Mention My Name Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 26, 2025

At another level, Jesus’ words are perplexing. How could I possibly do something on par with Jesus? After all, how could I play soccer like Lionel Messi? How could I direct a film like Steven Spielberg? Or how could I cook like Gordon Ramsey?

Give me your full attention for a moment by allowing me to see your beautiful faces while I ask you this question. Which would you prefer? Walking with Jesus for three years like the Disciples did?

Spiritual Zombies, Arise! (Ephesians 5:3-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 29, 2025

When we are saved, we move from death to life. When we go back to our old way of life, we become as a people who are dead, living in the dark. Paul urges, rise from the dead, and let Jesus' light shine on you again.

This week, we continue our Ephesians study, and we find ourselves picking up midstream in Paul's argument. What we've seen up to this point, is that God is a good and loving God, who acts rightly toward his people, showing them grace and kindness. And God is the process of creating one ...read more

The Father Bows At Calvary

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025

The Father bowed in love at Calvary, endured the silence of separation, and rejoiced in the resurrection that opened eternity for us.

The Gate Of Salvation Series

Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Nov 27, 2025
