    This message challenges Christians in the face of opposition to go forth in the Name of the Lord. The church when moving forward will always face opposition and the church should go forth in the Name of the Lord.

    Just as a tiny spark has the power to start a devastating fire, one word has the power to devastate lives, homes, churches and communities. Words can tear down but they also can build up. How do you think the Lord would have us use our words?

We’ve had kids all over this church who have broken bones in the past year or so. Things like that happen. People get hurt. ...read more
