Christ Fellowship of Wise County

If you do an online search for Bible verses that bring peace, there are probably thousands that will show up. The Bible is full of encouragement when we are having a rough time. You have your favorites. I have mine and nobody is more right or more wrong at all. Thank you, Lord, for your wonderful book of encouragement and conviction!

This morning I was reminded of a passage that brought me peace in Acts chapter 12. It’s probably not one that any of us go to regularly for peace in and of itself but the story brings me great peace because it reminds me of Christ Fellowship. In Acts 12, Peter has been put in prison but we don’t see him pacing the floor or crying or cussing. What’s he doing? He’s sound asleep.

How could Peter possibly be asleep at a time like this? He was chained between two guards and was probably scheduled to be executed the next morning and ol’ Pete was working on his beauty rest! How could he do that, you ask? Because in verse 5 it says that the church was earnestly praying for him. That was the secret to Peter’s peace.

I honestly do not know how people get through this life without a church family to pray for them and encourage them and lift them up to the throne room of God when they are in time of need. What a blessing that is. And I want to say thank you to all of you who have prayed for me this week.

Most of you know I lost my sweet Princess Sara this week and, honestly, it has been awful. And I know that loss doesn’t compare to when you lost your spouse or your child. I get that. I do. That is real pain that really hurts and leaves permanent scars. But Jesus said in John 16, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

God wants you, as a true believer in Him, to have peace and we can have that peace through prayer that comes with a relationship with God through Jesus and is lived out and blessed in a church family. Thank you for praying for me, my dear family! Now, how can I pray for you today? — Todd

Welcome to the website for Christ Fellowship in Wise County, Texas! Our guide and model is the first church as described in scripture. Our motto is “Doing whatever it takes to lead people to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.” We have a passion for people and a passion for Jesus and that is lived out as we are called to minister specifically to the poor, addicted and the incarcerated. As such, we don’t have any rules about what you have to wear or what you drive or how you worship. If you want to raise your hands and shout “Amen!” or if you want to sit there like a bump on a log, that’s okay with us.

In fact, we don’t really have any rules at all. We are not about rules but about relationships so if you want to wear shorts or sweats or suits, that will be fine. Just come on. I promise you will be welcomed! We have a very casual, family-style atmosphere around here. Almost all of us have pasts that we are not proud of but that makes us all the more thankful for how God has changed us and we would love to welcome you into our forgiven family.

We meet together at the church building on Sundays at 10 am and 6 pm and also Thursday nights at 7 pm for Bible study. All are welcome at any or all of those times to worship and bring glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Here we are with a real web presence! Check back to see updates and additions to this site, as we continue to develop it and customize it to make it more useful and informative for you, our viewing audience.
