The Bible tells us we should "Run in such a way as to get the prize." But there's one part of the race that's crucially important for us. Do you know what that is?

I love this church. It’s so great to have this kind of worship where our Hispanic and Anglo congregations can get together, pray, sing praises and study God’s Word together.

The Threat To The Gospel Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 5, 2020

The early church has to contend with the false teachings of the Judaisers and Pharisees and to affirm the belief that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Hello everyone.

Pulling The Roots Of Racism And Discrimination To Fulfill The Great Commission

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 16, 2020

In all their colors, shapes, sizes, languages, and ages, human beings are amazing - and related to one another!

I am a people watcher. The way people interact with each other, how they show various emotions, and appropriate the uniqueness of cultural differences, have intrigued me for as long as I can remember. All human beings have more in common with each other than they think. When the Triune God said, ...read more

Being Thankful Always

Contributed by James May on Nov 22, 2020

Being thankful always requires a relationship with Jesus Christ that is built upon faith and trust in him. We can be thankful "in" all things, while we can't bring ourselves to be thankful "for" all things.

The Sacrifices God Is Pleased With Series

Contributed by Isaiah Banjo on Nov 30, 2020

It is “through Jesus” that your sacrifices can be acceptable. Anything short of that is totally unacceptable. The only person God told that he is pleased with was Jesus. When a man does not listen to Jesus, such a man cannot please God.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of Praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices, God is pleased. (NIV) Hebrews 13:15-16 Quite a lot to identify in this scripture. 1. The ...read more

Christmas – Rescued From The Wrath To Come

Contributed by Charles Wall, Jr. on Dec 1, 2020

Something else happened that fateful day when Adam/Eve disobeyed - not only did they become sinners & would die, but something else horrifying happened. Because of being sinners, they would face the wrath of this God they had previously only known as a God of love, enjoyment and fellowship.

We are in the midst of a study of the Bk of Genesis & for the last few weeks have been in Genesis 3 studying the temptation of Eve. Eve, even though deceived by the serpent, makes a horrible decision & then she influences her husband, Adam, to follow her. And so in Genesis 3:6 we read 1 ...read more
