Rev. Nate and Julie Ware I Corinthians 13:13 Faith, Hope & Charity “Faith, Hope and Charity, that’s the way to live successfully. How do I know, the Bible tells me so?” Although it’s been many, many years since I last heard Dale Evans, Roy Roger’s spouse, sing those words, I’ve never forgotten them.

Rev. Nate and Julie Ware Colossians 1:10 Dealing with Darkness Hope, what a wonder-FULL word! Hope, which the dictionary defines as “the feeling that what is desired is also possible, or that events may turn out for the best.” For we who continue the walk of faith, hope is much more, very much more, than just “hoping for the best.” We have faith-FULL assurance that all is well, regardless of…Keep Reading

Nehemiah 11-13 October 27, 2020 “Misshapen Forms of Church Government” Some people contend that the church needs no government since we are all ruled by God through his written word.

Consider the well-known instructions of Jesus concerning our dealing with conflict in the church: “If your brother sins against you, go and…Keep Reading
