That each one of us is called to some capacity in the kingdom of God. This morning I want to look at how that is possible. How can ...read more

So, all the lies and deception become commonplace, just another part of life in this present age. Allow me ...read more

    The sermon will explore the concept of humility and honor in our daily lives, encouraging us to prioritize others' welfare over our own, in line with Jesus' teachings.

    Welcome church! So, our teaching for the day has me wondering something: Who here loves fast food? Now, we don’t need to raise our hands and make it publicly known, but maybe just nod to yourself… You love a good ol fashioned Big Mac with a side of fries. In fact, when I simply said, “Big Mac with ...read more

As I labored on the Word for today, God communicated that He is calling for true transformation--a ...read more
