Life can be hard.  Unless of course you have faith.  Faith does not remove trials and obstacles, but it does remove the confusion and allows us to face these life difficulties as the growth opportunities that they are.  Daniel seems to be so unfazed even when threatened by the most powerful man on earth.  I think that is because Daniel’s faith is in the dream giver, the king maker, and the creator of all things.  If God is for...

This Sunday, come and join us as we celebrate Mother’s Day.  Moms are by far one of God’s most wonderful ideas!  Bring the whole family to worship with us on this very special day.  We love you Mom!

This week we will be starting a series on Daniel. Daniel has always been a hero of mine. His loyalty to the Father is breathtaking! When he was a teenager, he purposed in his heart to follow the word of God. He was trained with the best education that the world had to offer, but he chose to lean on the Lord. He become a highly respected wise man while in enemy territory. He faced constant threat, but his love of the Lord kept him above the...

I remember when Fran came through NC. We went without power for a week. I remember my mother getting up the day after that horrible night and asking everyone if we wanted coffee. She got everything ready and then realized, after throwing the “brew” button, that you needed power to make coffee.

Peter has just healed a lame man through the power of Jesus’ name. Or rather, I should say that Jesus’ name healed a lame man through the willingness of Peter to be used! However you say it, one thing is true – it doesn’t make much sense. The people of Peter’s time stand around confused and bewildered. The Gospel told today still befuddles those who, with contorted faces, try to make it fit the system with...

“On the Way.” The disciples often found themselves “on the way.” We are all on our way somewhere. Where are you heading? There is a destination and a companion that will light our paths and make our crooked places straight. These disciples where confused by the events of the previous days, but even more confused by the jumbled stories they where receiving about an empty tomb and sightings of a living Jesus. Do you remember when...

This week, we enter into the most glorious and strangest three days of the Christian year.  This week we celebrate the fact that our Savior brought us back into right relationship with God, but we also ponder the mystery that is the death and burial of the Son of God.  We believe that he was very God of very God, and we also believe that he laid in a tomb through Black Saturday.  Thank you Father for the love shown on the Cross.  Thank...
