    "have Yourself A Very Happy Renew Year!"

    As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days.

    God has a purpose in us not knowing the future. God the Father wants us to daily spend time in prayer talking to Him, but if we knew everything, we would not need to seek Him daily for guidance.

    Behold The Lamb

    Occasionally, Scripture presents us with events that change everything—epochal moments. This sermon explores one such event from John 1, marking the public unveiling of Jesus' ministry.

    God places us where we are for a purpose, offering courage and guidance in uncertain times when we seek Him with prayerful trust and obedience.

    Good morning, friends. I’m glad you’re here. Some of us arrive today with a quiet ache, some with a smile that’s doing its best to hold steady, and some with a burden that feels bigger than our own strength. You are seen. You are welcome. And you are not alone. Have you ever felt cornered by a ...read more

    Like disciplined athletes we are called to cast off everything that would prevent us from running with endurance the race set before us.

    Christian Toolbox Basics

     | 13,170 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more

    The dark road to the Cross was full of rejection and pain, but and Jesus emerged on the other side of the cross into the brilliance of resurrection life! This road is also the pattern for every disciple.
