The Greatest Event In History
This month we celebrate the single event of human history which changed the course of the world… the death and resurrection Jesus of Nazareth.

The Belt of Truth

The day of Pentecost, as recorded in the book of Acts chapter two, succinctly describes the phenomenal events which occurred in Jerusalem nearly two thousand years ago. Events that literally shook the “gates of the grave” and caused Satan to be …
Everyday Faithfulness
Consider these words from the scroll of Proverbs: Proverbs 20:6“Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?” Relationships of every type are built on trust.
