Galatians […]

Sunday’s main service is NOT held on Sunday due to rigorously held dogma so much, but it IS in respect to the holiness of the Sabbath day as declared by God BEFORE mankind fell. Quite literally the Sabboth was declared holy FROM THE BEGINNING. We know that Sabboth was most likely our modern day “Saturday”, but our Lord was risen on what we call Sunday, so it seems appropriate.
In addition to this, we worship on “Sunday” out of convenience because we believe Jesus’ words which teach us, “Man was not made for the Sabbath but the Sabbath for man.” As such, Sunday is the day MOST OFTEN recognized as the day to worship within Christian circles so that is when we have our main service of the week.
We use this day as the day we press forward as a community of believers into Biblical teachings which our leaders believe God is immediately guiding us into for our maturity and Spiritual growth. We do not have Sunday night services in part due to the fact that we do not want time constraints to dictate our worship.
As a community of grace we are interested in ministering to others, outside our immediate assembly and encourage others to participate in our lessons and grow with us.
Celebrating our Resurrection with Jesus!

Before we started this morning I felt like playing a song from Michael Card which captures the necessary tradgeties of Jesus’ betrayal and crucifixion. It is called ‘Why‘ and it is from his album, “Known by the Scars“. If Christians had an official, biblically sanctioned holiday without question the day representing Jesus’ resurrection from the dead would be on the top. Probably followed by Pentecost and the issuing of the time […]

Unscriptural expectations turn Hosannas into Crucify Him

The actual event was little more than a superficial hero’s welcome by the Jewish community into Jerusalem. It was something the disciples were quite unprepared for in that they would never have expected it! The weeks leading up to this event had been fraught with threats […]

Suffering… the price of Intimacy

We’ve been talking about our pursuit of knowing Jesus relationally in true intimacy through experiencing Him. The payoff is becoming like Him. We can only become like the Jesus we see. Or said another way. We will only become like Jesus to the degree that we have come to know Him. Paul said in one of his most well known statements, found in Php. 3:8-11, “(8) More […]

To not just desire, but REQUIRE Him
Podcast: Download (Duration: 1:09:48 — 95.0MB)Subscribe: Spotify | RSS Sunday 03/19/23 Message: To not just desire, but REQUIRE Him ***Video is HERE*** Share this: To not just desire, but REQUIRE Him Since the beginning of the year we’ve been focused on words found in a passage in 2Peter. Those words are, “yourpursuit of knowing Jesus”. The word KNOW is the Greek word epignosis and means more than can be simply captured in words, but a reasonable stab at it is – to come to know more intimately by way of experience. According to Peter the pursuit of this knowledge […]
