Between Two Advents (Revelation 20) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 30, 2025

We come into worship this morning with what may be a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of circumstances, at least as far as a church calendar goes. It’s the first Sunday of Advent, when we begin focusing on Jesus’ coming into the world. It’s ...read more

You Are A Beloved Disciple Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Valentine's Day: Peter came very close to viewing himself by his failures instead of seeing himself through the eyes of Christ. He finally came to realize that he was a beloved disciple. And Jesus sees you as cherished too!
