Truth Series

Contributed by Greg Lindsey on Mar 15, 2020

When it comes to stewardship, giving, generosity, our finances, our money it really isn't truth or dare with God it's truth and dare.

“God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

Sermon # 20 - God Will Make A Way Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2025

The Israelites were hemmed in from behind and before, and in such a critical situation they looked up to the Lord who intervened to bring a mighty deliverance. No matter what our fears or anxieties, let’s look up to Jesus who died to save us and lives to deliver us from all our fears.

Thorns That Hinder & Thorns That Help
