As I review this past year in the life of our church, it is apparent that God has been speaking to us in a language of promise just as He did with the people of Israel. I did not review the past year from a standpoint of what went wrong and what went right. No instead I reviewed this year from a ...read more

Not About The Money Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 16, 2009

The deaths of two early church members may seem to "about the money," but that isn’t the whole story. See modern church problems in a new light.

There is a bit of folk wisdom that goes something like this: “Whenever you hear someone say that ‘It’s not about the money,” it usually is.” But this morning, I want to share from a passage that is almost always focused on the money and probably should not be. I don’t believe the Holy Spirit ...read more

Raise Your Praise

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 23, 2009

The Woman’s Witness Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 10, 2008

The text records the effects of Jesus’ witness upon a woman & then through the women upon the Samaritan village. Strangely, it also includes the effect of witnessing upon Jesus. God changes others, the world, & us as we bear witness to Jesus.
