Jesus Through The Eyes Of Peter

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 5, 2022

What would it be like to meet Jesus? The Bible gives us an insight by exposing us to those who knew Him best. We look at 6 ways Jesus made known to Peter: through his brother, at Peter's house, in Peter's boat, his fishing rod, his sword, & his heart.

Sermon # 21 - Cry Out To God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 30, 2024

There Is One Hope Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 12, 2023

Hope is something as important to us as water is to a fish. But with our current social and economic concerns, hope often seems illusive. Our political and legal systems are allowing outrageous things to go on. Just look at the news of this past week.

God's Aquarium Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021
