January 4, 2018 by Jim Jamison

Often during the holidays we push through the hectic schedules of life. We find ourselves burning the candles at both ends, and when we get to the end, there is an exhaustion that accompanies that letdown. Unfortunately, after an emotional event, we can have a physical letdown, that causes us to think and act incorrectly. How do we recognize and overcome those times. Join us this Sunday, January 7, at 10:30 am as we walk through 1 Kings 19, and attempt to understand how God enabled Elijah to overcome that physical and emotional meltdown, that accompanied his great victory seen in Chapter’s 17-18. God taught Elijah 6 principles for how to overcome a challenge in your life :

Those who truly celebrate Christmas do so by remembering the profound reality tat God sent His only Begotten Son to die for the sins of all who put their faith in Him. Join us this Sunday, December 24 at 10:30 am as we explore Luke 1:26-38 as we are reminded of the preparation for the first Christmas!… READ MORE
