    How God can use the local church to change the world.

    100 million in U.S. don’t go to church at all. 2050 – 10% will attend! My grandkids generation… Instead of spending our time on what the church has become, let’s look at what it’s supposed to be.

    We continue our study of the Book of Genesis. The Book tells us about God and the history of Israel, God’s Chosen People, through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. The story of Joseph began in Genesis 37. In that Chapter we noted that: Jacob loved Joseph more than the other sons. Joseph had visions ...read more

    Its not by our own doing, but the power we receive through the gift Jesus Christ that enables us to do far more than we could ever see ourselves capable of. If God be your partner, Make Your Plans LARGE!! Hallelujah, Glory to God forever!!

    “You can do it,” No I Can’t, YES YOU CAN!! How many of us ever live our lives to full potential, how many even step out of our comfort zone once in a while. So many people in general and not just Christians never think outside the box, They get cozy in life with their daily and weekly routines, ...read more

    Wouldn't it be great to see things through the eyes of Jesus? Perhaps if we accept the Cheap Songlasses that come with Grace, we could see others differently.

    Without attention and energy, we humans will default back to our flesh pleasing ways even after coming to Jesus. That's where the lie of legalism is so pervasive. Paul begins his battle against legalism by contrasting human achievement with grace.

    We humans love to accomplish things. It’s so we can tell whether we are a success or not. This is also true when it comes to pleasing God. “Lord, I prayed and read your Word for an hour today.” “Father, I refrained from clobbering that guy who cut in front of me.” We ...read more
