Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 12, 2018

We’ve done the same with Samson and Goliath in the ...read more

Thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence? Here's three grassroots rules about wealth that will help us find contentment:

Sermon # 46 - What God Desires Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 5, 2025

Jonah failed to understand the compassionate and merciful nature of God. We as a church must know the heart of God and be actively involved in sharing the good news of the gospel and inviting those outside to be part of God’s Kingdom.
