According to God's Word, it's from the dust that were created & to the dust we shall return.

Join us, on Resurrection Sunday, as we examine Philippians 3:20-21. We will be encouraged in the future resurrection...

Join us for our sermon, "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God," from John 20:30-31 as we answer these questions, as John summarizes his entire Gospel account.

There have been many ideas and theories surrounding the resurrection of Jesus. Many scholars, even secular ones, agree to the basics of Jesus’ life. They believe He lived, died on the cross, and then something happened to His body, as the tomb was empty. We as believers, believe He IS the risen Christ! One key piece of evidence that this is true, has to do with what happened to the disciples, afte...

As humans, we have an uncanny ability to recognize another human's voice. We can recognize an individual simply by hearing their tone, inflection, modulation & pitch. Such was the case for Mary Magdalene, when she initially mistook the resurrected Jesus' visual appearance for a gardener. It wasn't until she heard His voice, that she identified Him as the Messiah. Join us for our sermon, "The First...

What does the resurrection of Jesus mean to you? What path did the first century disciples take as they grew in the knowledge of Christ? Have you ever found yourself doubting what it is you believe?

Through out human history, mankind has pursued the quest to find longevity. Cyronics is a technology that exemplifies this pursuit through the freezing of the human body, only to be awaken in the future. Unfortunately, most do not know that it's not about longevity, as much as it's about eternity. The pursuit of living a life eternal is only achieveable by God's grace & our faith in Jesus. Our Sav...

Citizens of the United States have been inundated with stories of insurrection since January of 2021. For most of us, words like insurrectionist & sedition were potentially heard for the first time. However, accusations of insurrection have been made for thousands of years. In fact, the Jewish leaders accused Jesus of insurrection against the Romans. Join us as we dive into the account of Jesus st...

Meekness is often mistaken for weakness. This could not be further from the truth. One definition of meek is “Power under control”. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in The Gospel of John. We observe in chapter 18, Jesus being betrayed and arrested. He knows His time has come, but goes along with it willingly. He did not have to allow this to happen. He truly shows us that “Meek is not...

Christian's are like Russian Matryoshka dolls. What's a Matryoshka doll? It's one doll, comprised of various sizes, where each individual doll fits into the size larger.

We'll also witness, Jesus pray for our unity in Him, which reveals God's love to the unbelieving world.

Secondly, he prayed for their spiritual security. Finally, He prayed for their sanctification. Join us for our sermon, "Extraordinary Prayer pt.2," where we'll be...

Often in athletic training, you'll hear the expression: "Pain is temporary, but glory is forever". According to the Word of God, the same is true with regards to grief & joy. Grief is temporary, but joy is forever. The only caveat would be one's definition of joy. There are many blessings that we mistake for joy, which is why it's important to correctly distinguish between the two. Blessings come...

Authenticator of Scripture - John 16:12-15 - Jared Novak by Villas Grace Church

Turnstiles are effective at controlling the flow of a crowd. Typically, they consist of 3 arm bars, that rotate to allow one individual to proceed at a time. Jesus refers to a narrow gate as the entry point that leads to life. Like a turnstile, the narrow gate only allows one individual to proceed at a time. Thus, salvation is based on a personal, individual relationship with Jesus. Join us for ou...

Famous performer and self proclaimed atheist Penn Jillete, once said that he did not mind people evangelizing to him.

Which is unfortunately how many people react to the message of the Gospel. Join us this Sunday,...

Artificial Intelligence is instant help. From Apple's Siri & Google Assistant to Chat GPT & Grok AI, we have instant access to help, almost anytime, anywhere. These are nothing more than a man-made attempt to mimic God, which is why AI will fail us anytime, anywhere. God's instant help is eternally reliable.
