I was encouraged to know that we have three new groups beginning over the next two weeks and there’s plenty of room for people to get plugged in. I was encouraged because of the ideas that were shared [...]

Today was an awesome day. Let me hit just a few highlights:
Three people acted in faith to receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ! Praise God!!
I missed setup because I felt I needed to focus on tuning the message this morning. I guess I’m not really needed on the setup team because [...]

Have you ever had one of those moments? I’m sure we all have. There are times that I wish I could just rewind the clock and get a do over. Today, a dear friend of mine shared some really sad news and although my heart hurt for him and his wife, I never stopped to [...]
