A Message From Our Pastor...

God tells us very plainly in Jeremiah 29:13,  "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart".  God is not hiding from anyone.  In fact, He wants to be found by us. At Salmo Baptist Church, we have discovered that God is true to His Word.  As we have learned to seek God with all of our heart, we have indeed found Him to be alive and well! 

Some would say, "Well looking for God with all my heart sounds like a lot of work and I am just not

sure it will be worth it".  My friend, you will never do anything more worthwhile in all of your life! 

People seek after many things in life hoping to discover that one thing, that "secret formula" to a

joyful and happy life.  Money, prestige, position, popularity are some of the things we are told will

bring us true happiness.  Many people seek after these things "with all their hearts" only to discover

that there is never enough money, there is never enough prestige, there is never enough popularity to

completely satisfy that desire for a happy and contented life.

Jesus said, "...I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance."

I have had many experiences in my life and some would consider those experiences to be pretty

exciting.  I have had the money, I have had the position and even the popularity, but I can honestly

tell you that my life has never been as action packed and exciting as it is when I am seeking God. 

And that is not just "preacher talk"!  I am truly experiencing the "abundant life" Jesus said He came

to give.

At SBC, we intentionally challenge our people to take their commitment to Christ seriously because

we have discovered that a mediocre, half-hearted walk with Jesus only results in frustration and

disappointment.  It breaks my heart to see so many people missing what God has promised because

they simply won't make an effort to know God personally.  So without apology we consistently

challenge the SBC family to do just that...seek God with all their heart.  I have never known a person

yet who walks away disappointed having done that.

We are not striving to be a church for everyone.  It is not our goal to make everyone happy.  That would be an impossible goal for us to reach.  Our goal is to point you to the one who can truly bring deep joy and fulfillment to your life. 

I personally want to invite you to come spend a little time with our family and let us love you and

introduce you to the most exciting life possible.  God speaks to us EVERY time we gather together.

If you would like to hear a word from Him yourself, come join us, as together, we seek him with all of our heart!
