It is my joy to not only share the Word through preaching, but also to lead us in worship through music. My passion is to have a worship time that is from the heart and has a context. Therefore, the songs we sing will usually support the message we will be receiving that morning.<\/p>\n<p>We do predominately more contemporary-style music with more traditional hymns done from time to time.

God\u2019s Word the Bible is everything. Without faithful, accurate preaching there is no salvation (Rom. 10:17; 1:16) or progressive sanctification (II Tim. 3:16-17.) Therefore, preaching and the study of God\u2019s Word are rightly the central emphasis of Murphy Community Church! It has been my joy, honor, and great privilege to bring the Word here since 1986 and God has indeed honored His Word. What a blessing it is to share HIs Word with you through the Internet. Click on for the latest or past messages and may God bless. Also, feel free to let us know how God has blessed you so we can praise His Name with you.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Bill<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWednesday Evening Bible Study<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-446 size-full\" title=\"one13\" src=\"http:\/\/www.murphyscommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/one13.jpg\" alt=\"one13\" width=\"240\" height=\"145\"><br \/>\nWe meet in various homes at 6:30 p.m. for a time of fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.
