    Did you know that one of the signs that we are in the last days is that people are so quickly angered and offended.

    Due to today’s political environment many are saying we are living in the last days.

    This message is to encourage the church to never give up on the mission. Regardless of the circimstances that may arise, we should hang on to God’s unchanging hand and to take that much needed step to recieve our promised blessing.

    NEVER GIVE UP Acts 14:1-7 One thing we have to learn as Christians is, regardless of how hard things get or how disheartening they may become, we must not give up. I’ve discovered in this vocation as a pastor, is that every pat on the back is not for ...read more

    Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,091 views

    We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

    I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more
