    God’s template for church gatherings is straightforward. Let’s look at four focuses that describe what a church should accomplish internally, though not always all at once, but through its overall ministry.

    Church 101 (Acts 2:40-47) 1. Sometimes people do not like to think too much: A fellow stopped at a gas station and, after filling the tank on his car, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink.

Nehemiah 8:7-8 The Word of God must be EXPLAINED (taught, interpreted, preached, and translated) The Levites do this after Ezra reads. Nehemiah ...read more

Looking back over the past few months we have lost three fathers and one mother in this congregation. Special occasions, such ...read more

    Whether "wretches or worms" type sinners, Christ died so we could have forgiveness. No one can be so bad that the death of Jesus cannot forgive their sins.

    In a few minutes we will be conducting the Ordinance of the Lord’s Supper. It is a tremendous visual display of the love and work of Christ for us. Jesus did not only give us insightful teachings, and incredible miracles --- He demonstrated His love. He put the message into action on the cross. ...read more
