Sufficient Grace - Audio
In an Olympic-admiring culture that prides itself on strength, competition, and an ongoing race to be number one, it is painful to accept, let alone admit our weaknesses.
Yet, remarkably, it is paradoxically through our weaknesses that Christ makes us strong.
Bill delivered an insightful message this Sunday on God's sufficient grace as explained through the illustration and writings of the Apostle Paul.
Spike It: Women of Influence - Audio
Just as we’re prone to take the reigns when God has restored our lives to a place of normalcy, the ancient Israelites were no different. In fact, they experienced the same tug-of-war of falling prostrate in submission to God, to replacing Him with their own sense of control and wandering focus as we do today.
This Sunday, we learned about women of influence as found in the book of Judges. We discovered how God used them in mighty ways to direct and win the war for His glory.

Mother's Day can be a blessed day for those with a lifetime of fond memories of their mom to choose from. And yet, this day poses such difficulty for many with painful pasts and even present strained relationships with their parents.
This Mother's Day, Pastor Bill appropriately spoke on Paul's call to the Ephesians to honor their mother and father. He discussed why God gave us this commandment, ways to honor our parents, and the blessings that can arise from doing so.
Intelligent Prayer - Audio
What a powerful prayer Paul gave over the Ephesians in chapter 3, verses 14-21, that Bill unpacked and dove into more deeply in his sermon.
How amazing that intelligent prayer includes understanding and accepting the immeasurable love of Christ, among many other important aspects.
Raised Up - Audio
As we embarked on Ephesians, chapter 2, Pastor Bill asked us to do some heavy-lifting thinking in his sermon entitled "Raised Up."
