Guarding Your Words
Contributed on Jun 18, 2026
This message looks at the serious nature of both our “idle words” and “words spoken against the Spirit.” "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" is explained. We will also learn what using these words reveal about our heart.

Contributed on Mar 31, 2026
We all carry things that weigh us down and keep us from doing what God intends for us, or that hinder us from coming to Christ. Jesus urges us to lay down our heavy burdens to find rest and renewal in Him.
Have you ever unpacked a suitcase when you got home from a trip, only to realize you had not worn some of the items you packed?
