What God Can Do With A Happy Meal!

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 20, 2021

Gathering For Encouragement Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 2, 2021

Hebrews 12:1 tells us to 'run with endurance'. Only long races need endurance - marathons, for example. In a marathon, encouragement makes all the difference. The Christian life can be tough. We need encouragement and we need to encourage others.

That’s a significant moment. But something else has been happening. About four months ago we started a new ...read more

We did to have excuses when the going gets tough. Jesus' call is for total commitment. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

When Jesus calls us to follow Him, to be His disciples, Jesus did not call for any halfway measures.
