• Reverend Willie E. Powell 1964 to 1981
He was instrumental in moving the church from it's original location.

• Reverend Curtis Wallace 1981 to 1990
Under his leadership a larger place of worship was built adjacent to the existing edifice.  The old building was renovated unto classrooms, a spacious cafeteria and a small Chapel.  Reverend Wallace resigned as Pastor in 1990.

Lilly Grove called Reverend Terry K. Anderson of Eunice, Louisiana to become the fourth Pastor, on December 18, 1990. Reverend Anderson began his tenure as Pastor on the first Sunday in February 1991.

Never a Nuisance 
Scripture: Luke 18:1-17 
Speaker: Pastor Philip Miller 
 
We often hesitate to approach God with our needs because we've learned not to bother important people. But that's a mistake! Jesus assures us that we are never a nuisance to God. He longs to hear our prayers and bless us. 
 
In Luke 18, Jesus teaches us that pining for justice, pleading for mercy, and pestering for attention never bother God. He tells the parable of a persistent widow who finally receives justice from an unjust judge, highlighting God's willingness to answer our cries for justice. He then contrasts a self-righteous Pharisee with a humble tax collector, emphasizing that God delights in our pleas for mercy, not our boasts of righteousness. Finally, Jesus welcomes little children, who naturally pester and interrupt, showing us that God cherishes our childlike faith and desire to spend time with Him. 
 
Just like the widow who wouldn't give up, we should persistently bring our requests to God, trusting in His goodness and justice. Like the tax collector, we should approach God with humility, acknowledging our need for His mercy. And like little children, we should come to God with open hearts, eager to share our lives and receive His love. 
 
God is not bothered by our needs, but rather, He is honored when we entrust them to Him. He delights in our vulnerability and welcomes our persistent prayers. Let us, therefore, approach His throne of grace with confidence, knowing that we are always welcome in His presence. 
 
Remember, God wants to waste time with you! He desires your presence and delights in your company. Don't let the busyness of life or the fear of being a nuisance keep you from experiencing the joy of His presence.

Never A Nuisance | Luke 18:1-17 | Pastor Philip Miller

Eyes Wide Open 
Speaker: Pastor Philip Miller 
Scripture: Luke 18:31-43 
 
Friends, in Luke 18, Jesus reveals to his disciples his impending suffering and death in Jerusalem. They struggle to grasp this, blinded by their expectations of a glorious Messiah. Yet, Jesus, nearing Jericho, encounters a blind beggar who recognizes him as the Son of David. This juxtaposition is key: the disciples' blindness to Jesus' true identity and mission is contrasted with the blind man's clear-sighted faith. Jesus heals the man, demonstrating his messianic power and foreshadowing the deeper spiritual sight he offers. This miracle serves as a divine calling card, echoing Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah opening the eyes of the blind. It's a powerful reminder that Jesus is both the glorious king and the suffering servant. 
 
The disciples' struggle to accept Jesus' suffering mirrors our own difficulty in understanding pain. We crave immediate glory and healing, questioning why the cross is necessary. But Jesus' path to redemption leads through suffering. He enters into the darkness to bring us light, mirroring the ancient story of Job. Job, facing immense suffering, found hope in his Redeemer, envisioning him standing on the ash heap of his pain. This image of the Redeemer amidst suffering resonates deeply with Jesus' own journey to the cross. Job's eventual restoration foreshadows the ultimate redemption offered through Christ. 
 
Just as Job's hope rested on seeing his Redeemer, our hope lies in fixing our eyes on Jesus. He is both the messianic healer, restoring physical sight, and the suffering servant, enduring the cross for our redemption. He is the lion and the lamb, the crucified and risen Lord. We cannot have the crown without the cross, the resurrection without the crucifixion. Jesus' willingness to enter into our darkness and suffering is the very essence of his redemptive work. 
 
This truth has profound practical implications for us. In a broken and hurting world, we will inevitably face suffering. How can we endure? By fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Redeemer, who stands with us on our own ash heaps of pain. He has conquered death itself, transforming it from an executioner into a gardener. Because of Jesus, even death becomes a pathway to greater life. 
 
So, friends, let us live with eyes wide open, embracing the full spectrum of who Jesus is: the glorious king, the suffering servant, and the risen Redeemer. Let us face the darkness of this world with unwavering hope, knowing that the light of Christ will never be overcome. He is with us always, offering us his light and life, even in the midst of our deepest pain. May we fix our eyes on him, the author and perfecter of our faith, and follow him wherever he leads.

Eyes Wide Open
Speaker: Pastor Philip Miller
Scripture: Luke 18:31-43

Friends, in Luke 18, Jesus reveals to his disciples his impending suffering and death in Jerusalem.  They struggle to grasp this, blinded by their expectations of a glorious Messiah.  Yet, Jesus, nearing Jericho, encounters a blind beggar who recognizes him as the Son of David.  This juxtaposition is key: the disciples' blindness to Jesus' true identity and mission is contrasted with the blind man's clear-sighted faith. Jesus heals the man, demonstrating his messianic power and foreshadowing the deeper spiritual sight he offers.  This miracle serves as a divine calling card, echoing Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah opening the eyes of the blind.  It's a powerful reminder that Jesus is both the glorious king and the suffering servant.

The disciples' struggle to accept Jesus' suffering mirrors our own difficulty in understanding pain. We crave immediate glory and healing, questioning why the cross is necessary
