Celebrating America's Freedom One Nation Under God We are celebrating 250 years as a nation. Some believe America is beyond redemption and that the sins of our past are evidence that America should no longer exist. I have a different view. Our Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Our...

A Father's Quiet Influence "The Day I Realized My Dad Was Human" Father’s Day is upon us. It doesn’t receive the same fanfare and attention as Mother’s Day, but that’s okay.

Give to God What is His A Message on Taxes from Pastor Ken When Christ was asked about paying taxes, He asked for a coin. They thought they could trap Him. If He said “no,” He would be accused of rebellion. If He said “yes,” He would be seen as a traitor. But Jesus responded, “Whose image is on this coin?” “Caesar’s,” they said. He replied, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” In other words, give to Caesar what bears his image, and give to...

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ What Easter Means to Us Jesus died for our sins and rose again to secure forgiveness, new life, and a living hope that never fades. “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” ~ Luke 24:5-6 At the empty tomb, they were looking for Jesus in the wrong place. And we often do the same. We look for Him in what’s familiar, predictable, or visible, yet He is alive and at work in ways we don’t always expect. Jesus tells us that He is...

He boldly preached Christ, planted churches, and was instrumental in the spiritual transformation of...
