    So our highest priority as Christians is to give glory to God, to exalt him by giving Him worship. We are created and called to worship. That’s the reason we gather here today and every Sunday. So how do you prepare for worship?

    Preparing for Worship Psalm 24, James 4:8a When you read the Old Testament, you cannot help but see the importance of worship in the lives of the people of God. Abraham worshipped. (Gen. 22:5) Jacob worshiped (Herews 11:21), Moses worshiped (Ex. 34:8), Joshua worshiped (Josh 5:14) and David ...read more

    Learning A Lot From Lot

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

    Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more

    Why is worship so important? In this message, we find out 3 reasons worship is so important. God demands it, God deserves it, and God desires it. There is the DNA of worship -- worship that only you can give in your uniqueness.

    The Father: Reaching Into The Pockets

     | 3,523 views

    The waiting father reaches deep into the reservoirs of love, extending compassion to his wayward son. So we also as parents must seek not to control but to guide and then be ready for forgiveness.

    I shall not soon forget the image he presented, this father of the bride. He had smiled all through the vast and elaborate preparations for the wedding; his daughter was a kind of elegant princess, he knew it, she knew it, everybody knew it – and so the princess must have a grand occasion. ...read more

    James was a no nonsense leader of the early church. His letter was written to specific issues in the church, those issues exist today.

    Although we now do not understand things like the sacrifice of the men and women who have fallen for our country’s freedom; we will one day understand many things more clearly and definitively.

    Sustaining Love (Memorial Day Message) Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 Introduction: The sacrifice of our men and women in uniform reminded me of why they fight for our freedom.

    What is possible in each one of our futures? If we are willing to wait on God, it's more like what's not possible in each one of our futures!

    When your faith is the strongest, you come up under the greatest attack, because the enemy is trying to destroy your destiny. Let us be in a state of readiness; in a stance of resistance toward the devil and ready to give our statement of resolution.

    Opening illustration: The ancient sport of falconry used trained hawks or falcons in the pursuit of wild game.
