    God teaches us that his way of winning hearts through his Word is the only way.

    $20,000. That’s how much our congregation spent last year (not including pastor’s salary) on outreach both here and through our synod. What did that $20,000 accomplish? Well we didn’t grow as a congregation, and our synod’s membership actually declined. Was that $20,000 wasted? Is sharing God’s ...read more

     | 5,633 views

    Worship is not what is taking place around you: It’s what is taking place within you. Worship is not a time and a place you attend, it’s how we live our life all the time. Worship is a living testimony, of God in your life.

    In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus describes two very different men, who took two very different approaches to connecting with God, which resulted in two very different outcomes.

    Today we begin a new series on rejecting religion for something real. The “something real” is the way of Christ (Christianity), which is not a religion, but a relationship with the living God. Too many non-believers wrongly think of Christianity as “just another religion,” and, sadly, many of ...read more
