The Barnabas Way (2/18/18)
February 18, 2018 • Isaac Smythia

Bursting with Pride (2/11/18)

Surprising Prayers (2/4/18)

On Sunday, February 4, 2018, Pastor Chad challenges us to pray and then wait for the amazing surprises God has planned.

Long Story Short (1/21/18)

People are God's priority. He is constantly working behind the scenes on behalf of believers and non-believers alike to draw everyone closer to Him.

January 14, 2018 • Dr. Wave Nunnally
