Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Oct 20, 2014

Summary: Do we deserve God's commendation for our services to him. Well based on Paul's converts at Thessalonica, I would ...read more

The Way We Walk

Contributed by Timothy Dolan on Sep 30, 2012

Being an imitator of God means that we must live a life of love and light. Verse 2 of Ephesians 5 describes living a life of love (imitation of Christ's love) and walking as a child of light (verse 8) another imitation. Word imitation means to mimic.

Who To Invite?

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Feb 11, 2011

There are birthday parties and graduation parties, block parties , retirement parties, 4th of july, labor day. I have been blessed as a pastor to be involved in lots of special occasions for families. ...read more

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jun 30, 2015
