     | 3,760 views

    This morning we are going to cover several different areas of thought and I am going to share a Bible verse which highlights this area of the Christian faith.

    Heaven's Open Door Policy

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 3, 2025
     | 666 views

    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

    Start reading the Bible as though your whole world depends on it. Do not lethargically scan it or dig just for ‘promise scriptures’, delve deeper into the Word, and give every molecule of your being to it

    FEAR HIS NAME: Malachi 4:2 “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings.
