    How powerful is your faith? A better question: How powerful is WHO you place your faith in?

    Is this logic true…. I believe I am successful – therefore I am successful. I believe I will prevail – therefore I prevail. I believe in God – therefore there is a God. If I believe in something strong enough, does my belief somehow shape the resulting situation, reality, event? We have all seen ...read more

    Jesus demonstrates a kind of authority that they could not have guessed. He has already shown power over nature, but authority is more than power, it is the right to exercise power.

It turns out that she had grown up in the church and had some great memories of the church…but as she grew older she had lost interest in church. She cited various issues in the church that she ...read more

    This sermon is about overcoming comfort, complacency, and cowardice.

    Turn with me to James 4. Read James 4:13-5:11. A lot is covered in this passage, but it points to some very important conclusions. We cannot be comfortable, complacent or cowardly. James, in his most practical style, calls us to be completely sold out to God. A life that is God-filled will ...read more

    Installation of Assistant Pastor. How may a young woman make an impact? By acknowledging that it was God who brought her to this time and place, and by laying down her very life for the task.

    A young woman in a very difficult situation. A crisis moment, for which no training could have fully prepared her. A dangerous moment, one in which the future of a whole people lay in the balance. She had little power, in the usual sense. She wielded no authority, commanded no troops, had access ...read more
