I’ve been asking a question, leading up to this sermon for the past few months, it’s simply this, do you believe in the supernatural. It seems like a strange question to ask of Christians after all we pray to a God we can’t see, we believe in life after death, we believe in ...read more

Breaking Strongholds Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Apr 11, 2012

Spiritual Warfare, not really a very Baptist thing to talk about, or Mennonite for that matter. But just because we are uncomfortable with the idea, doesn’t mean it isn’t very real.

What Believers Aren't

Contributed by Richard A. Bradley on Mar 6, 2012

In this passage Paul is very descriptive of what believers should not be or what they should not do. The redeemed church must be something different than the lost world. How different should we be? Paul tells us in Titus 3:1-3.

WHAT BELIEVERS AREN’T Titus 3:1-3 1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, ...read more

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

Contributed by Tunde Alli on Nov 23, 2011

There are two sides to God’s ultimate creation. Though man exists in the physical realm, he is ultimately a spiritual being.
