Why Evangelize?
by Ryan Young on June 8th, 2022
As believers it seems like one thing that we don’t do in our Christian walk is actively engage people about and with the Gospel. Evangelism. Why is that? Are we afraid to say the wrong things? Do we try to be politically correct? Do we have an apathetic outlook? Do we have the mindset or, just let the church staff do that?

Passion Over Preferences
by Jason Taylor on June 1st, 2022
Worship is a lifestyle that most certainly reaches far beyond just singing. But as a worship leader, I want to share a few thoughts on the musical aspect of worship. Music is such a powerful medium. Music can inspire and lift the soul like nothing else can. Something happens when a heart that has a genuine desire for God is exposed to music that is designed to worship God. Surely the Lord delights in the joyful noise, but my guess is that He delights in the heart behind the noise even more.  Read More

Embracing The Moment
by Ken Hawkins on May 4th, 2022
I come to you as a follower of Christ, a husband, a father, and a grandfather. Realizing that God is using me in these responsibilities. They all intertwine. The key verse that I like to use is Ephesians 5:15-16 ESV, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” I want challenge you to “Embrace the Moment”. We each have 24 hours a day, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds per day. Are we making the most of them as a follower of Christ, spouse, parent, and some of us grandparents?  Read More
