Fellowship ~ Advent 2018
One of the best gifts that Jesus brought with His advent is the gift of becoming a friend with God. That friendship is meant to extend to His followers. If you claim to be a Christian, this isn’t an option.
Advent 2018 ~ Assurance
Assurance is a necessary component of our Christian life. In this first message from our Advent 2018 series, we’ll see how assurance can be built into our spiritual life. Pastor Alan shares from his living room as the local weather conditions (impending blizzard) made a service at the church out of the question.
Being Thankful ~ Where Are You Looking?
Being thankful, especially for those things that we’ve come to expect, can be challenging. However, if we’ll simply look for them…
