We are a body of believers committed to serving and worshipping Jesus Christ. We want you to be a part of the blessings of God in the life of our church.

Christ reached out to people of all ages and backgrounds and at Vandiver Church of God we desire to do the same. On this web site you will see ministries geared to various ages. We have a place for everyone to study the scripture, fellowship together and minister to others through numerous ministry opportunities.

It is our desire to continue to be a household united rather than a house divided, so God's purpose can be accomplished through us.

Please remember that I am here to serve you. May God bless you and your family. I am expecting great things to happen at Vandiver Church of God.

Sincerely,

Pastor David Houston

“CRUMBS HAPPEN”

      What makes cookies crumble?  Every type of cookie crumbles.  Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Sugar, Peanut Butter, even No-bake Cookies – it makes no difference, every cookie crumbles and crumbs can present problems.  The residue left by cookies when they crumble can lead to uncomfortable situations. That crumb left on the edge of the mouth, on top of a shirt button or on the lap will bring to light the fact that one has had one’s hand in the cookie jar AGAIN!  Let’s face it – crumbs happen!

      So on to my point. We’ve established that no matter how sweet or bland, every cookie crumbles; likewise, no matter how sweet or bland, every person SINS.  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23.

      Just like cookies leave crumbs behind, sin leaves its mark as well. No matter how close you inspect, no matter how diligent you try to brush it off, no matter how hard you try to sweep it under the carpet, the crumbs of sin remain and will bring our sin to light.  “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops” Luke 12:2-3.  You can count on it “...your sins will find you out” Numbers 32:23b.

      Since sin is a part of the nature of every man, woman, boy, and girl, wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone could create a way for sin not to leave a mark on one’s life?  Well, some “One” has.  His name is Jesus.  When we accept Him as our Savior, He forgives us of our sin and He separates it from us.  “For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear Him.  As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us,” Psalm 103:11-12.   Our slate is wiped clean and we have a brand new start.  2 Cor 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.” And it gets even better, “He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities” Psalm 103:10.   Praise God!  My future blessings are not dictated by my past sins.  

      One last analogy - Just like cookies, people have expiration dates too.   Therefore, if you don’t know Jesus as your personal Savior, there is no better time than the present to get your crumbs in order.  It is as easy as A-B-C !                                                                                                                                  

Would you like to receive Jesus as your personal Savior?  

It’s as easy as A-B-C.    

Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Believe He died & Rose again for your sins.

Confess and release your sins.
