    “When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it. In the meantime, you can praise Him in the hallway.”

    We used to have an award that we gave out each month at the VW dealer, where I worked as shop foreman. It was called the “Crybaby” award and it was a baby’s pacifier mounted on a piece of wood. We gave it to the technician that griped and complained the most, each month. ...read more

    A look at God desire for everyone to be saved and the human freedom that keeps that from happening.

    A CONTRADICTION? The Bible says it’s God’s will for all people to be saved, but it also says that the road is narrow. - Matthew 7:13-14; 1 Timothy 2:3-4. - Look at both passages. - Unpack each idea and its implications. THE ANSWER: Human freedom. - It is God’s desire that ...read more

    Heaven's Open Door Policy

    The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.

    We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more
