    Who Is God, really?

    This morning, I want to share my heart for the people on this earth in our time. as we look at our next belief statement. If there is a God, and we believe that all of history, philosophy, and scientific inquiry necessitates the existence of a God, then what we know about God is the…

    The Heart of Evangelism?

    On Thursday, we presented the annual emphasis before our local church. This biblical truth is especially relevant considering the renewed heat of the abortion issue in our nation.
