Love Like Jesus
by Karrie Nealis - Office Manager on December 5th, 2024
I think we all have at least one friend that we can tell anything to. The one we pour our heart out too because we know that we can trust them. Friends like that are special gifts. I was able to spend some extended time this summer with my dearest friend, other than my husband of course, and the time was much needed and refreshing. I came home with new perspectives on some things. It was wonderful...  Read More
Obey to Remain
by Jeremy Jentzen - Devotional's Editor on December 4th, 2024
One of, if not the main, misconceptions that people believe about Christians is that life becomes easier once you have been saved. Let me say, I know from experience, there is not a shred of truth to that statement. The moment you are saved, you have entered the phase of sanctification…the process of becoming holy and becoming more like Jesus. The pruning process of sanctification is where the rub...  Read More

“The Source for Success” (Exclusive Source)
by John Scally - Lead Pastor on December 1st, 2024
Main Point and Overview:    “Being in the building doesn’t make you a part of the team!” Remember, that was Judas. He professed Jesus, but his heart was far from Kingdom of God priorities. Jesus in some of his most impactful words, on the verge of sacrificing his life, gave a pointed challenge about authenticity. In fact, he used the imagery of Israel’s most prized symbol to make his point. The vi...  Read More
You Produce Evidence
by Sarah Robertson - Assistant Office Manager (GB) on November 30th, 2024
According to the “Dietary Guidelines for Americans”, women are supposed to have 1-2 cups of fruit per day and men should eat 2-2.5 cups per day (sorry guys!). Thankfully, fruit is pretty desirable. It's packed with natural sugars making it a no brainer to eat! Check out the produce aisle, the fruit seems endless! From blueberries and strawberries, to star fruit and dragon fruit (What even are thos...  Read More
