In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well. The Lord first met him by the sea of Galilee. Look Matthew 4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two ...read more

A Church Built On Christ Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2024

I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more
