    If My name is lifted up, Jesus said “I will draw all men unto me” Think about it, God gave us the easy part, He’s the one with the real challenge. Its funny how human nature is, anytime were involved in it, we always think that we have the hard part!

And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17. Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become ...read more

    What do we think of when we think of "The Altar?" For some it brings back sweet memories from our childhood. For others just confusion and misunderstandings. We cannot experience a move of God without The Altar! Today, let's take a quick look at the subject of "The Altar."

    Isaiah 55:6-7 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

    God's Awesome Plan

    At Easter we think of how Jesus, by dying on the cross, freed us from our slavery to sin. But we can't think, 'I'm saved and that's all that matters to me.' God saves us for a purpose. We need to grasp God's purpose and engage with it.

    I think Labor Day should remind us that work is a blessing, & not a curse. So this morning we’ll look at work as a blessing & as a service. Finally, I’ll suggest that work is not enough.

    We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

    But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray.
