Storytime with Jesus: The Great Banquet
Too often, Christians only invite people like them, or maybe people who are already Christians but who aren’t currently attending church or who are looking for a new church. But they make the safe invite. They invite “church folks”. They don’t think the guy covered with tattoos or the woman who cusses like a sailor would be interested in Jesus. But that’s the point of this parable.
Storytime With Jesus: The Unforgiving Servant
Perhaps your inability to forgive the debts of others shows that you fail to see the magnitude of the debts Jesus has forgiven you.
And Then There Was Silence
We can never say we haven’t heard from God in years. Because God still speaks to each of us – not through a single prophet to the entire nation – but by his very Spirit to each one of us individually.
God Wants Your Whole Heart
In the time of Malachi, much like today, many people’s love for God had grown cold. They were trying to serve him, without it actually costing them much at all. They wanted to live their lives on their terms AND receive God’s blessing.
Tithes And Offerings
How much money should you give to your church? The word,“tithe” means a tenth and is part of the law of Moses. But does that mean that today we are supposed to give 10% of what we make each year to the church? In this message we explore how the tithe and generosity apply to Christians today.

Virtue Signals – Grace
In Christianity, God reached down toward humanity and gave himself as a sacrifice so we could be in relationship with Him. That’s God’s Grace – the Good News of the Gospel. The problem is, many non-Christians don’t see grace when they look at Christians. Instead, Christians are often viewed as Judgmental and Angry.
Virtue Signals – Love
If we want to be Godly, to be representatives of God to this world, then the most important virtue we have to live out is that of love. And not the messed up, twisted and distorted version this world passes off as love
Virtue Signals – Hope
We Christians can hold onto hope, even in the midst of all the negativity around us because we trust that God is in control.
– No ruler has been put in power for whom God didn’t have a say.
– No natural disaster has caught God by surprise.
– COVID wasn’t unexpected, and all the results it brought were within God’s plan.
God DOES have a plan that He will work right up until the day the trumpet sounds and time runs out for this earth.
