    A call for unity in the church.

    We like Jesus’ original disciples still have to live in this world. Have you ever wonder exactly what is “the world”? It is a system of values typified by Satan himself, centered on greed, power, deceit and self-will. While we are in the world Satan desires to do everything he can to destroy, ...read more

    Like the paralytic in Mark 2, school kids need someone to hold the four ropes for their encouragement and success in school.

    Holding the Rope Mark 2:1-12 One of the stories we read in VBS was the story of the man who was completely helpless. He couldn’t walk; he couldn’t use his hands. The only way he could get anywhere was when his friends carried him. Then the news got around that Jesus was healing people. ...read more

    A young man confusing lust for love unleashes havoc on the Kingdom of David. His actions serve to caution us not to confuse lust for love.

    Some of Jesus greatest words and works happened at the table. Some of the greatest evil words and works happened there too.
