Pastor’s Blog

Prayer is the foundation for a vibrant spiritual life. The least responded to question that pastors ask is this: how is your prayer life? Prayer is foundational from the beginning of scripture to the end. Not only was it a foundational piece of the New Testament...

True faith has lasting faith! Today we are going to talk about what it means to have lasting faith. How many in this room are interested in your faith with Jesus lasting beyond your moment of salvation? How many want to have a faith that stands the test of time? One...

We are continuing our true faith series, the book of James leads us to submission. True Faith Submits. I wanted to talk about a few things that we all really enjoy submitting to (notice my sarcasm). Speed limits, traffics (any else hit 475 on the way in?), diets,...

Your words are the clearest and best indicator of what’s actually in your heart. This is why Jesus said every idle word will be brought into judgement, it’s why he says out of the heart the mouth speaks. James is going to get more into our business this week by...

True faith is sacrificial. Following Jesus should cost you something. I want to share with you briefly the story of a missionary named Mary Slessor. Mary Slessor was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1848. Financial hardship due to her father’s alcoholism and resultant...

Today’s message is called Kingdom Forgiveness. Life is full of chances to learn to forgive others. My dad had to forgive my brother and I for putting many holes in the wall during wrestling matches. We even decided one day to play kickball indoors in the living room…...

The title of the message today is Kingdom Conflict. Who in here has had the privilege of having conflict with another human being on this earth before? Every hand, every person! All of us! All my points today start with when conflict arises. Because… it is inevitable!...

The title of our message today is Kingdom Victory. We are going to be talking about living in victory over sin. In God’s kingdom, God wants to give you the power to have victory over sin. To go back to a sermon just a few weeks ago, God doesn’t want you to snuggle...
