You Are God’s Dwelling Place

Posted on

This weekend our pastor shared from Ephesians 3:24-21. One word jumped out at me many all the others…dwell. It’s not just that He desires to dwell “with” us but even desires to dwell “in” us.  It’s as if He purchased us as a house and is going to live in us. Furthermore, if we are […]

Free To Love

Posted on

We were not set free so we could freely satisfy our flesh. No, instead we were freed that we might bring the message of freedom to others as well as love and serve them. Satisfying the flesh never leads to freedom but instead draws us back to a place of bondage, keeping us from fulfilling […]

Test The Spirits

Posted on

   We live in a multi-dimensional world; physical, spiritual, mental and emotional.  At times we forget about the spiritual and live primarily in the physical.  Unfortunately it’s like leaving your back door open in a high crime neighborhood. It’s only a matter of time before you will have an intruder. We must learn that the […]
