"sit Down! You’re Rocking The Boat!"

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 26, 2022

The world tells us they don't want us "rocking the boat," but that's exactly what they need. The success of the Early Church was that they upset the natural order. Only if people are exposed to Jesus will they be saved. We must make that happen!

No. They were to wait. “Don’t give,” He said, “until you have received. Nothing can be done by you until ...read more

Promoting What We Have

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

If we fail to recognize what God is doing in our midst, then His blessings may depart from us. Instead of looking at what we "don't" have, we need to look at what we "do" have, and then tell others what God is doing in our church.

I’ve entitled our message today: “Promoting What We Have.” And we’re going to take a look at four points to boldly sharing with others what God is doing in our life and in our church. I once heard it said that you should appreciate what you have, before it becomes what you had.(1) This is an ...read more

Don’t Judge?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 18, 2021

The Bible says we're SUPPOSED to judge and that we're NOT supposed to judge. The key to the mystery has to do with people versus actions. We also have the responsibility to carry God's mail to the untaught.
