    In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

    Why the Church I want to share some staggering statistics about church. Since the year 2000, more than 4000 churches in America have closed the doors to their buildings each year. That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more

    Because of Jesus, we are able to go behind the veil to experience the grace of the Father. Jesus is our High Priest who goes before us, pulling us ahead like an anchor on a motor launch into the safety of the bay of heaven.

    Today’s message is entitled “Our Anchor of Hope,” and I would like to open with an illustration.

When storms or turbulent seas threatened a ship that was docked in ...read more
