This weekend will be mostly Bible teaching on Four Ways to Build Better Relationships. Love (2 Cor. 12:15 NKJV) Honor (1 Peter 2:17) Humility (Proverbs 28:13) Mercy (Matthew 18:21-22; Eph. 4:30-32) What we do when we gather in the barn will be part Bible teaching, part practical seminar-like instruction, part story-telling, and personal testimony.

The Pierpont Sisters 2008 and Today
Our daughters Holly, Heidi, Hannah, and Hope travelled into the mountains of eastern Kentucky in June of 2008 to sing and testify. It was their only tour. Deep in the mountains and a few weeks into their tour they happened on a mountain TV station where they recorded this song. Each of the girls would […]
42 Years Ago Today…
At 13 years old Lois walked down the aisle of the Southside Baptist Tabernacle in the West Willow subdivision in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and became a follower of Jesus. 42 years ago today on a grey autumn day she walked down the same aisle and vowed to spend the rest of her life as my wife. […]

On Eating an Apple
He worked hard but when he arrived home it would still be a few hours before sunset. He got an apple and his pocket knife and sat on the edge of the porch in the sun. The simple pleasures of the warm sun on his head and the sweet taste of the apple took him […]
Candy Bars for Grown-Ups
Someone locked the door to Hope’s bedroom. No one could find the key. All the windows were locked. There was no way in. There is a cold air return that opens into her room. Finally we came up with a plan. We took the grates off the cold air return and called our little four-year-old […]
Christmas Message-Chuk Pierpont
A couple weeks ago our son Chuk preached a beautiful Christmas message at his church. I thought you might like to hear it. It’s pretty strait-forward. I hope it helps you and encourages you. https://kenpierpont.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/PM-12-9-18-Pastor-Chuk.mp3 The picture above of Chuk was taken in front of the Starbucks in Jackson, Michigan on Thanksgiving many years ago.
