We are designed by our Maker to seek connection and identification. This drive fills taverns and football stadiums. God put this drive in us to encourage us to connect with other believers. He wants us to depend on each other.

Reclaim the Sabbath
Itf you're struggling with the weight of life, or frustrated by unanswered prayers, or feeling discouraged and alone, or struggling for physical healing, maybe it's a good time to swallow that spiritual pride and go to church. Lives change in His Presence.
Take, Learn, Rest.
Jesus declared that all who come to Him will find rest. Our New Creation Sabbath is a person, not a day. Sure, we still need to take time to rest, contemplate, and marvel at His goodness, but we have a New Creation grace that makes rest our default position.
Let’s Try a Little Faith
As we prepare for church this week, we can make our meeting more than a lecture and a mini-concert. If we come with faith, Jesus will still show up. He hasn't changed!
Stay Steady!
When God speaks to us, we usually believe that it will happen very soon. That's a possibility, but it's not the rule. We see from God's advice to Habakkuk that once we have written the vision, it may take a while. Don't quit!
Barandillas de guía: Discernir la voz de Dios en un mundo ruidoso
Si somos honestos en nuestro deseo de agradar a Dios, no a nosotros mismos, nuestro primer paso es revisar nuestro propio corazón. Al fin y al cabo, todos somos humanos. La mayor parte de nuestro pensamiento gira en torno a nosotros. Todos tenemos nuestras propias experiencias, necesidades y deseos. Naturalmente, interpretamos las cosas a través de esas lentes. Por eso, tal vez sea necesario revisar nuestro corazón.
It is Finished!
Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father because He had finished His work of redemption. Have you ever thought about all that is already yours because of what He did? Take a moment. Stop your work, mental and physical, and be thankful for what's already been done.
Update from Pastor Virgil – August 1, 2025
I'm not very good at advertising, but I want to be sure to keep folks apprised of what's happening. God has been faithful, as always, and He is helping people. Thank you for your support and prayers.
A Song for the Sabbath
It's Sunday.,the Lord's Day. Don't waste it. If you don't know what to do, here's a good template. Church is an oasis in the desert. On this beautiful Sunday, I encourage you to enjoy a day of Sabbath rest that includes the elements of Psalm 92, a Song for the Sabbath.
Las personas necesitan un propósito
Una de las frases más comunes en nuestro mundo cristiano es «Voy a orar por ello». En este caso, estamos hablando de orar por la dirección y el propósito de Dios para tu vida y tu ministerio. Entonces, ¿qué significa eso? ¿Cómo «espero a ver qué me dice»?
