Jesus, the Christ, will be in our midst as we lift our voices in worship. It doesn’t matter if the band is good or the songs uplifting. It only matters that we praise Him and please Him. When I realize that I am there for Him, not Him for me, miracles happen, and opportunities follow.

Sunday Supernaturally: Less Petition, More Praise
Most of us spend way too much time asking God to give us things He's already given and do things He's already done. What we need is a revelation of what it means to be "in Him." Let's pray for that.
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.
Sunday Supernaturally: A Lystra Kind of Day
A story in the Bible is not just "a bible story." God put it there for a reason. What can I learn? Does my relationship with God look like the one in this story? It's meant to be inspirational and aspirational, and transformational. Let's go to Lystra.

As we go to church today, let’s take a look at why we do what we do. Faith takes action based on the instruction of the Lord and expects the fulfillment of the attached promise. There's so much more to this life than empty ritual!

Election 2024: Blessing or Cursing?
In this election year, it we want our nation to survive, it’s imperative that we bless Israel with our vote. We the people are the source of human authority in this country. We exercise that authority by voting. We are responsible for what our elected officials do in our name. Take time to research the candidates.
Election 2024: Vote Your Principles
This is an important election. There are plenty of people with charismatic personalities who have genuinely terrible ideas. There are others who may not be as attractive or articulate, but they share your values. I'd like to encourage you to vote according to principle.
Sunday Supernaturally: Unity, Generosity, Power
This first description of the daily life of the post-Pentecost church is a bit of a challenge for us moderns. We especially like the part about the great power. Miracles and powerful preaching are great to watch! Most of us are on board with helping those in need. What we often overlook is the two character traits that formed the twin fountains from which these wonderful things flowed.
