There's an army rising up. God is bypassing traditional man-made methods of reaching people and He is doing it Himself.

When life throws us a curve ball, what we turn to first matters. Sometimes it's hard to know where to turn to get the help we need, but the Bible has answers for us. In this episode, Clayton Ritter shows from the book of James how your source becomes your master.

John chapter 12 tells of a woman who once poured a very expensive jar of perfume over Jesus as an act of worship.

In this episode, Romey Ritter explains how not everyone will understand just how expensive love can be.

The Old Testament prophet Isaiah describes a vision he had of the throne room of God. These magnificent creatures called Seraphim were there, worshipping God day after day. Their name means "burning ones" because of their appearance and their burning love for God. But what happens when the fire starts to fade, when the passionate love you once had for God seems like barely a spark? In this episode...

Jesus said in Mark 16 that in His name we will drive out demons and place our hands on sick people and see them healed. We, those who believe, will do it!

Clayton Ritter shares with us this week how God's plan for this is through a people that will step out and do this just because "Dad said we coul...

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Satan is the father of lies.

This week, Romey Ritter shares part 2 of her message "Seek My Face". This was a unique service after our building lost power due to a storm.

God's presence and glory are revealed to any disciple who would seek His face. David wrote in Psalm 27:8 "Your face, Lord, I will seek."
