    Que sera sera? What will be wil be sound like King Saul's excuse for not waiting on God's plan. King Saul had a tendancy to blame others for his actions. Beware by friend.

    Christmas really isn’t a "biblical holiday" but why pass up the chance to tell our friends and relatives about the ultimate gift/sacrifice God has wrapped for us?

    OPEN: Preparing for large Christmas Eve family gathering, a mother had been giving out orders like a drill sergeant: "Pick up your things! Don’t get your clothes dirty! Put away those toys."

     | 413 views

    Change Isn’t a Threat—It’s a Call Change is never easy. But in the Kingdom of God, change is often the doorway to growth. The Church has always been called to adapt—not by compromising truth, but by shedding old forms that no longer serve the mission.

    The stories of Daniel and his friends in the Bible show us how to live an uncompromising faith in a compromising world. They refused to compromise their beliefs, even when faced with death, and they were ultimately rewarded for their faithfulness.

    Introduction: Dear Brothers and Sisters. As we gather today, I want to take a moment to invite you to journey back in time, to a world much different from our own, yet one that bears striking similarities to our current day. The Bible recounts the stories of individuals who stood unflinchingly ...read more

     | 6,194 views

    We can deal with grief if we allow ourselves to recognize its complexity, if we accept the love of caring friends, and if we permit God to use the grief to change us.
