    How many of us have heard it said from some one near to us, “If you love me, you will love me as I am.” It is the nature of true love to love what is unlovely and even the unlovable. As we read our bibles we find that the word for this deep love is agape. Romans 5:8 “But God commends his love ...read more

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Apr 7, 2008

     | 13,942 views

    The day we call "Good Friday" was a pretty gruesome day. So how can we call it "Good Friday"? I believe we have four reasons why we can.

    Here we are again gathered for what we call a “Good Friday” service. I’ve always thought as a kid and even into young adulthood that it was such an odd name for this day. After all what happened on that day in so many ways wasn’t good, it was a tragedy. There was an innocent man railroaded. ...read more

    When do things make all the difference? When we are moved to laugh or cry, when we are celebrated or sacrificed for and when we believe.“Why The Cross Makes All The Difference” describes the cross from three perspectives: Jew, Gentile, and the Believer.

    There are just some times in our day where things make a difference. Take them out, things go wrong. Add things in, and things go wrong.
