Good morning friends, We’ll have Sunday’s Coming out shortly, but wanted you to be aware of several prayer points in the church today.

Questionable Living Welcome to a new week, friends!  Yesterday, I preached, in part, on Colossians 4:6 – “Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders…” Paul implies that people are watching and they will ask questions about our life in Christ, but we have to live in such a way that we are different from the prevailing culture around us.

Pastors are not immune from the same challenges as …

Something old and something new…. A couple times every NFL season, teams wear jerseys from an earlier era in their history.  My beloved Green Bay Packers forego what I think of as traditional green and gold.  In its place is navy blue and brown garb with “ACME” on the front.  Yes, they really were called the ACME Packers at that point …
