Life is full of movement. Between work, wrestling, swimming, and jiu-jitsu with my boys, the days are packed. The schedule is relentless, yet I cherish the time spent together through these activities. But there’s something uniquely special about those quiet moments after the hustle when I ask, “Boys, do you want a boys’ night?” Almost...
Download this week’s prayer sheet. The prayer team thanks you for praying along with them over these requests!
A certain man was sitting in service on a Sunday morning and noticed up on the platform (high place, altar) was an arrangement of flowers which was once a delight to look at and a blessing to the platform. As he stared at the flowers, he noticed that they were almost entirely dried out and...
