    A look at the Unexpected Journey God sent Moses on.

    24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures ...read more

    As the days get shorter, and the nights get colder, fall is a great time to look deep into our souls. It’s a time to delight in the details of beauty around us, reflect on where we have been, and focus on where we are going.

    All churches have signs. Most of these are not literal signs, but rather unwritten messages that are communicated loud and clear - especially to people who don’t go to church.

    The Greatest Place on Earth – Part 4 February 3, 2002 (For this message we had 6 signs made and I unveiled them one at a time. In our foyer we have permanently hung the three that communicate what churhes should. Thanks to Mike Breaux, Lexington, KY for the seed idea.) INTRODUCTION Play the ...read more

    God has established relationships of authority in our lives and we honor God by respecting these relationships of authority.

There was a time in American life when we thought we could trust the major social institutions, but those times are long gone. At one time confidence in our federal government soared, but then ...read more

    based on 134 ratings
     | 28,811 views

    As followers of Jesus Christ, we carry God’s name with us wherever we go, whatever we do.

    What’s in a name? In Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo asks that very question: "What’s in a name? A rose by any other name still smells just as sweet." Romeo would have us believe that names are just arbitrary ways of saying who we are.   But names are far more important than Romeo would ...read more
