Most people know what NASA stands for. It's an acronym for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In recent years I've come to learn that there are people who are completely convinced that the NASA along with the US faked the moon landings. "We never went...

God didn't create man to be a trophy on His cosmic shelf.  He created man for fellowship. He wants to be intimately connected with you! That's what God said to Moses in Exodus 25:8. "Let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them." And it wasn't just an...

POWER!  It's an amazing thing!  Jesus said, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" Mat 28:18. All power!? Is that really true? When we can't see or sense the power of God it is easy to be tempted to believe that it really isn't there. Perhaps it's just...

At this moment (Thursday, Nov 5) the election is tending toward Biden but still could end up Trump. Lots of people are on pins and needles awaiting the outcome. Riots have already started in Portland, Denver, and New York. But for the true Christian, this does not...

I've been asked by the Nominating Sub Committee to be the leader for prayer meeting and have acquiesced to their request.  I want to publicly thank Sean for leading out for the past few years and wish him and his dear wife God's richest blessings as they move over to...

Most of us don't seem to KNOW what GRACE truly is.  After going through every verse on grace in the Bible and reading the book Amazing Grace I'm realizing I don't either.  But I'm learning, and from that learning comes my sermon, GRACE +  where we are digging deeper...
