"Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way." Our words have power - they can produce death and life. We can tame nearly every animal on earth yet we cannot control our tongues. When a wrong is done to us it is our natural reaction to retaliate. In todays age of technology it is much easier to retaliate via the internet and social media. Our words matter so much to God that we will be judged for every idle word that we say. God tells us to bless those who persecute us, love our enemies, pray for those who have hurt you, and in doing so we will receive a blessing.

Feed God's Flock
February 21, 2021 • Pastor Jim Amador
Jesus has established His church to make disciples and to expand His kingdom in earth. Within the church He has established leaders to help guide the flock, grow the flock, and to solidify the faith of Christians. To be planted in a biblical church is vital for our growth in Christ. Satan is prowling around like a lion, seeking whom he may destroy. We must be vigilant and properly equipped to fight off his temptations!
Suffering For God's Glory
February 14, 2021 • Pastor Jim Amador
Suffering most often is viewed as a negative thing, and it is without Christ. As Christians, our suffering can ultimately bring glory to God. There are many who have suffered before us in similar ways. We are not alone. Just as a weightlifter needs a spotter, God has given us fellow Christians to help us through our sufferings. In many cases, the degree in which you suffer is related to how you handle the situation which caused you to suffer. It was once stated, "The Christian life is a banquet because God has invited us to the table of salvation, but it's not a picnic."
Christ, Our Example
February 7, 2021 • Pastor Jim Amador
Many times in our lives, God allows suffering and despair caused by sin to bring us to a point of repentance. When we deny the leading of the Holy Spirit concerning the conviction of sin, it's only a matter of time that we will suffer the consequences of those sins. The results of those consequences should bear the fruit of no longer living in the sin of our flesh but to live for the will of God. God works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose!
