We are encouraged to come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy, and grace to help in our time of need.

To boldly come! – reading Psalm 55, Luke 18:9-14 Introduction I like Star Trek.

This morning I want us to think about a ...read more

Come To Me

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 14, 2021

We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

COME TO ME Matt. 11:28-30 We like to be invited to things. Depending on the event, we might get a fancy, overpriced invitation in the mail, requesting our presence at such-and-such.

“i Have Fallen But I Refuse To Stay Down!”

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 16, 2016

The problem for so many of us is we are looking backward in our relationship with Jesus, instead of forward. We tend to focus on the stuff that tripped us up and knocked us down. We focus on what we did that caused us to lose hope and feel abandoned.

“I Have Fallen BUT I Refuse to Stay Down!” Lk 22: 60, 62 & Mth 27: 5 Did you know that EVERY one of the disciples of Jesus fell down? Jesus told them, on the night He shared the “Last Supper” with them in; [Mat 26:31 NIV] “…"This very night you will all fall ...read more
