    True faith goes beyond believe in God existence to believing that God can do what He said He would do. If we really have faith we will be willing to take risks and depend on Him.

    We’re going to be starting our series on “Discovering the Heart of God” today. For the next few weeks both in the sermons and then also in several community groups we’re going to be talking about things that come from the heart of God. It’s not just that God loves ...read more
