    In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

    Why the Church I want to share some staggering statistics about church. Since the year 2000, more than 4000 churches in America have closed the doors to their buildings each year. That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more

With busy schedules filled with activities demanding our time and the ever expanding array of social media many feel that church has become irrelevant and insignificant. The comment is often heard, “I can be just as good a Christian ...read more

    What’s the calling Paul talks about in Ephesians 4:1? Is it God calling you to surrender yourself to Him! Then you responding to God’s personal call on your life and saying “Yes, Lord! Not my will but your will be done!”

    Do not allow the enemy to trap you in the “why me?” Just remember who you are.

    If you remember, last week I mentioned that on occasions the believers tend to fall in the enemy’s trap; on occasions, the believer tends to fall in the trap of self pity, which in almost all instances causes them to deviate from God’s path. This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more

    Prayer is our primary means of seeing God work in others’ lives. Because it is our means of “plugging into” God’s power, it is our means of defeating Satan and his army that we are powerless to overcome by ourselves. Therefore, may God find us often befor
