We all know the saying, "You are the company you keep," and the Bible has a lot to say about the importance of choosing our friends wisely. Our focus today will be ...read more

    As Christians, we are more known for what we are against than what we are for. Ironically, Jesus said we were to be known by love, and that is how the world will recognize us.

    Last week, we started looking at what the world around us wants to know about Christians. We talked about the kind of faith that the world around us is saying, do you have that kind of faith? Today, we are going to look at love. I told you last week, that one verse has been driving me as a ...read more

    We Christians are commanded to love one another. But what does such love look like? If we love one another, what practical impact will that love have on us as a congregation?

You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; ...read more
