    The Holy Spirit took fisherman, former prostitutes, ex-religious leaders, tax collectors, and various family members of Jesus and the other disciples and formed them into a united group we call the church.

    Today across our group of churches is Healing and Wholeness Sunday. We are a Pentecostal Church and we believe that God can and does Heal people every day. So why do we have a specific day dedicated to Healing and Wholeness? In many ways today is no different from any other day but often we ...read more

    We have to make choice to live a righteous life

    Lead me in the paths of righteousness for Your Name’s sake PS 23:3 Historians will probably call our era “the age of anxiety.” Though we have it easier than our forefathers, we have more uneasiness.

    The road to transformation involves the choice of what we put into our minds and what we choose to think about.

    Whatever is… Phil 4:8-9, Feb 27, 2011 Intro: For most of us, the word “meditation” conjures up a mental picture of someone in baggy pants, sitting on the floor with their legs wrapped up like a pretzel, arms comfortably outstretched, middle finger and thumb together, saying ...read more

    We struggle against sins (actions), sin (attitude), and evil (forces greater than ourselves). We must have Christ’s help to keep from falling. (Delivered by gradually stretching down the chancel steps).

    Walking looks like the simplest thing in the world, unless and until. Walking is something we do without even thinking about it, unless and until. Unless you are a toddler, just learning to use your legs; then walking becomes a matter of holding on to the coffee table for dear life, taking two ...read more

     | 2,215 views

    If God offered to give you whatever you wanted, what would you ask for? Solomon teaches us how to ask for true riches.

    I found a website that published letters children addressed to God. As you can imagine, the letters are quite humorous. One girl wrote: “Dear God. Are you really invisible or it that just a trick?” Another child observed: “Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all of everybody in the ...read more

    God’s grace overwhelms the “second chance.”

    Scripture Introduction To give someone a leg up means to help them climb higher by standing on your knee or in your cupped hands, like a human step stool. A billboard in St. Louis advertised a local church by proclaiming: “Jesus gives a leg up!” That is both helpful and hopeful… ...read more

    Anger! That insidious emotion that, if not submitted to Christ, can cause us much trouble. Jesus teaches us to be a person of peace in both our actions and our words.
