    We live in an image-driven culture and our churches seem to be buying into the concept in their efforts to reach people, but more than ever, what people need is for us to be genuine followers of Christ. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    *Disclaimer- You need to know your audience to do what I did. It could probably be tamed down with wearing just a pair of sunglasses.

    based on 4 ratings

    Children have very simple views of life… and of love. The following are children’s views on the topic of love. A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” A 5 year old boy – “Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me ...read more

    OPEN: There is a phenomenon that is quickly sweeping through our country that’s called the “Cancel Culture.” It’s a mindset that demands that if anyone says or does something that someone else finds offensive, THAT PERSON must be silenced and destroyed. As a result people have lost their jobs, ...read more
