When a sports team gets outplayed, the coach’s press conference will usually have a statement ...read more

    What would you have done? Allow your mind to open for a moment, drift with me and consider If you were God, think of it if you had the power to create all things as he has and the power to know all things as he does and no one could tell you what to do… Then In your wisdom oh mighty one what ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,166 views

    Through the birth of the Christ child and the visitation of the angels to the shepherds we see a God who cares and comes to us at our worst times to deliver us.

    When we read the Christmas story of the birth of Christ I think we have a tendency to gloss over and glamorize what really happened. We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more

    The unchurched population is growing exponentially and with that the anti-Christian sentiment is producing a society that God will not support, thus the downward spiral of America.

    Interceding for America Psalms 2 After last week’s message I did a great deal more soul searching. For some time now I have not been happy with my own relationship with the Lord.
