Who Am I?

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Apr 21, 2023

Did you ever have that teacher who the only reason you paid attention in class was because they might call on you to answer a question, and you didn’t want to look a fool? Just sayin’ When I first began preparing this message, I recalled a scene from the movie “Overcomer”. I have shared this with ...read more

Jesus' Offer: To Eat With You, From Inside Of You (Revelation 3:14-22) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 21, 2025

Rather than chase wealth, and focus on wealth, chase a deeper relationship with Jesus, of mutual indwelling.

Today, we wrap up the part of Revelation, where Jesus has John writing to the angels to the churches. Jesus has clear expectations, and high expectations, for his churches. Every church has its own spirit-- its own angel-- who is responsible for that church. And some angels, and some churches, ...read more
