    Continuing Pastor Mike’s series on God’s Top Ten tonight we will be looking at the fifth commandment.

    The troubling of the waters of Bethesda signaled the descent of the angel. We all have our "story" of why we can't get healed; Jesus doesn't need it. Jesus didn't wait for the angel to heal, because He's ALWAYS READY TO HEAL! Call on Him!

     | 7,742 views

    We do not obtain the blessings of God because we deserve them. We obtain them because He loves us and it brings Him glory.

    Who Gets Your Blessing? One of the most dramatically unqualified biblical heroes I can think of is Jacob. He was a liar, a con, a trickster, a fraud. He spent much of his life haunted by bad decisions and exiled to the chaos of self-inflicted consequences. And yet God called him, chose him, and ...read more

    Most people know the meaning of G. I. G. O. It’s computerese and it stands for “Garbage In, Garbage Out.” In reality computers can’t think for themselves and operate on the basis of data typed or programmed in. They put out what has been put in, so if we input stupid, wrong data (Garbage), we ...read more
