  • Be Wise With Your Wealth

    Jesus says use your wealth to make friends in the kingdom above. Give to the glory of God. Why would we do any of this? We are reminded through the Scriptures, we were reminded in our prayer tonight, that we have a Savior who gave. A Savior who was rich, who became poor, so that we who are poor might become rich. A Savior who gave His life as a ransom, a Savior who reminds us that no greater love has any man than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends. For his friends. That’s why we give.

  • A Dream Come True

    I invite you turn in your Bibles with me tonight to Psalm 126 as we continue our study of the Psalms of Ascent. I want to thank Nathan for the songs that he chose tonight, always of course does a wonderful job, but the songs just fit so well with the psalm that we’re going…
