    SOMETIMES WE FORGET THAT WE ARE CARETAKERS OF THE CHURCH. IT IS NOT OURS. WE ARE HERE FOR A SHORT WHILE AND THEN PASSIT ON TO THE CARE OF OTHERS. THE ONE THING THAT IS CONSTANT THOUGH IS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD TO LEAD US ON.

    The church is at its best when the church is bold.

    Last week we took a few moments to study the first opposition the early church experienced. The big take away from our time together was that there is a spiritual dimension to life whereby Satan, the enemy of God, wages war against Him and all the good that He has given the world. The war that ...read more
