    From Local Impact to Global Reach" explores the church’s call to move beyond local influence and embrace a global mission. This sermon emphasizes the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to be witnesses, starting in our own communities and extending to the ends of the earth.

We are not meant to be static or stagnant, but dynamic and expansive—always reaching out, always moving forward, always extending the influence of the Kingdom of God. In Acts 1:8, Jesus gives His disciples a clear and compelling ...read more

    We need to pray. We need to follow the example of our Lord Jesus who made prayer a priority. We will look at the passage of scripture that tells us about when Jesus got up very early and got off by himself to pray. There was a cartoon where one praying mantis was talking with another and said, ...read more
