Churches that God uses know why they exist, and they live into the purpose of their existence. And the same goes for its members. So why were we created, and what is our purpose? The answer is found in Ephesians 2:
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Eph. 2:10)
02-05-23 My Brother's Keeper
February 5, 2023
In Genesis 4, Cain asked God a question that was disrespectful and sarcastic, and yet in a weird way relevant to us today. When God asked Cain where his brother Abel was, Cain said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” That is the question I would like for us to consider today: Are we expected to be our brother’s keeper? Do we have any responsibility for the spiritual health and well-being of our friends and neighbors? If we want to be that kind of church, then we must ask ourselves three important questions that clarify our heart and our methods. The questions examine our motives, our direction, and our message.

January 22, 2023
But just as we clothe our bodies, did you know that there are proper clothes for our spirits? There is, and churches that God uses take the time to put on the proper spiritual attire. Paul illustrated Christian growth by using the imagery of putting off one set of clothes representing our old life and putting on others that reflect our new life in Christ.
01-15-23 An Eternal Perspective
January 15, 2023 • Pastor George Gasp
A church with an eternal perspective interprets the events of life from a spiritual point of view. They recognize when the path of culture diverges from the path of God’s holiness, and they take a stand for godliness. A church with an eternal perspective is one that walks by faith and not by sight.
01-08-23 Weathering Satan's attacks
January 8, 2023 • Pastor Chris Weatherly
God has set his mission and vision for the world into motion through the death burial and resurrection of Jesus. That mission is carried out through the church, but sometimes Satan and people can really start to mess things up. This week learn what are some ways a church can be attacked and how to work against them.
