    Will we be faithful when the going gets rough?

    You know being trustworthy is one of the best character traits to have. Smart is good, but if you cant be trusted, no one will believe your smart-ness.

    Pastor Dave asks the questions, “How does the way the average Christ-follower manages his/her life differ from that of the average non-Christ-follower? Or is there a difference?” It comes down to whether or not we really believe that God changes lives.

    Considers the vital role of God’s Word in our lives, what it would be like if there were not Bible, and what it is like to ignore it.

    Intro – Some of you watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” in the past couple of weeks.

In one of his strips, Charlie visits Lucy at her psychology booth, and she gives him this advice: “Life is a lot like a deck chair. Some place it to see where they ...read more

    It’s been said that there are two kinds of people in the world -- those who are millionaires and those who would like to be. And that’s one example of jealousy, but it’s only a piece of it.

Shakespeare called jealousy “the green sickness”, and we often speak of people being “green with envy”. And, in that regard, it’s all ...read more
