Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

Look at what happened to Jesus! He was celebrating Passover with his disciples on Thursday night, and by ...read more

Jesus is the ultimate name -- the only name through which there is salvation.

Well, as you’re aware by now my name is Brad. Although, that is not the whole truth. Brad is actually a shortened form of Bradley. That’s what my parents named me -- Bradley. Bradley is a name from the British Isles that means broad meadow -- perhaps a commentary on girth. Now, I wish that I could ...read more

What Do We Do When Control Is Taken Away?

based on 4 ratings

| 3,795 views

We like to be in control, some of us need to be in control but, when that control is taken away by sinful man or others, we need to look to the one who is always in full control.

Acts 4:23-33 I suspect that most all of the conflicts and battles of life boil down to issues of control. Republicans want control of the congress and Democrats don’t want to give it up. Israelis want to control Palestinians and Palestinians resist. Sunnis and Shiites fight for control of Iraq. ...read more

It was cold and dead. More of a social club for the deceased. One day the church building caught on fire. The ...read more
