The brightest lights cast the starkest shadows. Through the darkness of the cross shines the light of the world. Some step into the light and other's remain in the shadows. In Mark 14:1-11, Mary’s worship revealed the darkness of Judas’ heart and foreshadowed our need for the cross. The Shadows of the Cross begins this week with part 1: "Don't Miss This."

 Today Dr. Al Draper, a true man of God who has served in our community for over 40 years, preached in our services as Pastor Lash was leading a "revival" week at Bethel Baptist Church in Whitewright, Texas. Join us as Dr. Draper takes us through John 10.

 Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Joshua, David, Ruth, Esther, the Bible is packed full of moments when courage meets faith. God sized dreams collide with our senses of fear and logic. They unmask our insufficiencies and reveal God’s complete sufficiency. God sized dreams demand that we face our fears and trust in God rather than ourselves. Join us this Sunday at 8:30 or 11:00 as we continue our series Small Things/Big God with part 3: Rocks and Courage--The Story of David and Goliath.

 Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). To experience God's will in life, trust is a must. Yet, trust often bumps against our desire for safety, our sense of logic, and the emotional walls of protection we build for ourselves. How do we react when God calls us to be a part of something that demands trust? Join us this Sunday at 8:30 or 11:00 as we look at the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho in a message entitle "Trumpets and Trust" (Joshua 6:1-20).

Is there really such a thing as true love, and, if there is, what does it look like? The Bible says in I John 4:8, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” Our Heavenly Father brings definition to the mystery of love. He shows His love to us, teaching us how to show our true love to others.

What has God called you to be a part of that’s BIGGER than you? God sized dreams often collide with our senses of fear and logic. They unmask our insufficiencies and reveal God’s complete sufficiency. God sized dreams demand that faith transfers from us to God.
