worship celebration time:
In a tough economy, our fear drives us to focus on making a living through what we can get, instead of God's priority on making a life through what we can give.
Join us in worship this week as we welcome Pastor Mike Bowie back to the platform. Pastor Mike Slaughter will host as together we revisit the passion and purpose of a dear pastor, friend and servant, and pray God's blessing upon the Bowie family.
James calls us to be people of the Pentecost--not people of prejudice--living together in multicultural community as we demonstrate on Earth the inclusiveness of heaven.
As we move through life's transitions, we can choose a Kingdom focus...or a world focus. Learn the life principles that dare us to choose the path of life blessings.
Healthy eating and exercise matter, but can't prevent the second-hand pollutants that cause disease and distress. This world's moral and mental pollutants are just as dangerous! Yet, James calls us to lead unpolluted lives--healthy food for the mind, sobriety for the soul, and the focus on sacrificial service that fulfills God’s purpose.
God is impressed by performance—not empty promises. The truest expression of worship we can offer to God is sacrificial service to the most vulnerable.

Are you a fan - or a player? A bystander - or an activist? Only a dreamer - or also a doer? It's time to close the gap between what we know...and what we do.
Too many in the church today have confused American ideals and our own "pursuit of happiness" with biblical truth! The book of James calls us to stop the excuses, clean up the filth, and set healthy, moral boundaries that honor God.
Uncontrolled anger destroys both us - and those we love. God's righteous anger, however, propels us to serve the poor, oppressed and defenseless, placing us at the heart of God's purpose.
Even when we are unaware, God’s Spirit leads us at all times to fulfill God’s purpose in our lives.
In a post-911 environment of anxiety, fear drives us to avoid risk. Easter faith empowers us to seize the gift of today and truly experience life.
Despite temptation's ability to torpedo character in an instant, Christ has come before us preparing the way to restoration.
Although we all fall at times, we also experience the gift of mercy and renewed strength through Christ.
To understand our place in God's world, we have to fully understand the power and greatness of God's creation.
When we ask for wisdom from God, the answer is not always rational. Trusting that wisdom is what gives us the power to step out in faith and move forward...
When faced with trials, it's easy to turn to the familiar question: "why?" In faith, it's not about the WHY--it's about the WILL of God.
Each of us has a gift that we can give the world. What is yours? Discover the...Mission Revolution
