    In times like these the very things we have created to solve human problems are easily swamped; but God wants His people to flourish and will build bridges over the difficulties.

    In June of 1972 I was standing in the middle of Colesville Road, not far from my home. I was standing safely in the middle of the road because no traffic was coming through. Why not?

    This particular Psalm has been called the "Great Hallelujah Psalm" It is an invitation for all to become active in the praise of God. Let’s examine some of the benefits of corporate praise.

    The writer of this Psalm used the phrase "Praise Him" nine times, we also find the word "Praise" used an additional four times in this writing. There must be some significant or special reason for the instruction to praise to be given. Is it possible that God wants praise to be not only a personal ...read more

    A sermon encouraging our church to step out in faith and get off the edge. A message for a church that is sitting on the fence or a church that is ready to move into the direction God has called them.

    A church on the edge God’s relationship with us seems to be one of “edginess” of a risk taking journey- at least according to Scripture. it’s risky “to truly love” isn’t it? It’s risky to confess. It’s risky to forgive, it’s risky to truly care, it’s risky to surrender, confront, risky ...read more

    Today we are going to look at the final definition: Definition 4 – A complete or radical change of any kind. God wants to do a sudden, radical, and complete change in each of us.
