Blessed, Stressed & Depressed
December 17, 2017 • Pastor Blake Wilson
We continue in our series Set the Captives Free, Pastor Blake teaches from the book of 2 Corinthians and poses a major question to everyone. How are you doing? No, how are you really doing? Many time when we are asked this question we give a "christian" answer such as "blessed and highly favored".

Was I Born This Way?
November 5, 2017 • Pastor Blake Wilson
We are ALL born into sin. We were born to crave and fulfill our sinful pleasures and lustful patterns. In this present day, we are embracing sexual culture instead of scriptural culture.
