    This message presents an overview of the types of leaders that God wants for the church.

    George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying, “Some people see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not?” Many churches across America are in desperate need of visionary leadership. Leaders who refuse to settle for the way things are and are willing to press on ...read more

    Depression is something we can all struggle with during the Holidays. This series directly addresses the causes, and counters with the Promises that God gives us to endure and overcome.

    God’s Promises for the Holiday Season: You are blessed… A couple of weeks ago, we began a small series on the Promises that God has given us, and we were doing this as a reminder in the face of what the Holiday Season has become. A time of year that was meant for joy and celebration has become a ...read more

     | 3,525 views

    There is a way to do wonderful things for God and fade into the background. Our human nature wants to get the credit and be the focus. Our godly nature tells us otherwise. Learn how to be an active part of God’s plan by disappearing.

    Where have we been so far? Chapter 5: rely and focus on the Lord, not on ourselves. Make, keep, and fix broken relationships as God fixed the broken relationship with us. Now in Chapter 6 we move to being an active part in focusing others on God—the source of life. What’s the use of having ...read more

    Love's Repsonse Series

    We have many misconceptions about what real love for Jesus is. But I trust that these words from the mouth of our Lord Himself will make us wise unto salvation. Christian love is demonstrated as a believer keeps or obeys the Lord’s words.

    JOHN 14:21-24 LOVE’S RESPONSE [John 14:15-27 & 15:7-14] This passage concerning our love for Christ is bound before and aft with teachings concerning the Holy Spirit. There is significant reason for this. We are to obey Christ’s word and live for Him. In fact, our love for Christ is declared ...read more

    Let us dare to channel God’s blessings.

    Someone wrote, “Attempt great things for God. Ask great things from God.” I believe that is embodied in what has become known as the prayer of Jabez. Let’s read 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, ‘I gave birth to him in pain.’ ...read more

    If we were listening to the Spirit there would be more unity.

    Polarized or Compromised April 6th, 1975 was the day I was saved by the mercy and grace of God when I only went to church to get a lad off my back.

    Introduction: Let me ask you a question: What about your heart? Is it right with God? Notice I did not ask you about your life.
