This message gives us some keys to help us be more intentional and focused during our personal worship/devotional time with the Lord — making that time much more fruitful. An order of service with announcements may be found here. Speaker: Darren Plummer Text: Luke 10:38-42
We all know that Christ died on Friday, and on Sunday he rose from the dead, but what happened on the day in between? For our final devotion of this Lenten season, let us pause to ponder, some events that the Bible only hints at… and wonder what they mean. Speaker: Pastor Robert Barnes Scripture:...
How do you value yourself? By your work? Your possessions? What your family thinks of you? Dorinda Amissah reminds us that we are of such great value that Jesus died for us.
We all know the story: the story of how one of Jesus’ disciples betrayed him with a kiss. Judas was the bad guy, and we would never be like him. But was he so uniquely evil and weak? That is a question for all of us to ponder. So, take a few moments and listen...

We have been in Lent since Ash Wednesday and it will end on Holy Saturday, right before Easter. These 40 days leading up to Easter are the most important time of the year for Christians, even more...
It is often preached that because of Jesus, God will accept us as we are. That much is largely true, but what comes next? We Christians obviously are not perfect, so does God expect us to change after we become a Christian? Or does the fact that he forgives us of our sins, mean that...
