    The world may not see the fruits of our faith because we, like Moses, are hiding and making excuses instead of taking action. God often asks us to undertake challenging tasks. Will we trust Him? Do we respond with faith or excuses when God calls?

    Last week, we heard a powerful message about faith and works. The pastor challenged us with the question, "Where's your fruit, Church?" Today, we will delve deeper into this question by examining Moses' response to God's call in Exodus chapter 3. Are there things holding us back from being as ...read more

    What character of the Bible best describes you? Do you start out well only to finish poorly and offer God every excuse you can think of?

He says that he was “a very great man.” The Bible does not hand out this kind of praise openhandedly. It marks ...read more

    Big But

    Seems we have all kinds of excuses not to do the things we ought to be doing. Simple truth of the matter is... we all have Big Buts that get in the way of us consistently living a sold life for Jesus.
