Chris Wall • Luke 9:18-27 ESV
People have always longed to see divine signs that offer hope in both this life and the next. Amazingly, God has provided so much evidence of His presence and His love for humanity.

The cross is the sign bringing hope to this life and the next. Let’s point the world to the cross by living daily walking with the Lord.

Patience and kindness treat others the way we want to be treated. When a person is patience and kind, that person is acting like a child of God. ...
Pastor Chris Wall • Colossians 1:18-23 Last year, we took fourteen weeks taking a long doctrinal look at the church. One of the biggest lessons we learned was that the mission and message given to the church is the only hope for humanity. Not only is the church commissioned to spread the gospel, but the church is commissioned to equip the body to serve the Lord. In this passage, we get a glimpse of what an effective church looks like. Even though the challenges in 2021, we still have everything we need to be an effective church. ...
A reluctant King.An underestimated boy.A nation unwilling to hear the heart of God. It's not a fairy tale or an ancient story of kingdoms long forgotten. It's the story of us. ...
