Jan 15, 2024 Elisha Freeman — Someone once said that ‘Pride is one of the few diseases where people get sick except for the one who has it’.

Jan 08, 2023 — Elisha Freeman This morning we embark on a journey to many things. Individually, we have made resolutions with the hopes our spiritual life will be richer and full of meaning.

Oct 23, 2022 – Charlie Vasquez — The Great Commission says to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Does the Holy Spirit impact our church and lives today?
Jul 10, 2022 Elisha Freeman Romans 8 is summed up with one word: struggle. We struggle against sin, suffering, and for our text this morning we struggle agains the flesh.

Apr 17, 2022 Elisha Freeman — It has been at least two weeks since Jesus has been resurrected and Peter has not had an opportunity to speak with him. Does this mean Jesus is done with Peter? Can Peter return from his denial of Jesus when he was arrested? Does this mean the things that Jesus promised Peter in Matthew 16:15-18 are now going to someone else? Is there any hope for Peter? This morning we will read through the third resurrection appearance to answer our questions.
Apr 03, 2022 — Elisha Freeman There are many claims that the Bible makes concerning Jesus. None bigger than “He is risen”. What evidence does the Scripture provide that Jesus is alive and not dead? Our lesson this morning centers on this question and seeking the answer.
Jan 09, 2022 — Elisha Freeman At the first of the year, one of the prominent resolutions is to get health. At the top of the list or near the top of the list to make this happen is to ‘Get Active’ or ‘Get moving’. Exercise increases the probability of accomplishing the goal to get health. The NT emphasizes that Christians and their faith need to be living and active. In short, we need to ‘Get Moving’. Over the next few weeks, we will take a good look at how we can get moving and be effective for the mission of God for the Church.
