Why Go To Church?

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 17, 2024

Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

Hell - The Unpleasant Reality

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 3, 2024

The story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 offers the best and clearest picture into the nature of hell. Because these words come from our Lord Jesus, we must treat them with utmost respect. We see the cry of rich man from hell to heaven.

The Bible warns us of two eternities. One is impressive and all like to hear about it. But the other is horrifying and seldom wants to believe it. They are heaven and hell. Is hell real? There can be two answers. One is from man and the other is from God. What I think about hell neither make a ...read more
