When God says it's time for supper it is time for supper! We can trust and rest in Him with confidence that we will be safe.

In Acts 17 the city of Athens was full of idolatry, or false gods. And Paul noticed as he walked by he saw devotions. And he saw one of them said TO THE UNKOWN GOD.

The truth from the word of God will always stand. But sometimes we get convictions. It is important that we are looking at it as a way to grow closer to God and not let our flaws become a bitter seed. We also cannot expect your convictions to be another's conviction.

The tabernacle represents and corelates with us as being the temple of God. We must repent, and be baptized just as the priest had to offer a sacrifice for sins and then wash.

If God is wanting to shake up tradition, who are we to stand in the way of that? To learn more about this, watch today's Sunday school. Worship License #20225921

In Acts Simon thought he could buy the power of God. Peter told him "Thy money perish with thee because thou has thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money."

Fear not Abram, for I am with you. God promised great things to Abram, but Abram had not seen those promises come to fulfilment yet. God told him fear not.

God will not say something and go back on it, if He promised you something, fear not and trust in the Lord while you are waiting for God's promise to come to pass! We had an amazing word from Pastor Chase Alphin. If you have not yet seen tonight's sermon, we highly encourage you to watch it! Worship License #20225921

Our country was founded on God. We believe that this country is meant to be led by God, not that we are equal to God or better than Him.
