    This sermon exhorts us to put our full trust in God. Too many times we rely on our own understanding, instead of trusting in the omniscient God.

    In God We Must Trust Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." When I think of this subject, I cannot help but think of the parental nature of our Lord. Courtney has always been the type of child that likes to do everything on her own. ...read more

    A Giving Attitude Series

     | 7,803 views

    The reason that your giving is about more than dollars and cents is because the bigger issue is your heart in giving. To have the right attitude in giving we must first put God as our number one priority in our lives.

    When we study giving in scripture, we quickly see that giving is more than dollars and cents. It is about a proper attitude and right relationship with God. Your attitude in giving can make a difference in how your giving impacts kingdom work and glorifies God. A giving attitude means putting ...read more

    In the first message, I preached on having a Happy Church. We saw that the first thing we have to do is recognize the purpose of the church.

    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH? Many folks have many different ideas about what the purpose of the church is.
