    We must take what we learn and what we say in church to let people know that this is not just for us, but others. Others should believe in God based on what we do, not what we say.

    It’s Not Just for Us Acts 11:1-9 and 18 NRSV This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Let us pray. When I listen to people read the mission and vision statement at church, I often times wonder…do they really believe in the mission and vision statement that they recite every ...read more

    God has a race for every person in this church to run. If you’re lost he’s waiting for you to join the race. It’s time for you to get engaged in the race. Let’s run! Maybe you are already in the race, but you’re carrying unnecessary weight. Lay that

    We get excited about so many things; how about the return of Christ?

    Last week we noted that Jesus will be coming back to earth soon. There are many signs telling us that Jesus can show up on earth at anytime now!

    God loves us and shows it to us in many ways throughout the Old Testament, Gospels and Epistles. This sermon deals with how Jesus shows His love for us by cleansing us.

    So the story we read today in Mark, also recorded in Matthew 8 and in Luke 5, is a wonderful example of Jesus’ love for the unlovable. All throughout Scripture we see that God has a tender sensitivity for the outcast, the hurting, the sorrowful and the desperate. I said last week how He is ...read more

    Will those who come after us find us faithful? We gain courage and resolution by remembering the lives and sacrifices of those who came before us. We must remember the fallen, resolve to be found faithful, and reflect on the finisher of our faith.
