Next Steps message series

Game of Thrones: how to approach God

How are we to approach God?  God had ordered His expectations of sacrifices in the Old Testament.  As a Christ follower, I believe that Christ is our one and only sacrifice, but does this allow me to approach God in any fashion?  Does God have expectation when it comes to our response to His Kingship?

Nehemiah: restoring&rebuilding

In a time where few people are committed to relationships, career, or education, paying off debt is painful. Most people realize that debt is unhealthy and unsatisfactory but most people do not understand how bad it really is. For the next two weeks, we will examine the process of debt and the illness found within debt. Join us on a Sunday morning to be part of the resourcing we find and the fellowship we offer. God bless.
