    Lucy is best known in the Peanuts comics for her five cent advice, which is neither helpful or uplifting. Different people spoke into Nehemiah's life and he had to decide who he would listen to.

    The Doctor is In I don’t know if Lucy is anyone’s favorite character in the Peanut’s universe. But the reality is that we all either know a Lucy or are a Lucy and if you are a Lucy there is really no way to see that as complimentary. Lucy is not a nice person, she calls ...read more

    Sometimes it seems like we’re on a run away rollercoaster, in times like these we need to be reminded that (God is still in Control).

    I want to start this message by prophesying to somebody: God is in control, it doesn’t matter what is happening in the economy, and it doesn’t matter what is happening on a political level, or whose in the white house. It doesn’t matter what they do to social security, healthcare, or anything ...read more

    The story of Esther and Mordecai is a classic narrative of lessons for our generation on how to make it in life or how to make it in a foreign land

    The story of Esther and Mordecai is a classic narrative of lessons for our generation on how to make it in life or how to make it in a foreign land.

    Sometimes the Sermon on the Mount is referred to as the world’s greatest sermon.

    (Pastor's note: Pastor this is a message to help set the stage of the heart for deeper worship.) Worship only happens when the gratitude inside pours out.

    “Give Thanks” How do you put Christ at the center of your worship? One sure way to enjoy worship every time, be it private or the corporate experience, is to make sure that worship is actually happening. Many try to chase connection with God but miss it because they don’t know the key factor of ...read more
