    Are we just spiritual connoisseurs or spiritual growers?The question is not where is the God of Elijah? The real question is: where are the Elijah’s of God.

    God is working in this church, not because we’re special people, but because we’ve chose to be obedient to His call. That’s our choice. I invite you to become a total part of this family of faith and move ahead with us. We don’t know what the future holds

He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more

    We must love others. We are to love in deed and in truth and not just in word.

    1 John 3:11-24 depicts the differentiation among love and hate, and how love should be found in the existence of every Christian believer. Evil has an envious scorn for goodness. For this reason, Cain killed Abel, and it is why hatred is viewed as murder’s spiritual identical. Christians are relied ...read more
