When we embark on a new project we should consider whether we are adequate in several areas to complete the task. Do we have resources, manpower, financial ability, stamina, etc. to finish the job we set out to do? In Christianity we should consider that our main resource is none of the above. Jesus is that resource and with Him at the helm, there isn't anything we can't do! "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," (Phil 4:13) isn't just a nice sounding phrase or slogan. It is a majestic declaration of our Master, Savior, and the Head of our church. It is true that without Christ we can do nothing, but through Him we can do all things. We do not doubt this fact. We may not fe
One of the reasons we enjoy our Wednesday evening studies is the deeper understanding we get by going deeper into the study of the Bible. It's always good to hear a sermon but maybe it's even better to become a part of the discussion and response of the biblical study. If you have been skipping our Wednesday services, please come on back. We miss you! Tomorrow is Good Friday. How do you feel when you think about the crucifixion which Good Friday celebrates?

Thanks to everyone in our church as well as the Nazarene church and others who helped make this thing possible. Though we didn't have the attendance we had hoped for, we put forth the effort for our Lor
My parents used to ask me that question quite often! I usually didn't have a valid answer. You may ask, "Where have you been?" Well, I am sorry, but I have been really busy the last couple of weeks. It isn't that I didn't remember about the blog, but I had to dedicate my limited time on other church work. Please allow me to brag on our church a bit.
