As an equipping ministry it’s not always easy to measure or track results. How can you tell when women are equipped? Recently, I’ve been delighted to see our Wednesday Night bible study deepen their commitment to equip women with the Word. Led by teacher, Denise Davis, they’re transitioning to an inductive study method for Colossians. …
God’s Dwelling Place
In less than two weeks, our fall semester of Equip Her bible studies will begin. I’m so excited to see what God has in store for us this year. Many of you have already registered for a class. For those of you still undecided, there is still plenty of time to REGISTER online. Here’s a reminder …
A Love Story
In most of the modern world, romance is thought of as something that happens before marriage. In the Song of Solomon, romance is a lifelong response; an act of each mate faithfully fulfilling the other’s needs. Since God invented the romance of love, marriage and sexual intimacy, let's hear what He has to say! Today, …

Time to Register for Fall Classes

Though I’m never ready to say good-bye to summer, I’m always ready to embrace …

Deliver Us
One final request hangs ominously in the last verse of Matthew’s record of the Lord’s Prayer, “deliver us from the evil one.” For if we need deliverance, that means we have been caught by an enemy. Yes, we have an enemy - the devil. He is the Father of Lies, a disrupter of peace, a twister …
Confronting Satan’s Lies

Forgiven and Forgiving
Last week, Kathy walked us through the passages about forgiveness as a way of life for the believer. We saw that forgiving others is required of those who have been forgiven and want to live in relationship with Jesus. Jesus made a big deal about our responsibility to forgive. And like so many other things …
