The next Sunday we talked about how the Holy Spirit indwells you. We have looked at how Jesus is the Living Water in our lives and that if we accept ...read more

"Lame Excuses" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 27, 2017

Seems like a surprising question when Jesus ask someone who has been sick for 38 years...."Do you want to get well?" Honestly some people do now want to.

“Lame Excuses” John 5:1-15 So it is an interesting question to pose to someone when we ask a person who is been critically sick for 38 years... In that entire time he could not walk.

A Festival With A Difference

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Feb 4, 2018

What is Jesus' priority? Where do you find God in the midst of all our celebrations?
