, and diligently work to transform lives by being an irresistible light on a hill winning souls for Jesus Christ.

It’s Harvest Time!
