    Every Christ follower must be intentional in growing in relationship to others and God. And the church must be intentional about helping you to grow in your faith. That happens primarily through small group Bible Study and Sunday School

    Our Strategy: Grow John 13:34-35 In this series, we’ve been looking at our strategy to accomplish our mission of “Connecting diverse communities to a lifestyle devoted to Jesus.” The first step in our strategy is “Celebrate.” We celebrate because worshiping God is the purpose of our life.

    If you are full of fear you are not full of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Him...

    Matthew 8:25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!’’ 26. But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?’’ Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

    Having, Losing, Choosing

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 31, 2009
     | 4,620 views

    Whatever we think we possess can be lost. God gives it to us for only so long as we need it, but after that it becomes an idol. We must choose to give away time, talent, treasure for things that do last, and for life itself.

    Almost nothing that you and I count on to be permanent really is permanent. Almost everything that we think will last forever, it turns out, can be destroyed. Anything we have we can also very easily lose. We live in a monumental city. Capitol Hill, the monuments, the Federal Triangle, the White ...read more

    A sermon that looks at the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value in light of the surrounding parables.

    Do you know where the phrase “buy the farm” comes from? It is actually rather recent in its usage. It started perhaps during WWI but certainly by WWII, having been recorded only in the 1950’s.
