A message from Pastor Steele: Last week I began to share with you the vision I have for Cactus Christian Fellowship:
- More leadership options as our ministries expand.
- We will need mentoring programs.
- I see us reaching out into new areas, yes, I see children's ministries, and youth groups as we reach out.
- I see us getting involved in community activities as we reach out. How are we going to grow if you don't reach out of our comfort areas.
- I see our mission ministry expanding.
- I see our media ministry expanding.
- I see huge steps of faith as we look in the near future toward a building program.

7/30/2023 Pastor Wally Steele continues his sermons on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. In this study, these few words of Jesus tell us a little something of what heaven is like.
- It is a place of rest; we sit down in heaven
- It is a place of good company to sit with; we enjoy the friendship of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven - It is a place with many people; Jesus said that many will come into heaven
- It is a place with people from all over the earth; from east and west they will come to heaven
- It is a certain place; Jesus said many will come, and when Jesus says it will happen, it will happen

7/23/2023 Pastor Wally Steele continues his discussion on the Sermon on the Mount with the following challenges:
1. Intentionally seek God first in your life and decide today to obey God and to obey Jesus' teaching. If you are uncertain what God's will for your life is, perhaps opening your Bible is the next best thing.
2. Continue praying and studying the Bible for yourself. Through prayer and Bible study, you can grow a relationship with God and as you pray and study, God's will for your life will become clearer and clearer.
3. Never stop short of, or back away from, chicken out of, or let anything distract or discourage you from going where God wants to lead you to in you life with Him.
