    One thing we can be sure of, if the church is ever going to have an impact in the world, all we do must be surrounded by prayer.

    By faith, do what others cannot do and live a life pleasing to God: fear God more than you fear anybody else; forsake whatever this world has to offer; and follow the Lord to victory in your own life.

    On Memorial Day, our thoughts often turn to those who have passed away, especially to those who gave their lives serving our country. They risked everything so we could have the freedoms we enjoy today. If you served in the military at any time, would you please stand, so we can express our ...read more

    Incomplete obedience is disobedience. And yet, many fellow Christians attempt to serve God while living for the world. We need to discover the will of the Lord and courageously do that will.

    (see also Mark 8:27-30) for context. Dear beloved in Christ... In our Gospel reading there is much to grab our attention as Jesus is in process of predicting his death and resurrection. We hear about how Jesus must suffer many things and that we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus. ...read more
