    What is it that keeps us from praying? What is it that has made prayer into a drudgery, a joyless discipline that fills us with guilt? It doesn’t have to be that way at all.

    It’s strange that every time someone announces, like we have in the bulletin and up on the overhead and in the announcements, that we’re going to talk about prayer, we all get a little uncomfortable. You may notice in your bulletin that it says, "Leave your guilt bags at home." Because when we ...read more

    When the going gets tough will we be tough enough to keep going? The psalmist sets a great example of a "never say die" spirit in the face of tremendous affliction.

    Victory Over Troubles Psalm 129:1-8 This song is the tenth in the series of “Songs of Ascent”. It seems written for antiphonal singing; to be sung by two groups or by a leader and choir. The theme is that we can trust the Lord to bring us through persecution. The quality called for is perseverance ...read more

    A sermon about how America has been blessed, why it has been blessed, and what we as citizens, are supposed to do to keep our nation blessed.

    America has enjoyed an abundance never before known among nations. And make no mistake; the things we have had were blessings … blessings from our Heavenly Father.
