Galatians #breakingchains

The Apostle Paul makes a passionate defense of the essential nature of the Gospel and the grace of God in his letter to the Galatians. In his letter, Paul earnestly maintains that the true Gospel of Christ involves freedom from legalism and freedom from the power of sin. Come and experience true freedom by living by the law of Christ (love and grace) and living dependent on the Holy Spirit. #breakingchains

Come and learn the truth about God and how he feels about you, your life and those around you. This would…

We Are The Church

Justin Beiber was asked some questions about his faith and being a part of a church. “A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church. I’m not trying to disrespect them…but for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him. I don’t have to go to church.” Many people think and believe just like Justin Beiber (whether they admit it or not) when it comes to their view…

I AM – The Unveiling of God

The Apostle John in his gospel shared the most intimate account of Jesus and it his account that will be the backdrop for our sermon series entitled, “I AM – The Unveiling of God.” John indeed paints for us a beautiful picture of Jesus – His words, His actions, His motives and His character but it is not John’s understanding or belief that we are going to focus on. Instead, we’re going to journey through the Gospel of John to discover…

Ever After – Life Lessons Learned in my Castle of Chaos

Ladies’ Mid-Week Life Group Starting Wednesday, 2/25/2015, 6:30 pm Most every woman dreams about having a family and a building a home. We grow up on a steady diet of fairytales and chick flicks that drive our dreams . . . and leave us with a sugarcoated version of reality. We want it all: the prince, the kiss, the proposal, the ring, the castle, and eventually, the kids in smocked rompers playing cheerfully on the perfectly manicured lawn. Our hopes…
