The church is not a building. It is a gathering. There is a biblical purpose for it and it should be something that makes us glad. The gladness of heart is not tied to the things that sometimes steal our joy. It is tied to the deeper understanding of relationship with Jesus Christ and other believers.

From Deception to Transformation: Embracing the True Gospel

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stubbs

The Apostle John, inspired by the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the dawn of the Dispensation of Grace, penned the book of 1 John to illuminate the true condition of our lives. Deception, wielded by the devil, is a formidable force. Many have fallen prey to his cunning, engaging in prayers, attending Bible studies, or even joining a church, yet their lives remain untouched by the transformative power of Jesus.

Living as Citizens of the Kingdom of God

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stu

Fellowship is a vital aspect of our spiritual growth. It's more than just socializing; it's about opening our hearts and lives to other believers and forming genuine connections within our community. While God doesn't want us to completely isolate ourselves from the world, the most enriching and spiritually uplifting fellowship is found among believers. To flourish spiritually, we must cultivate authentic relationships with like-minded individuals.

Forgiveness

September 1, 2024

Forgiveness is a subject that can cause consternation, anxiety, alarm, or discomfort of the heart. But it was never created for that. It is a gift that frees us to live in the greatest gift of all - peace. It is a peace that guards our hearts and minds in this world and is a powerful force for good. It overcomes the devil, so our past does not turn into our future.
