What kind of disciple will you be?

Isaiah 9:1-7; Matthew 4:12-23 January 25, 2026 The Scripture today is about deliverance from DARKNESS. What better way to describe the utter despair in so many lives today?

People who are on the edge of despair....

Psalm 27; Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18 March 16, 2025 When you hear the word “covenant,” what comes to mind? The word “covenant” has a wide variety of applications. For example, between two businessmen, a “covenant” is a contract – in a country, it is a “constitution” – and between two nations, it is called a “treaty.” But the best single definition of the word “covenant” is that it is “a legally binding – formal expression of intent.” Now, some of us might think of this as making a promise – a very important promise....

Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 March 5, 2025 / Ash Wednesday What is Lent? What exactly is Ash Wednesday, what are we observing on this day, and why are we doing it?

Whatever path you see out of conflict, believing you’re right is not an excuse for believers to be harsh, impatient, or unkind. Being peaceable, gentle, and open to reason in the face of thorny issues is a sign of God’s wisdom in us.

“Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness—without it no one will see the Lord.”
Hebrews 12:14 (CSB)
