In today’s message, we will look at Peter’s usage of a paradox in the reality of both suffering and blessing for his listeners. The Bible is filled with paradoxes that pertain to the Christian life. Graduates and believers in general need to understand how to navigate this new age in which we find ourselves. The title of this weekend’s message is “THE AGE OF PARADOXES.”
This weekend, we will step back and take a look at the faithfulness of God toward His people. Throughout Scripture, God gave His people constant reminders of His faithfulness. He has done the same for us this year and this message will help us remember that He will never let us down. The title of this weekend’s message is “FAITHFULNESS.”

According to some surveys, about 70% are broken by the end of January. This is especially true when... Continue Reading →
Some people don’t like to make resolutions. “Why make promises you can’t keep?” “Why feel bad over broken promises?” Although, resolutions can be a waste of time and an unnecessary source of self-condemnation, it is still wise to strive towards something than none at all. I personally think that it’s a good thing to make the right resolutions. Many of our resolutions are regarding bad habits and behaviors that we want to stop. Unfortunately, we have a poor understanding of why we do the bad things we do. In other words, why we sin? No wonder we go about the wrong way to stop sinning. This message will get us on the biblical path to repentance and walking in holiness. Trust me when I say – “This is one message you don’t want to miss!”
