08 Jun 2016

Our God is so big, so strong and so mighty there’s nothing our God cannot do.  He is also so big and His mission is so mighty and global, that He is also not bound by our buildings, budgets or blueprints.  He is everywhere, always on His mission of seeking to save the lost.  While…

Acts 1: Unlimited Power!

02 Jun 2016

IT IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT I AM FAIRLY FAMILIAR WITH NOW.  As the traffic light turns green at the corner of The Ponds Boulevard and Stanhope Parkway, there is frequently a Subaru WRX or Commodore SS V8 behind me that pulls out and roars past me up the hill.  I feel the urge to floor…
