    A look at Elijah and how his obedience wasn’t determined by his feelings.

    What type of person does God choose to confront politicians with His word? If you were to picture in your mind that type of person who would it be? Billy Graham? Perhaps he’s held audiences with every American President for forty years. Tony Campola? Maybe, he’s one of the three pastors who ...read more

    When we walk in the sin of this world we become; devastated, dry, barren, desolate void of life. What we need is a spiritual down pour of the presence of God’s blessings in our life.

    TITLE: AN ABUNDANCE OF RAIN TEXT: I KINGS 18:41-46 INTRO: The people had gathered, the altar repaired, the sacrifice laid out, the trench was dug, water applied and fire fell and consumed it all. But the day was far from over. Most evangelists today would have been satisfied with this display of ...read more

    A message to encourage intimacy with the Lord

    A sermon in a series on removing sin as the idol in our lives.

    Last week we discovered that for most of us in this room idolatry is the issue. Sin is usually what we focus on, but it’s just the fruit. Idolatry is always the tree from which it grows. So behind every sin struggle that I have, behind every sin struggle that you have, is a false god that is ...read more

    Fortune cookies, horseshoes, 4 leaf clovers, rabbit's foot . . . Luck. Athletes would often rather be lucky than good.However, living a blessed life is even better than trying to live lucky.

Things like a hole in one, a half court shot at the buzzer, Julie getting me as a husband. Just joking that wasn’t luck that was divine providence! LOL. ...read more

    The Mountain of Battle Today we look at two leaders with very different perspectives about God, Religion and Authority. Our study is not unlike the times we live in. Even in our present age we are faced with two powerful leaders who seem to be destined to square off over God, Religion and ...read more
