    Are we the product of 13.6 billion years (give or take a few billion) or are we the direct creation of a Creator who made us in His own image? What makes us different from all of the other animals on earth? God knows. And He told us.

     | 622 views

    May the Holy Spirit work in us a deeper understanding of one of the ways our Good Shepherd provides compassionate care for us. He does that through the shepherds he sends to us. He does that to equip us for the life of service he calls us to live.

Shepherd and sheep. Sheep and shepherd. ...read more

    Just as many of us travel during December, Advent reminds us of Jesus' "travel plans" to serve as our Savior. We'll use the Apostle Paul's travel plans to visit the Thessalonians as our guide.

    The Road To Rest

    The Road to Rest Matthew 11:25-30 John Bunyan's classic analogy of the Christian life, Pilgrim's Progress follows the journey of the main character named Christian as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, which describes the spiritual journey of a Christian towards ...read more
