Sunday Supernaturally: He’s Alive. Pass it on!
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 1 Corinthians 15:17 ESV He's alive. That changed everything.
Update from Pastor Virgil
Jesus knew HIs mission, and on Easter He passed it on to us. He is risen! We have reason to live!
Do you have a “raison d’être”?
When you know the "why" of your existence, it provides you with motivation, direction, and most importantly, a sense of purpose. In French, they call it "raison d'être," which translates to "reason for being." Purpose changes lives.

Sunday Supernaturally: Fall, Holy Spirit, Fall!
If you’re like me, you don’t want to go to church to get a lecture, you want an encounter. In the Book of Acts was see moments when theology is united with Holy Spirit power to demonstrate, not just describe. Fall, Holy Spirit!
Suddenly Supernaturally: No Worries?
Jesus put worry on the same short list as drunken revelry. It's been over 45 years since my last drink or drug, but it's hard to go 45 minutes without allowing my mind to slip into an obsessive repetition of "what if?” It's an intoxicant that hardens the heart to God and roils the emotions.
