    The intent of my message is not to elevate the story of Mary to the point of glorifying her in any way. We try not to glorify people around here much. Mary was highly favored , not highly exalted. We are here to glorify Jesus.

During this time we are more conscious of the more meaningful things in life. This is the time when we are more thankful of ...read more

    Contributed by Darin Gary on Jun 25, 2016
     | 5,067 views

    In spite of the sinful deeds and intentions of a few who claim a 'relationship' with God, and who 'work' within the auspices of some Christian denominations, the Lord Jesus has NOT abandoned the true ethos of the Church, nor the TRUE CHURCH itself.

    WHY WE EXIST (The Church’s Mission Statement) (Matt. 16:17-18; NKJV) – “…Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. [18] And, I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 24: 36b-48. Yes! Jesus is alive. He is out. Jesus continues to invite everyone to “Touch and see,” to be reassured that his presence is real and that his intentions for forgiveness are real.
