    We have great potential. We are God’s children, empowered by the Holy Spirit, equiped with specific gifts and talents to change the world (one life at a time) for Jesus Christ.

    Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 21:1-11 “Remember Your Potential” INTRODUCTION I’m not a fan of class “B” slasher films.

It’s not through ideas. - Only focus on the negative ideas here. 1. Programs. - “If our church could get more programs going, we could make a huge ...read more

    How God wants us to be doers not wanters. That we are not entitled but are granted living through his grace.
