Practicing the virtues of Christ

By Allie Adams | June 1, 2022

We begin our journey with Jesus with salvation.  As wonderful and miraculous as that is, it is just the beginning.  What follows is an onward journey of sanctification – the process of spiritual formation, growth and maturity.  God does this work in us, confirming us to His character from the inside out.  However, it does…

To Fear or NOT to Fear

By Lance Brown | May 24, 2022

We all have fears that we live with everyday.  During the beginning of the COVID pandemic, I talked with a LOT of people about the fear of this virus that we knew virtually nothing about.  Was it going to be largely fatal?  Was it going to be highly communicable?  Was it going to be like…

I can’t believe that Summer is almost here! It seems like the last year has just flown by. At this time last year, we had 5 students TOTAL enrolled at Little Lambs Preschool. Now we are preparing graduation for 13 students and have a waiting list to attend. God has been so faithful to make…

Unbelief Locks the Treasures of Heaven

By Seth Gatchell | May 3, 2022

John 16:8 When he (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; “…sin because people do not believe in Me.” Sin is more than just doing wrong actions or not doing what we ought.…

By Lance Brown | April 25, 2022

So I got to spend a little time up at the lake last week.  It was cold.  The air temperature was about 40 F in the morning and the water was a crisp 65 F.  The effect of the morning sun, was a beautiful “smoke on the water” effect that just made me appreciate the…

A Hymn From My Father

By Lance Brown | March 28, 2022

As I come upon my parent’s anniversary, my thoughts sometimes linger back to when I was a child.  We would visit grandpa’s farm, in my dad’s old blue pick-up truck, which he named Beulah.  In a deep, rich bass, he would sing a hymn that has become a favorite of mine, and it would forever…

LOST, Part 2: The Downward Spiral of Man

By Lance Brown | March 20, 2022

We continue to week 2 of our new series: “Lost.”  While claiming to being “open-minded” we actually are quite closed-minded, only hearing what we want to hear, only believing what we want to believe. Instead of being driven by rationality, we are driven by our passions and desires–for either lesser things, or wrong things. This has…

By Mark | March 20, 2022

The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.   God calls upon His people to sing and rejoice, then He sings and rejoices over them. Stop and…
