Will The Real Jesus Stand Up? Part 1

By Lance Witt on Sep 11, 2017

"It may be that the great sin of the church in our generation is the trivializing of God.

I am deeply convinced that the way you live will be a direct consequence of how you see God."

How To Share Your Faith

By Josh Reich on Jul 15, 2017

Inviting someone to church or sharing your faith about Jesus can be awkward. It is nerve wracking, scary and often times not what many followers of Jesus want to do. Yet, the reality is if you are a follower of Jesus, you are to be a witness of Jesus. (Acts 1:8) That is a key and crucial piece of your new identity in Christ. It is not optional.

Scripture: Acts 1:8
