Finding Spiritual Certainty to be February Message Theme
Do you feel uncertain about your faith? Do you wonder if you can really be a disciple of Jesus? Doubts are a common part of our human journey. But God desires that we feel spiritually assured of his love and enjoy a sense of certainty in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Peter wrote to first…
The Way of Love is Practical
After service this past Sunday, I was discussing with one parishioner my desire that sermons be relevant to today.

October Series
Last week we enjoyed a great report short term missions from Dakota Doney, his friend Heather and their team leader, Sue, from Second Baptist church in Suffield.
