The fact is, whether we want to admit it or not, money is a key issue when it comes to growing in God. We know this because Jesus spoke more about money than He did about marriage, heaven or hell. In fact, over 60% of what Jesus taught was about our attitude towards finances and stewardship. He taught us

The Westminster Shorter Catechism asks a critical question of all of us today i.e., “What is the chief end of man?”.

For centuries people have been trying to “reach” God through religious systems, works, priests, or charismatic leaders. The fact, however, is, there is no person, government, or system that can (nor should) ever take the place of the Savior of the World.

Luther’s (and scripture’s) claim is that every person should read the Bible for themselves and that only the Scripture itself is inspired. And while issues of authority, inerrancy, clarity, and sufficiency of Scripture were under the microscope in Luther’s day, the sad truth is, these issues are being challenged today too. In fact, when we consider the “authority

We have started a “Series Within A Series” as we prepare to celebrate Reformation Month. We started off this series by looking back at what the Reformation was & why it was needed in the first place and then compare that reality with the state that the church currently finds itself in today.

Last Sunday we looked at the value of Community or put another way, the “local” view of The Church.

We returned to a series that we have touched on before (and will continue to return to as we grow and mature as a church) – Kingdom Values.
