    Just as ancient offerings were said to ascend to the heavens, so also a life lived in praise connects us with God in powerful ways.

    2,186,230 Can anyone guess what that number represents? 2,186,230 any Ideas? 2,186,230 this is the number of people who were in Jail, or Prison in the United States alone in June 2005 (the most recent statistics I could find).

    When we treat each other like dirt we are denying that God has made them in his image. We are eliminating the spiritual element of their existence.

    When the world was six days old God decided that he was ready to pull out the big guns. He rolled up his sleeves and created humanity. He took some dust and breathed on it, and the bible tells us that the dust became man. He called the man of the ground Adam, which was a good name for him, but I ...read more

    Epesians 1:4 “Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.”

    When I was born my parents named me William Erick Kangas and that was that. From that point on that was my name. I had no say in it I had no input I had no way to argue. I grew up being William Erick Kangas and I will probably die being William Erick Kangas. That’s what I am Called and that’s what ...read more

     | 5,789 views

    Is there a yardstick for success? How do we measure it what are the gradations? God’s word and God’s will is the clear measure for success. The book of Joshua clearly tells us as a church and individuals how to have spirtual success.

    Intro: What does tomorrow hold for Perche? Can we find it in a sliver ball? Is it hidden in a fortune cookie? Can the lucky eight ball tell us? No none of those are very useful. However, God’s word clearly tells us what lies ahead. Joshua chapter one explains that what lies ahead for Perche ...read more

    In 2 Chronicles 7.14 we find a devine blue print for revival. What we find in the blue print is a conditional statment If Then. God alwasys fulfills His thens but will we as the people of God fulfill our responsibility of the "If."

    Intro: We need revival? Bro Bill we are working we had a successful VBS, we have had some salvations and baptisms. Why on earth would we need revival? Lets try and define what true revival is.

    Saul gives us a great example of what a follower of God should not do. We can learn a great lesson from this mans life. God can work with anything except disobedience.

    Intro: Saul, if he were alive today could be the star of a reality TV show. It would be titled “What not to do when relating to God.” As we look at Saul’s life we can see pin-holes of greatness. However the little bits of light are later consumed by complete darkness. Ultimately if you ...read more
