    Picture youself sitting in a small boat. Lean far to one side by following some foreign doctrine, the boat turns over, lean too far to the other side in not doing anything, the boat turns over. Balance is needed.

    Title: The Question of Balance Scripture: Acts 17:1-15 Have you ever wondered just why it is you have a little toe? I mean really, think about it! It doesn’t do anything but just sit there. All the other toes move while we are walking. All the other toes are active and support us just fine. ...read more

    How to keep our hearts right where God wants them and explore the fact that God also desires our worship.

    Last week we talked about how God desires our hearts – hearts that are redeemed, restored, and renewed. He desires them because He created them (us) for a relationship with Him – a living God.

    Exploring Jesus claim that He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Light" and that "no man comes to the Father except through [him]".

Imagine this is you, not in Athens, but in New York or Paris or Rome or Berlin? How would you be feeling? Like you couldn’t wait to get out and start exploring? ...read more
