    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of gathering as a church community to encourage, support, and strengthen one another in love and faith as we follow Christ.

    There’s a sacred sweetness in the sound of gathered voices. A familiar face across the aisle. A hug that lingers just a moment longer than usual. Coffee cups, creaky pews, and kind words.

    Today Is A Good Day To Die

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 21, 2019

I’ll confess, I’m a Star Trek fan, And there is a species in the series that is very focused on warrior virtues. Any episode where there is a battle, and there seems to be a likelihood of ...read more

    Take a risk! By faith, fear God more than people, forsake the world, follow the Lord, and find salvation for your own soul. By faith, do what others cannot do and live a life pleasing to the Lord.

    In one little Midwestern town, Miss Jones had the distinction of being the oldest resident in town.
