The Apostle Peter shares with us what he learned on the Mt. of Transfiguration.

It’s that time of year again. Time to leave, or at least dream about leaving the snow behind and heading somewhere warm for a week or two.

A True Vision Of Christ

Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on May 2, 2008

The transfiguration shows us Christ as he really is. It shows us that his authority is based on who he is, not what he has done.

See him as he really is What a transformation! There used to be a lot of makeover shows on TV, in which somebody’s appearance, dress or house was completely changed in a very short time. The change was very often dramatic, and they seemed to be quite different people after than they were before, ...read more

The Christian Eula Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 15, 2006

Ever wonder what you are signing up for with Jesus Christ? Luke 9 gives us some practical examples of the principals in the Christian discipleship.

Do you know what a "EULA" is? It’s not a form of Hawaiian dance. It’s not what you say about a person at a funeral. It stands for "End User License Agreement." If you have ever installed a piece of computer software, you have encountered a EULA. It’s that huge mass of legal garbly-gook full of ...read more

The Walk!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Oct 3, 2008

I believe that God calls all of His people to walk with Him. In this outline we lay out seven kinds of personal walk we have with Christ. If our desire is to be more like Him then we must walk and learn of Him daily. Not just in the Sunday morning service
