    This message is about the temptation of Jesus and how in our lives we are tempted but never alone. It helps show that the wilderness isn't about punishment but about testing and growth. It also helps us realize that when we are under attack God's word is our defense.

We spent months training … running drills, studying techniques, learning how to handle the heat and smoke, how to ...read more

    This is good for Palm Sunday or any other Sunday. Jesus rides into town a humble King when people were expecting a conquering king... But Jesus conquered not through force but by being a humble servant..

    There is a cost involved in everything we do. It even cost us something to follow Jesus and yes, there is a cost even for The Cross

    There’s a moment every firefighter knows — when the alarm sounds, and you have to decide whether you’re willing to run toward what everyone else is running away from.
