    Friends, some weeks feel like a wrestling match from sunup to sundown. Bills stack up. Deadlines creep closer. The phone pings with headlines that twist your stomach.

    Following Jesus requires surrender and steadfast devotion, even when His teachings are difficult, trusting that true life is found only in Him.

    If you’ve ever sat at the kitchen table late at night with a lukewarm cup of coffee and a heavy heart, wondering why following Jesus can feel so wonderfully right and yet wonderfully hard, you’re in good company. The Gospels show real people with real questions, listening to a real Savior who ...read more

The lead character, special agent Jack Bauer, is on the run practically the entire show. He has no sooner solved one crisis than another rises. The title "24" is taken from ...read more

     | 2,816 views

    We have a precious faith and we must hold on to it firmly. Commitment grasps that faith. Holding on to God's promises is essential. We look at the often misapplied verses of Hebrews 6 and who it was who actually let go. They are NOT Christians.

    Message - Holding On But Letting Go Red Cross Hall 19 July 2014 HOLDING ON . . . BUT LETTING GO – BE STEADFAST IN HOPE AND WAITING The subject here may seem like an apparent contradiction (an oxymoron); something we hold on to but let go of it.
