"Expect The Unexpected This Christmas”

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 2, 2023

Ephesians 5 On Marriage

Time To Engage: "Prioritize To Jesus"

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 12, 2025

Making Jesus our priority means that we’re putting Him first on our list. If our priority is Jesus, where we prioritize our lives to Him, then everything else falls into place. And to make Jesus our priority, we need to look to Jesus’s life and see what He prioritized.

Sermon # 37 - The Father's Love Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 18, 2025

The love that God the Father demonstrated when He sent His only begotten Son Jesus into this world is unfathomable. It’s this love of God that saved us, protects us, provides for our needs, trusts and accepts us in spite of all our faults and failings.
