    the cross is not just a symbol we look to or place our faith in, it is also a way of life for those who choose to follow Jesus. The word crux is defined as, “a vital, basic or pivotal point.” It’s the moment when everything changes,

    Where One Life Ends and Another Begins Mark 8:34-38 Lent is a season of preparation and reflection on our lives of following Jesus but more than anything, it is a journey to the cross. In the time of Jesus, the word for cross in Latin was, “crux” and was the ultimate symbol of shame ...read more

    The only way to enter the Kingdom of God is by way of a new birth. The religious bubble of Nicodemus must have burst!

    Perhaps the most important thing you can discover as you spend time immersed God’s Word is this: God loves you. You belong to him. To understand the Word of God, rely on the Spirit of God.

    Opening illustration: As an adolescent I read the word of God daily as a routine without really understanding it and kept it under my pillow assuming that it would give me a peaceful sleep and protect me from all harm.

    What Your Tongue Saya About You

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Oct 27, 2013
     | 7,270 views

    We get mad when people say nasty things about us but what about what we say to ourselves? Too many times we allow satan to tear us down from the inside out and to use our thoughts against us. Believers need to bring every thought unto captivity to Christ.

    What Your Tongue Says About You There have been countless sermons preached on the power of the tongue. I have preached a few of them myself over the years and many of those sermons were talking about how what we say affects other people and that’s very important because what we say to and ...read more

    The Bible tells us that the LORD gives us gifts of joy and peace among other godly attributes. Are they evident in the lives of most Christians? If not, why not?

    Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder.
