The more I interact with people from all walks of life and see many in the midst of crisis, the more I realize that people need something to hang on to, some glimmer of hope that things will get better, or that there is a ...read more

    The first of the seven deadly sins, considered the root of all others sins. It was this sin that caused Lucifer to fall from heaven.

    The first of the seven deadly sins is pride. A simple definition of the word pride is an exaggerated opinion of one’s value and worth. It is the attitude of superiority over others. A biblical example of pride is the tower of Babel where the people said, we will make a name for ourselves. Tonight ...read more

  • 8 Reasons Why People Leave The Church

    Are you surprised when you hear that a once faithful Christ follower has turned away from the faith and now doubts whether scripture is true or not? If you are like me, you wonder how this happens but then you remember this is nothing new. Apostasy appears throughout the bible.

    In Hebrews 6:4-5 the writer notes some will turn away from the gospel although they once tasted the good Word and received the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew we would be tempted to turn away from the truth but He reminds us to remain faithful to the end (end of our lives) if we want to receive the ...read more

     | 9,108 views

    Message focus is on Christian optimism. It is taken from the 4 times Christ states "Be of good cheer.’
