Dr. Ken Rathbun shares how God equipped and design us.

The noble (rich) and wise see the Word of God as foolishness,

Man, in attempting to do right, may have many ideas of what it means to be a Christ centered church, but Pastor Dean preaches through Colossians 1:9-29, showing us what the Bible itself says a Christ centered church should look like.

This Sunday Pastor Brown took us to 1 Cor 2:14-3:3 and expounded on the controversial issue of what a Christian’s sanctification should look like.

Pastor Taylor reveals the “secret” ingredient to a prospering spiritual life—the Word of God. While wildly apparent to most that the Word of God is the catalyst to our spiritual growth, Pastor Taylor reveals the mighty power of God’s Word by reflecting on what it accomplished according to the Bible itself, and he also shows us how we too can have success in our spiritual life if we treat the Bible as the Thessalonians did—as God’s very words.

Our God is not like that of other religions. The God we worship completely saves by the gospel He designed from eternity past, and we can exalt Him because of the gospel, the living gospel which changes us and is available to all people.

How does Mary and the disciples respond when Jesus appears to them?

Jesus is now at the right hand of God the Father interceding for us.

He saves us and keeps us saved. Once save we can have a new relationship with God the Father.
