Certainly, the Old Testament prophets, like Jeremiah, realized the enormity and difficulty of their task. Jeremiah lived in the seventh century B.C., and ...read more

    We serve a God who is infinite. He is all-powerful…all-knowing…completely capable. He is a God who’s power / ability / and love…knows no limits. YET…even though we know this and often declare it…we tend to limit the power of God. We Need To Dream Bigger!

    DREAM BIGGER...DON'T LIMIT GOD! Limit: to restrict, to confine, to keep within a designated area, to fence in, hold back, to bind Example: Ever seen someone using a kid leash? (the kid has limited freedom…but who’s really in control?) Limits: spending limit, speed limit, earning limit, ...read more

    Death is a gate. All of us have to pass through it. It may be expected or unexpected. But if you trust Christ, that gate will be wide enough for two - you and your Savior. And the One who has led you all through life will not desert you then.

It has its start and its excitement, its lively and its dull moments, and it has its finish. Sometimes a game is called off unexpectedly because of a sudden storm.

    Jesus Christ’s entry into Jerusalem reveals Jesus as the promised king, the humble king, and the unexpected king.
