Your contest of faith is not going unnoticed. ...read more

We looked at the movie “It’s A Wonderful Life” and how that the angel jumped in the water before ...read more

    No one is impressed with the guy who registers for a marathon. But no matter where a person finishes a marathon, it is impressive. Same with God. It is not impressive to start well, only to finish well.

    COMPLETING THE RACE! HEBREWS 12:1-4 (1-13) Pastor Jim Bohrer November 30, 2008 With all the pomp and prestige that the Chinese government went to in order to put their best foot forward, there was one person who they honored who stood out.

    In the New Testament we see people like Judas, Anannias, and Saphirra who started well but did not finish well.

    1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the ...read more
