    To emphasize the importance of humbling ourselves, decreasing in our own importance, to allow God to increase in our lives, and how this surrender can positively impact our church and community.

    Good morning, Church! Today's message is one of humility, of sacrifice, and of the power that lies within a church that lifts God high above all else.

Ezekiel, like most of his fellow Israelites, had given up on the idea of ever being restored as a country. They were now in the land of Babylon, exiled from everything they had held ...read more
