“With repentance and baptism in Jesus’s name, we are awakened to the Holy Spirit, the presence that is upon us, fills us and empowers us, will enable us to share the good news of Jesus in word and deed as Jesus and the early church did.”

Now, A Beginning
“. The physical and the spiritual were part of the story of Jesus. THE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL are part of OUR story and OUR witness and OUR testimony.”
You’re Loved
“When connected to the vine of Christ we grow in healthy ways and produce fruit that others feed from and grow strong because of the life of Christ in and through us.”
You Have No Idea (Like a Vine Through a Branch)
“I’m inclined to believe WE’RE SIMPLY NOT AWARE how connected we really are to Jesus.”
The Shepherd
“How often in this life have we thought IF WE JUST HAD SOMEONE TO FOLLOW and not be afraid of what might happen in the moments ahead?”
This Must Be Sufficient
“All YOU can do is tell YOUR story, the story or stories of YOUR encounters with the Lord Jesus Christ, YOUR experiences of repentance and forgiveness of sins in His name. All YOU can do is tell YOUR story, and this must be sufficient, because you are witnesses of these things, of sins forgiven, of great joy and peace, of assurance you are his child and the story of his blood, and his name are sufficient for YOU.”
Believe
“Where was Thomas when his friends were together behind locked doors? They were behind locked doors out of fear, fear of those who never came. BUT JESUS CAME.”
Meant to Share
“Despite the skepticism of our world or our neighbor, we have something to share, and we can trust the listener, the reader, and the friend can take our word for it.”
He Stirred Our Faith
” Jesus enters OUR LIVES AND OUR CIRCUMSTANCES triumphant over any enemy and affliction of spirit, soul or body. He enters today our conditions of depression or misery AS OUR VICTOR.”
Not Where It Ends
“We so often live our spiritual lives as those who search for a path of access to the God of our salvation. Such a pursuit or struggle wears us out in the long run. We then find meager contentment in believing we’re saved, and heaven is our home when we die. Scripture, however, conveys to us WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION.”
