What Do You Crave? What Does God Crave? (James 4:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 5, 2022

These verses, read as a whole, read as a response to a specific problem within the church, really don't make sense within the context of Western, white, evangelical Christianity. The way we tend to view the church, and ...read more

Where Do You Stand? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.
