    ROOTS By Pastor Jim May How many of you have a green thumb? I can’t make that claim. It seems that I have a hard time making anything grow the way that it should.

    Introduction: - One of my favorite fictional character is the zombie or the undead. These are people who are living aimlessly looking to satiate their appetite. And the worst part is, they could easily infect others. Zombies are not found in the bible, their main source is African voodoo. However ...read more

    God is liberal - and by that I mean generous, ample, extravagent in giving. Jesus told this parable ABOUT the crowd not TO the crowd. What is our response to the message of Jesus from the liberal God? What kind of soil are we?

    God is liberal! God is not a Liberal Democrat, but God is liberal! God is not ’wishy-washy’, but God is liberal. God is incredibly generous and extravagant. God does not say, “Anything goes.” God is not that kind of liberal; but when the dictionary says ’abundant, ample, giving freely;[ and] ...read more
