Let Your Light Shine
on December 30th, 2024

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:14-16In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes His ch...  Read More

The Gift of Security
on December 25th, 2024

Jesus Is the Messiah
on December 24th, 2024

The Center of God’s Will 
on December 20th, 2024
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 6:23)    You have probably heard this verse many times before.
