    We have a choice. We can live in the grasp of sin and evil, or we can give our hearts over to Jesus. He gave everything He had, including his life, to rescue us from sin, so it’s only fair that we give Him everything we have, including our lives.

    Why are some prayers answered while others are not? It has to do with materialism vs. spirituality.

    Faith and Prayer Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:14-29 14 When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. 15 Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him. 16 And He asked them, ...read more

    God is always present with us but often shows himself clearest to non believers when we go through the fire.

    Three weeks ago, we began a new teaching series around the supernatural.

Supernatural by ...read more

    Mark 5:21-43 tells of the healing of two women who received new lives when it seemed all was lost. Each one was a living testimony of the miracle-working power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Mark draws our attention in his Gospel to the miracles of the Lord Jesus. Thus far, He has shown HIs power over disease (1:29-31, 34, 40-45; 2:1-12; 3:16), over demons (1:23-28, 34; 5:1-20), and over the forces of nature (4:35-41).
