    For some reason, it makes perfect sense to most of us, to not try and run the Boston Marathon without proper training. But when it comes to our relationship with Christ, we make the decision to follow Him and think that we can just sit back and enjoy the

    If you guys can remember what we talked about two weeks ago, we began to look at our mission statement – Living to Grow, Serve, Worship, and Share.

    The decisiosn we make define our life and determine our destiny. Genesis three shows us the decisions of two daddies. We see Adams destructive decision and Gods redemptive decision.

    Intro: Genesis is a wonderful book of beginnings. It carries some amazing truths. We find out what sport God likes best. In the big inning God created the heavens and the earth so he must like baseball best. We find His favorite state Noah looked out of the Arkansas. Really God is no respecter ...read more

    The fourth reason of spiritual growth is that we will finish well.

    Usually March is the month of graduations. It reminds me of what someone wrote, “It is important to start right, but it is imperative to end well.” Sadly, many people start well but end poorly. However, I don’t want my life to end that way. I believe most if not all of us would like to finish well. ...read more
