    A church that does not pray forfeits the Blessings and Power of almighty God. A powerless Church does nothing to please or to Glorify God. Therefore, God is not pleased when his saints fail to collectively Pray.

    We hear a lot in October about "Pastor Appreciation Month". This is a sermon that expresses love and appreciation from the pastor to the church.

     | 5,468 views

    Our world today has abandoned the truth. As a church, we need to wake up! We need to be standing up for the truth, sharing the truth with the world through God’s love.

    Many in our country today are claiming to be “woke”. Being “woke” started as being attune to racist behaviors and attitudes several years ago. As a Christian, we should all be opposed to racism, treating people differently because of their skin color, their accent, their family heritage, or where ...read more

    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away.
