Many are hurting and unable to receive comfort because of social distancing. Many are scared and have diseases and other health issues. They wonder what ...read more

Not By Your Strength But By My Spirit

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Sometimes I ask myself, in the darkness, waiting to fall asleep.. "Am I really going to be able to do this?" You wonder if you have the strength required for the journey ahead. So much has been lost, yet so much has been gained.

Real Christianity: Clothing, Buildings, Money, & Extravagance

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

There is a lot of stuff out there claiming to be Christian, when it's not really Christian. It's a difficult situation for any real Christ follower. On one side you have a culture and society growing progressively more hostile toward Christian values.

Minister On Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

The Power Of Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

Attaining the church's purpose is about "keeping the main thing the main thing." People must not only "know" the core values, but they must also "hear" them continually restated so they can envision what they're working towards.

Proverbs states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Bill Hybels, in his book Courageous Leadership, tells us, “When a leader is casting a vision publicly the goal is to help people know, understand, and remember the ‘main thing’.”(1) Purpose is all about keeping ...read more

Victory Is Where We Live

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 25, 2017

When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success. I want to see something positive happen.” That is not what God is after. God is not ...read more
