    What does it really mean to Love God with all? Not just on Sunday morning when your favorite praise song is being sung, on Wednesday afternoon when the high of Sunday service has dissipated and you find yourself stuck in traffic, or in times of suffering, or grief.

Maughmer, Jr PRAYER SCRIPTURE: - Matthew 22:37-40 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

    The sermon calls believers to courageous, costly obedience, trusting God’s sovereignty even when outcomes are uncertain, inspired by Esther’s example of sacrificial faith.

    There’s a holy hush that falls over a room when courage walks in. Not the loud kind that shouts to be seen, but the quiet courage that prays in whispers and stands when knees are weak. We know this courage. We’ve asked for it in hospital hallways. We’ve reached for it at midnight when the house is ...read more

    There is a war that rages among us today that is just as serious. It is the war that rages in the souls of men and women. Why do people have so much trouble getting along with each other? Chapter four of the book of James gives us the answer.
