We’ve finished our study on the life of Joseph and with all that’s going on in the world, especially in the Middle East. I feel compelled to begin a series which was scheduled for after the opening of our new Restored Life Center in the spring. I’m calling the series What Happens Next – The Order of the End of Time. We’ll begin the series this weekend and stay with it for a few weeks before pushing the pause button until next year.

Greetings friend,   Debbie and I love this time of year when the weather changes, the trees become bright beacons of colors, and we draw closer to the holidays which remind us of the blessings of God. For the past se

For the past several months we’ve studied the life of Joseph – From Pit to Palace – and witnessed God’s providential hand on each person in the captivating story. God is always at work in front of us, in spite of, the behind scenes of our lives.

This weekend we will see the Blessings After the Storm in Jacob’s family. God blesses Joseph’s obedience and integrity; Jacob’s life of faithfulness; and the nation – His chosen – He’s promised to multiply in both number and influence. I hope to see you with Bibles in hand, and a smile on our faces. God is so faithful and so very good!

Good afternoon friend,   As I write this In Touch update, the framers are beginning to work on what will be our upstairs classrooms where we will, Lord willing, teach adult classes on marriage, parenting, evangelism,

This weekend in our series, called From Pit to Palace – The Life of Joseph, we’ll see Jacob’s response to learning that his long-lost son is alive. He recognizes God’s hand in moving Joseph to Egypt to save people, including the small nation of Israel, from the world-wide famine. When things look hopeless, it’s important to remember that God is both good and faithful. The message this week is titled, “The Wisdom of a Grandfather”. I hope you can join us in-person or online!

Greetings friend,   Last week we celebrated Back to Church Weekend with almost 600 people in attendance! Thank You, Lord, for the opportunity to challenge so many people with Your Word of Truth in these trying times!

We’re excited to see how God will move in the hearts of our legislators as we encourage them through our prayers and phone calls to vote biblically.

We are so excited for Back To Church Weekend! The weekend corresponds with our nation’s Constitution Sunday. This year my heart is heavy for the direction our country is headed. So many people seem to have forgotten how God and our Bible has shaped America from its foundations. Former President Obama stated that “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.” Whatever we once were…

Greetings friend, With the nights getting cooler it can mean only one thing – Fall is upon us! But more than that, it means that Bible studies are starting back up, Back to Church Weekend is almost here, and our annual Oper

In our Study of Joseph this week we will see the 10 brothers + Benjamin return to Egypt in search of the much-needed grain that was necessary to survive during the world-wide famine. On their first trip, they bowed before their brother Joseph without recognizing him. Joseph knew them immediately, although he set out to test their hearts…

Greetings friend,   Last week we saw a glimpse of God’s sovereignty over every life circumstance – good or difficult – when He pulled Joseph out of the prison and placed him in the palace.  And not just in the pala

This weekend we’ll see the grand reunion between Joseph and his brothers. Imagine the intrigue of Joseph’s brothers coming to him in dire need, and he recognized them, but they didn't recognize their little brother whom they threw into a pit and sold off to slavery! WOW!

Greetings friend,   I never thought I’d be this excited about asphalt!  Our parking lot was finished last week and it’s such a blessing to be out of the mud and dust!  Thank you for supporting the work that
