Hey church!I hope you have bread, milk, and eggs! It looks like we have some interesting weather this weekend. If you need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to call or email. Church members in your area will be glad to help if you are in need of food, shelter, or emergency transportation if things get bad.I also wanted to let you know that we are monitoring t...

I recently preached a message from Hebrews 9:11-22. That passage describes the blood sacrifice of Jesus and why it is sufficient to atone for the sins of mankind. That message (here's the link if you'd like to listen) dealt an awful lot with blood and it's ability to satisfy the wrath of God against sin. That's not an easy concept for many people. But don't allow misunders...

The book is great and I thought the movie was even better (I'm biased, I know). I won't spoil it but the Strobel's story takes them from atheistic in...

I often fail to meditate on passages before and after great verses. Most people know John 3:16 but fewer know the beauty and power of John 3:17-18. Sometimes these great verses stick out like an enormous mountain that can overpower a landscape and cause us to miss other impressive mountains around it. That's often the case with the Bible. It's easy to get overwhelmed at th...

Damn the prosperity gospel. I have seen its terrible influence on five continents as I've traveled to serve people around the world and share the gospel. It is one of America's deadliest exports. Jesus did not suffer and die so you could have your best life now. Stay far far away from any church that teaches prosperity, health, wealth, and happiness as a result of followin...

Our team of coordinators and volunteers have been sharing photos, videos, and stories since the event on Friday and I continue to hear amazing feedback. I'm so thankful for our vendors, church members, volunteers, participants, and for their caretakers and parents. Everyone pulled together to make a really special event. There's so much negative in our world lately. It rea...
