Surround yourself with peop...

I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all...

“Most of our problems are not circumstantial. Most of our problems are perceptual. Our biggest problems can be traced back to an inadequate understanding of who God is. Our problems seem really big because our God seems really small. In fact, we reduce God to the size of our biggest problem.” - A.W. Tozer “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your w...

In honor of Mother's Day, our First Lady - Cheryl Curran - takes the platform to share a timely message from Psalm 1. “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, whi...

“I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconcilin...
