We are God's masterpiece. But we often believe the lies. We question our worth. We feel insecure. Maybe you look in the mirror and wish something were different. You think, If only this one thing about me could change. We question how we’ve been put together. But God’s perspective? We are his masterpiece. The 1 st chapter of the Bible makes it clear that humans are the climax of God’s creation. We...

Everything is going to be alright." Join Pastor Jonathan S...

If you're having a tough time right now, praise God, even during the trials and difficult times of your life. Stay in the boat! Learn about our Savior. Spend time with Jesus. Join Pastor Scott Lessing, campus pastor of our campus inside of Lorain Correctional, a...

Our relationship with Jesus should influence every part of our daily lives. In the old testament, Micah tells us to love mercy. To love others like Jesus would love them. Even when there are people who disagree with you. Don't be rude. Don’t seek revenge. Love mercy. Join Pastor Jonathan as he tackles another tough topic this week and evaluates how Jesus followers can respond to Ohio Issue 1 on th...

We are responsible to manage the gifts God has given us, always seeking to serve and improve in the areas he has assigned us.

You cannot worship Jesus at the table of Communion if you ignore the unity of the church. We are not just connected to Christ by faith, we’re connected to one another through love.

No matter where you've been, where will you go starting today? God will hel...
