You are in for a real treat today! We’ve decided to mix things up a bit and have two live speakers on every floor. I’ve asked 8 of our staff to share a mini-sermon about what God has been doing in their lives recently. You will get to hear two of them in the service you attend, but...
A true friend is a great blessing. Someone who “gets” you. Someone who knows your weaknesses and failures, and loves you anyway. Someone who is easy to be around. Someone who enjoys the same activities and conversations. Perhaps Proverbs captures it best...
I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night.You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the...

But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 In this pandemic season, a lot of activities have been put to a halt. No...
