Today we live in a TIME where there are more concerns than ever....people are concerned! People are perplexed- afraid- worried- totally comsumed with their concerns.....No matter what we can find HOPE in God's Word. God promises......'to take care of that (perfect) which concerns me.' What an incredible promise we can hold on to!Whatever it is, whatever it may be......God can take care of all your concerns!

Legacy means......Something resulting from and left behind by an action, event or person. What Legacy are we leaving to our children?As father's it's so important that we once again become the 'role models' our children desire to follow. Too much influence is coming from outside the homeDad......we need you to stand up and take your place- God's Way!

It’s so difficult to find yourself in a desert place. On top of everything else, there’s often uncertainty – Have I missed God? Is He mad at me? Am I supposed to be doing something I’m not yet doing? While it is possible to miss God and end up in a rough spot, most likely, you are simply “Waiting on God.” Isaiah 40:31 gives us promise and hope that the time spent waiting on Him is not wasted time.

I know we all want to believe in God and live for Him......but sometimes it's hard when we think He is unfair!To say that the pain we are going thru has a purpose, just doesn't cut it sometimes- especially during our 'time' of great suffering, while the wound is fresh! So where is God in that kind of pain? why would He allow this to happen to me?God's Word has all our answers. You may not see it today, but as you keep trusting Him you will begin to see His goodness.

We need to have a Biblical perspective that will help us to gauge whether we are falling in life or not. How many Christians are 'falling' and don't even realize it?Pastor Jerry takes us on a journey thru Romans chapters 1-8 giving us Biblical perspective and asking us.....What do we say to that? In this passage we learn 6 things-Who shall be against us?He'll give you all you need.No one can charge God's elect.Who can condemn us?Who can sperate us?We are more than conquerors.

In our 'quest' to truely know God we have come up against some major inhibitors. One of those is the fact we just don't pray? We have all the reason why-I don't know how?I don't feel good enough.Why would God be concerned about my 'stuff.'It's boring.How are my prayer even going to make a difference?The list continues with excuse after excuse......but we must begin to develop a prayer life. Listen as we try to help you discover the joy in communicating with God.

In this message we take 'practical principle' from the examples of others (in God's Word) and discover how they will also work when applied to our lives.Whether we want to admit it or not.......we all face the attack of sexual temptation is some degree or another. Are we ready for it? As we look to God's Word we can discover tools to help better equip us.......but it sure helps to also be in the right place!
