Send us Fan Mail 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Send us Fan Mail Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that t...

Send us Fan Mail 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; 

Send us Fan Mail 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Send us Fan Mail This Sunday we were joined by Dr. Travis Dickinson. Dr. Dickinson is an author and Philosophy professor at Dallas Baptist University. He spoke about faith and reminded us that Christianity is the only religion that doesn't require works for salvation. Do you only believe in Jesus or have you placed your faith in Him?

Send us Fan Mail 24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God,

Send us Fan Mail 5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Send us Fan Mail 62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Send us Fan Mail I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 

Send us Fan Mail 23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 

Send us Fan Mail It is not unusual to experience confusion in the Christian life. Even the 12 Disciples, who lived side by side with Jesus for years, were often confused about what Jesus was trying to tell them. Jesus makes it clear that He desires First Priority in our lives. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords deserves nothing less.

Send us Fan Mail 16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one's eyes see sleep, 17 then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.

Send us Fan Mail 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

Send us Fan Mail 2 “Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: 3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Send us Fan Mail O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;     my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you,     as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,     beholding your power and glory. 3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,     my lips will praise you.

Send us Fan Mail 3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 6 But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”

Send us Fan Mail Happy Easter! He is Risen! This week we celebrated Easter and took a deep dive into the Transfiguration of Jesus. Pastor Aaron referenced several Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in the life of Christ. Here are all the Scriptures referenced this week:  Luke 9:21-22, Luke 9:28-36, Ezekiel 1:4, 2 Peter 1:16-21, Luke 24:44-45, Mark 1:14-15, Luke 24:4-6, Acts 1:9-11, 2 Cor...

Send us Fan Mail Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.     You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light,     and the earth will give birth to the dead.

Send us Fan Mail 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

Send us Fan Mail "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15  and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised."

Send us Fan Mail 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.”

Send us Fan Mail This Palm Sunday we looked at Peter's Confession of Christ, the first prediction of Jesus' death, and the cost to follow Christ. Do you believe that Jesus suffered and died for our sins? Do you believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God? Are you willing to lay down your life daily to follow Him?

Send us Fan Mail 18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.”
