    Once a year we have a "Unity Service" where we celebrate the fact that we are one church with several different languages that meet in our building. This sermon focused on us being ONE family with ONE God.

    Encountering God is a life changing experience. We are never the same.

    Luke 3:7-18 “We Change” INTRODUCTION While walking through life, one of the interesting things to do is to observe fads. I’m not sure how they begin or end. All I know is that after the fad is over people always ask themselves, “Why did I do it?” and “What did I see in it?” Remember ...read more

    In the Advent message from 2 Peter 3, the Apostle Peter tells us why the Lord has tarried for so long in returning from heaven: in order that we may come to repentence and not perish.

    Psalm 85, Isaiah 40:1-11, 2 Peter 3:8-15a,18, Mark 1:1-8 Why So Long, O Lord? In the Psalms appointed for the Sunday of Advent this year, there is theme that runs through them all, a note of sadness, mourning, and more than either of these, a plaintive note of anxiety concerning whether or not ...read more

    I remember growing up in church as a child and it would be Palm Sunday and we were all given Palm branches and were told to wave them in the air in celebration of Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

    Why Was Jesus So Popular? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 18, 2023
     | 1,620 views

    This passage gives us insight into why Jesus became so popular so quickly. It also points out to us something that we emphasize in the modern American church that was not a part of Jesus' popularity.

    VERSE 15 IS THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS PASSAGE: This is a story and testament to Jesus’ quickly rising popularity early in His ministry. - Luke 5:15. - It would be easy to see this passage as another miracle story, but I think it serves a more specific purpose in Luke’s gospel. Jesus has just called ...read more
