The End Of All Things
posted on February 22nd, 2012 by Jim Gordon
What will happen when your part in the tale of life is finished? What will the end of all things be like? God pulls back the curtain and reveals the true end of all things in Revelation 21:1-22:5. He doesn't give us all the details, but he gives us enough information to keep us going in the fight of faith.

Speaking of Love....Speaking in Love
posted on February 14th, 2012 by Pastor David Sommer
This is the week in February that love is celebrated and expressed through the gifts of flowers and cards. However, for various reasons, many people feel a bit left out of the celebration, so I would like us to think together about a love that includes all of us - a love that is more profound than the words expressed in a Hallmark card - a love that changes us and calls us to something greater than ourselves.

Hope In The Darkest Hour
posted on February 8th, 2012 by Pastor David Sunday
One of my favorite quotes these past couple years comes from Charles Spurgeon: "Believe that the deepest afflictions are always neighbors to the highest joys. The greatest possible privileges lie close to the darkest trials. The more bitter your sorrow, the louder your song at the end." The book of Lamentations is perhaps the bleakest in all of Scripture. Yet at the very center of the book we find one of Scripture's loudest songs of hope-"Great is Thy Faithfulness!"

Notes From The Middle Of The Night

For those of you who wear glasses, you may have had the experience of going to the optometrist to get that new pair of glasses - either your prescription has changed or your lenses have become badly scratched. Whatever the reason, the optician comes to the table and places the new glasses on your face and all of a sudden, you see much clearer than before. Cancer is like a new pair of glasses.

Adoption by Paul & Rebecca Freidel
posted on January 18th, 2012
What should come to mind to our minds when we think of adoption? Should we as believers look at the adoption of children as a vital part of our church ministry? To answer these questions, we need to first look at the importance of our adoption as sons and daughters of God.

Prayer For 2012
posted on January 4th, 2012 by Pastor David Sunday
We begin this new year in a posture of desperate dependence on the grace of God our Father, through His Son's perfect merit, poured out by the Holy Spirit. With King Jehoshaphat we say, "Lord, we are powerless; we don't know what to do; but our eyes are on you" (see 2 Chronicles 20:12).
