She challenges us to honestly answer the question "Do You Believe the Gospel is Always Tr...

Stop. Drop. Roll.

In this sermon, Jay Mike takes us on a "journey" to explain how being more like penguins and taking the time to "stop, drop, and roll" will lead to greater discernm...

Have you ever wondered how Jesus could say that it was better for him to leave us than for him to walk alongside us?

In this message, we hear from guest speaker Jordan Raynor, author of Redeeming Your Time. We often forget that Jesus confined himself to 24 hours in a day while on Earth. Despite this limitation, he accomplished the redemption of all things.
