Victor James - Kids Director 1 Thessalonians 5:17 It’s a very short verse but it says so much. Prayer is our way of communicating with our Abba. HE should be the most important person in our lives as HE is our creator. HE promises to provide for us when we seek HIM first Matthew 6:33. HE gives us protection and keeps us from the plagues to come. He gives us his instructions Exodus 20:1-17 and draws near to us when we draw near to HIM James 4:8. Think about your most import

Ken Haubert - Facilities Read 2 Timothy 1:6-9 The movie “A Great Awakening” centers on the friendship between Benjamin Franklin and George Whitefield during the period leading up to the Revolutionary War. In the story, George Whitefield is an Evangelistic Preacher who is on fire for the Lord, while Benjamin Franklin’s faith is lukewarm, at best.

When Joshua first heard these words, he was standing on the edge of a huge transition. Moses was gone. The people were

Brian Dumas - Elder Read: John 14 I was watching the evening news and one of the stories centered on the recent phenomenon of America’s youth turning to Jesus Christ in large numbers. The commentator claimed a number of polls indicated the reason for this movement was their disillusionment with the world system and our political climate - in particular, preoccupation with monetary gain, immorality, hate and deception that permeates our government.

Nick Klempp – Administration Pastor Read: Ephesians 4:29-32 The Children’s rhyme “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me” never sat well with me, even as a child. I was told lots of words as a kid that I felt really hurt, worse than anything physical, and I was told just forget them or don’t be a baby. To me the physical hurt healed pretty quick and you forgot it but man some of those words still echo in my head today and cause me to pause. Then we
