What prompts a second or subsequent need to… Continue reading Message for October 10, 2010

“And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” I John 2:17 It is so amazing that we focus so much on the things of the world and take lightly the things of God.  How much do we care about the worldly lifestyle? … Continue reading Message for Sept 26, 2010

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb. 11:1 One of the most important aspects of life is faith.  We are creatures that form our entire life around faith.  Everything we do involves some element of faith.  Faith is not just believing in God, it is believing… Continue reading Message for August 8, 2010
