    Those who were expecting God’s deliverer, the Messiah, were confused when Jesus came on the scene offering a Kingdom, not of this world as they expected, but a Kingdom to Come of Peace and Trusting Service.

    “LIVING ON PURPOSE” LWC July 26, 2009 I’ve teaching on “PURPOSE” on Wednesday nights for some weeks now. It’s something God has impressed on my heart. I know that if we are to live any kind of “Righteous, Successful Christian Lives” we need to understand our “PURPOSE” in life, given by God! God ...read more

    Thomas doubted but Thomas was more than just a doubter but also one who was very faithful to his Lord.

    Doubting Thomas? When we think of the Lord’s disciples. We have certain words that almost always go with them. We think of Judas Iscariot or Judas the Betrayer, we think of Peter denying Christ three times but also Peter the Rock that the church was build on, we think of the John, the one ...read more

Spending time with people who don’t know Jesus will complicate your life, but it’s so worth it. Ask a mother a few ...read more
