Pray for the people affected by the Boston bombing and the plant explosion in Texas . People often wonder how people can do such a thing as bombing at a marathon. The prosperity gospel and other false doctrines have no answer for this. But the Bible is clear that we are all sinners. Evil comes from the heart . So the answer is not just stricter laws and legislation (those are needed) but the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It is faith in Christ that changes hearts.  Christ takes evil people, forgives their sins, gives them new hearts, and transforms their lives.  This Scripture from today's Sunday School lesson made me think of the bombing. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 (ESV) : For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.  While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. I see the bombing at the Boston marathon

Kaleem from Pakistan who came to share his testimony with our youth at their youth service.  Here's the report from Deaconess Ersula Jerkins, one of our youth directors... Good afternoon parents, youth service was aw

Good Friday & Easter are over but every Sunday, we should celebrate Christ's death on the Cross and resurrection from the dead.  We should live in light of the Cross. Only when we understand and trust what Christ did for us can we find lasting joy and stop chasing after circumstantial happiness. Lasting Joy vs. Circumstantial Happiness from Albert Martin on Vimeo . Happiness makes us smile; joy fills up our souls  Happiness is laying on the beach; joy is knowing who made the waves  Happiness is recognition of all you do; joy is being loved for who you are  Happiness is drowning your sorrows for a moment; joy is letting it all go forever  Happiness is in the moment; joy is a truth that lasts forever  Happiness is fleeting; joy is eternal  May we all rest in the joy that is only found in Jesus Christ!
