    Jesus the Judge is also Savior and Friend, cleansing hearts today so His people can live free, hopeful, and ready for eternity.

    (A Story of Hope and Cleansing) I want to start tonight with an honest question: What word makes your heart tighten faster than almost any other? For some it’s taxes. For others it’s diagnosis. For me, for a long time, it was judgment. I grew up hearing Revelation’s words: “Fear God and give Him ...read more

    We Were Formed For Fellowship

     | 5,473 views

    How did God design us? He wants us to gather together in faithful fellowship groups that lead us to the fullness of Christ. Our friendships will impact us for faith or not. We must make choices of fellowship on purpose.

    We were formed for fellowship. When God created Adam the Bible tells us that God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18. This was the first time that, after God created anything, he looked at it and said that it is NOT good. ...read more

    A Servant's Heart (Updated) Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 48,873 views

    We are looking at the heart of a servant, which Jesus said should be our goal if we want to be great in the kingdom of God. To have such a heart will cost and goes against everything we’re taught. It conflicts with our self-centeredness and personal desires. But in the end, there’s a reward.
