All He Does Is Win! Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Feb 12, 2025

Jesus never fails. A persons faith is only as good as the object they place it in. We must make sure that our faith in Jesus as He is revealed in Scripture. Not a "Jesus" of our own imagination.

Jesus Makes Sense

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025

Grace crosses forbidden borders to restore what systems abandon; Jesus speaks order into chaos, reclaiming the image of God within us.

There are moments in Scripture when heaven steps across an invisible border, and the entire order of creation trembles. This is one of them. The Gospel of Mark says, “They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.” That sentence may sound geographical, but it’s ...read more

Why Follow Jesus?

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 22, 2013

Many followed Jesus for what they can get out of Him. Peter followed Him because He is the Son of God and He has the words of eternal life.
