    Paul said, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." This not only speaks to ministers, but confronts the laity of their responsibility to share the good news.

    Who are we in Christ? Have you ever wondered about that? Just who are you, who am I, to God? Sometimes when I look at the night sky on clear and moonless night, when I’m out in the open, no lights around to obstruct, and I see endless maze of stars about. I really feel insignificant. I begin ...read more

    A sermon to share with the congregation the need for serious and steady prayer concerning our church’s annual budget and the giving of the church.

    The internet is a wonderful source of information; although some is trivial, some useless, some is motivational, and some mind-numbing. Just for fun I went to a site called "Global Rich List."
