    Message introduces study of book of Zechariah focusing on THEME and HISTORICAL CONTEXT. Zechariah's message is highly relevant today. As theme suggests, it is a message of hope for God's people!

    Today I want to begin opening the book of Zechariah to you. For all practical purposes, this book and other minor prophets are closed books for most Christians. During our annual reading of the Bible, we read the words, but there is a vast difference between reading words and comprehending the ...read more

     | 28,420 views

    Very few things in life are unstoppable. The only truly unstoppable force in this world comes from God. The Spirit of God makes His Church, His people, and His purpose unstoppable.

Is that even possible? Are there any truly unstoppable people in the world? I have known some people who thought they ...read more

    The chorus of witnesses that went ahead of us calls us, by their example to live lives of faith, with one eye set on our eternal home and one eye set right here and now on the mission field we call our lives.

    August 7, 2016 - Hebrews 11 - Faith Acts - August 7, 2016 All of us believe and all of us also don’t believe. A big part of what defines our lives is what we believe and what we don’t believe. No one here believes everything. If you did, you’d be mightily confused because of ...read more
