Update from Pastor Virgil
The extraordinary hunger we see for the things of God tells me that something is happening. Lord, help us move to feed the sheep. Maybe more important, help us get hungry ourselves, hungry for You, for your presence, and for your Word.
January Update from Pastor Virgil
Maybe you’ve got someone who’s gone on to glory who loved you and was instrumental in getting you on track with the Lord. If so, I want to encourage you to run well.

It’s time to rethink the instructions to ”pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), “be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12), and “praying at all times in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18). Jesus is our example. We’re never alone, but we’re often out of touch. Lead a life of prayer.
Sunday Supernaturally: Subtly Supernatural
The Spirit of life will impart answers. It may not be “Thus saith the Lord.” Sometimes the supernatural is incredibly subtle.
