The rich young ruler runs up to Jesus, and he gets down before him and says I’ve done it all. I’ve checked all the boxes, and I’m wildly successful. And yet there’s still something is not right, something is missing. And the Bible says, Jesus looked at him and loved him/.He saw what really had a hold of this man’s heart. Jesus didn’t want this man’s money, he wanted this man’s HEART.

The condition of our hearts determines how we receive God's Word. The parable provides a mirror for us to assess the condition of our hearts and make adjustments so that God's Word can bear fruit in our lives.

In Mark 1, we come across Jesus healing a man of leprosy. In Jesus' time, leprosy was a prevalent disease that caused physical, emotional, and spiritual decay. Jesus proves to not only be able but also willing to heal this man and change his life forever.

The vision of our church is to reach our friends and family with the life-giving message of Jesus, to see them become fully devoted followers of Christ. We do this by living a Christian life, telling others about the Gospel, and surrounding ourselves with other believers.

A new year is an opportunity to hit reset on life and get yourself a fresh start. Maybe you find yourself coming into this year feeling stuck. By God’s grace, you get a new set of 12 months. And you can make some changes so that you don’t end up making the same mistakes that you made in years past.

Everyone has things they are afraid of in this life. Hundreds of phobias exist for the fears people face today. In spite of our fears, we must trust that God is faithful and obey what He calls us to do.

Everyone has made mistakes. It is part of life. Some mistakes we make actually lead to funny stories later on in life. But there are also mistakes in life that are the opposite of this. There are mistakes we make that are not funny, that we wished we could forget. If we are not careful, we will live under the umbrella of our mistakes and constantly feel weighed down by shame and guilt. Learn how to overcome the guilt and shame of mistakes and live in the freedom that comes from Christ.

So many people get nervous or anxious about the return of Christ, but the Bible doesn't. The Bible tells us that when you really understand what's happening, it should give you comfort, strength, and confidence to face the future because we know how it all plays out.

When it comes to the end times, the Bible is clear that we should not only be ready but to also focus on the correct things. God is far more concerned with who will are when Jesus returns than us knowing that time or date He returns.

The greatest adventure that you will ever go on in life is to do what God has for you to do. Nothing else compares to that. Nothing comes close to the feeling of God working through you. God has never made anything without a reason – not once.

The church is growing, and we have a lot to celebrate! And there are so many stories right now of people going all in following Jesus. God is moving and we’re so HOPEFUL about the future! Here’s our heart for what we hope to see IN this house

Vision happens by default or design. Either you determine the vision or someone else will. Godly homes don’t happen on accident but rather they are built. We build our homes on God's Word, accepting the responsibility He has placed on us to lead and, by His Spirit, we adopt His vision over our own.
