1. It's Tradition
Contributed on Jul 5, 2021

5. Deeply Rooted In Jesus
Contributed on Sep 30, 2022
More than anything else, this what I want for you - to KNOW Jesus. To be rooted and grounded in HIM.
October 01, 2022 When Paul was converted that day on the road to Damascus, his passion changed. He went from a denier of Jesus to his strongest and most outspoken advocate. For Paul, it was more than just speaking the truth about Jesus. The deepest desire of his heart was for those under his ...read more

8. Scars
Contributed on Oct 6, 2023
As we celebrate Communion today, let us remember that Jesus’s scars transform our scars from the evidence of our disobedience into “trophies of victory.”
October 07, 2023 Today I want to talk about scars. How many of you have scars? Surgical scars – scars from accidents – big scars, little scars – internal scars, external scars – you, know, the scars from living on planet earth. I have lots of scars: The time a car cut in front of my mom ...read more
