The Jews of Jesus' day did not mind Jesus healing the paralytic but were offended when Jesus forgave his sins. Today we have opposite problem. The Church is comfortable with our message that Jesus forgives all our sins but gets uncomfortable if we say that Jesus heals all our sicknesses. Yet the obvious answer to Jesus' rhetorical question in Matthew 9:5 is it's just as easy for Him to heal His people as it was to save them! - Dec 15, 2018HEALING AND HEALTH: Part 1 – The Fundamental Question

T H E W E A P O N S O F O U R W A R F A R EFor though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but are divinely powerful...2 Corinthians 10:3-4Christians are in a war, but our enemies are not flesh and blood. Our warfare is spiritual and spiritual war requires spiritual weapons! But sadly, many of God's people know little or nothing about their spiritual weapons or how to use them. We hope you can be with us this weekend for this compelling message from Pastor Ray. - Nov 10, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 40 – The Education of a Generation

Train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. - Proverbs 22:6The near total abandonment of God and a radical commitment to the secular worldview in the institutions of American public education has brought our nation to the brink of anarchy and cultural collapse. Our only hope is that God will awaken the parents and grandparents of this generation to repent and return to the biblical mandate to take responsibility for the education of the next generation. The stakes could not possibly be higher. - Nov 3, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 39 – The Chaos of the Cults

We hope you can be with us this weekend as Pastor Ray begins a 3 part mini-series in our War of the Worldviews studies on "Defeating the 5th Column", exposing and expelling the enemies that undermine and hinder the advancement of the Kingdom of God from within.

For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. - Hebrews 2:8-9 (NKJV)The heart of the biblical worldview is the revelation of the Kingdom of God, (the reign and rule of the Lord Jesus Christ), as a present reality awaiting a full fulfillment in the future.

We hope you can be with us this weekend to find out why the Kingdom of God is "The Most Important Subject in the Bible." - Sep 22, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 33 – The Heart of the Matter (Part 2)

ChestertonWorldviews answer the big questions of life and one of the biggest is "What's wrong with the world?" Many Christians would answer, "Sin", and that's mostly right.

We hope you can be with us this weekend for a closer look at the biblical revelation of the nature of the human heart, and why it matters so much for all of us. - Sep 15, 2018WAR OF THE WORLDVIEWS: Part 32 – The Heart of the Matter (Part 1)

But God tells us plainly what we are." - Puritan minister Joseph Caryl, (1602-1673)The same Bible that tells us God created man for dominion and "in His own image and likeness" paints a most painful picture of the condition of man as fallen from God. We hope you can be with us this weekend as we continue our War of the Worldviews series with Part 2 of the answer to one of life's greatest questions: "What is Man?"
