It’s not until we started our church 3 years ago I experienced what this word means: “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” 1 Cor. 12:26 This morning, I was reflecting back upon some of what the people shared during our service yesterday.

Today marks my 43rd birthday. Here’s what I really want this year… I want to know God like I have never before. I want to see Him in His majesty and glory like never before. I want to treasure Him, delight in Him, and find my greatest pleasure in Him. I want to know His […]
Proverbs 4:13-Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. If you remember elementary school at all you probably recall your teacher using the phrase "please follow instructions" all the time. The reason being is that they had our best interest in mind.

I am afraid that a lot of our preachings and Christian books we read are not in line with the Scripture but rather with the culture. It is, “Let’s emphasize the positive and not dwell on the negative,” “Let’s make […]
1 Timothy 1:5 -The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. I want you to imagine being in a relationship that is about honesty, mutual sacrifice, encouragement and love around all the things you’ve done together. Now imagine you gradually notice none […]
If you had UNLIMITED amount of money, how would you spend it? I was watching (inadvertently) an informercial on TV asking for donations to feed the hungry children in Africa.

Good afternoon everyone, Mark 4:38-But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” If you have been a Christian for awhile then you have experienced some test from the Lord. But at the same time we like […]
