Why Are We Here? Series

Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009

The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more
