Farewell Tipton Family Church as a season comes to an end

I knew though that a season was coming to an end.

That was the context of the verse I preached on this morning. Paul was addressing the church in Ephesus and he knew it was his last time there, as he made his way to Jerusalem.

As one door closes, another one opens.

As far as my own future in church ministry is concerned, I genuinely don’t know at this moment in time what lies ahead.

  1. Sorry I am going to miss your last service, the meeting I came to at Christmas had a profound effect on Isabelle and Elliot. Love and kisses to you and Debbie X X X

  2. Sorry to hear of this, Stewart. I wish you all well and hope that you all stay in touch. It’s a shame to hear things like this. We need more churches, not less….

    1. Love your comment that although you’re a minister you see yourself “first and foremost as a Christian.” I’m sure new doors will open, but our primary identity once we’re saved is found in Christ, not our role or ministry title. Thanks for the reminder, blessings to you and Debbie.

      1. Thanks, Jon. We’re very relaxed about everything, we knew it was coming due to the building situation.

  3. A sad day, but an opportunity for a new season as you have said. Hope you and Debby can enjoy a rest and enjoy being ministered to for a while. Pray that God guides you to the correct church 😊
