Greetings friends, Today I want to talk to you about memorials in the Christian life. This is important for us to remember—like when we partake in communion. Jesus said that whenever we eat the bread we are to do so in “remembrance of Him.” And whenever we drink the...

Greetings friends, The resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. For those who trust in Jesus, they receive a new life in Christ, a new inheritance in Christ, a new family in Christ, a new mission in Christ, and they are part of a new Kingdom. Like 2...

Greetings friends, This past Easter Celebration was beautiful. The church was buzzing with worshippers gathering for both breakfast and worship. There was a lot of joy being shared around the tables as people fellowshipped. We had many visitors and some new friends...
