    Some groups put The Pastor on a pedestal as God’s annointed, a spiritual super-star to be admired and honored. In our passage today Paul sarcastically shreds this un-Christlike view of leadership.

They warmly decorate our houses rather than warning of suffering. Particularly in the suburban Bible Belt, our versions of Christianity depict sanitized pictures ...read more

    Naaman lived because he reluctantly listened to people who were “beneath” him. He left Syria because of a captured slave who kindly told him where to find healing. He wanted to speak to Israel's king, but it was a prophet’s assistant who told him where to go for healing.

    As fall is here, our church family is examining the life of Elisha. Elisha shows us how to remain faithful during challenging times. Our God always leaves His light for us even in the most troubling of times. Elisha’s life is the story of God’s bright light in the darkest of skies. I invite you ...read more
