Machine Gun Preacher

My new year's day message illustrates the change from our old life to a new life in Christ by telling the story of "Machine Gun Preacher" Rev. Sam Childers.  

CBN Interview Part 1  Part 2

Machine Gun Preacher: Real Life Sam Childers More Unbelievable (Christian Post).



New Beginnings

2 Corinthians 5:17  If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation.
The old things have gone; everything is made new!

As we turn the page on the 2011 chapter of our lives, God is with us to help us forget about what is behind and press on to what is ahead.  

 Join us for New Year's Day worship! Come and learn why we:
1. Hold on to old things we have invested time and and energy into that are not working.
2. Why we keep thinking what does not work will maybe work tomorrow.
3. How God actually helps us let go of the old to receive the new opportunities, understandings, and blessings he has for us.

This is a life changing message that will take you beyond doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, to a place of being positioned for God to truly be your Lord.

Merry Christmas!

Join us for Christmas Day Worship 11:30 a.m. 

May we all experience afresh today the in-breaking of heaven into our lives, the announcement of heavenly messengers that this day to us a Savior has been born, and may we all come to him like the shepherds did that first Christmas.

Jesus, the eternal God is with us. He became a man to save us from the penalty of sin which is eternal death. This Christmas gift of salvation is received when a person believes this good news by faith, and turns to God asking for their sins to be forgiven. Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
