Pastor Craig Carter Several weeks ago my wife, Lee, asked, “Where should I put Jesus?” That may seem like an odd question so let me provide a little context. We were putting out the Christmas decorations (or should I say, she was putting out the Christmas decorations). One of our cherished items is a figurine…
Pastor Craig Carter During this Advent season we’re exploring “The Wonder of Christmas.” A wonder is defined as “a sense of awe, admiration, or amazement.” The greatest wonder of Christmas is that it demonstrates the amazing love of God. Because of Christ’s birth, we no longer have to question God’s love for us. It was…
Pastor Craig Carter Today is December 1st and according to the popular song of the season: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” Is that true? Maybe, maybe not. As a matter of fact, many of the things mentioned in the song make it a much less than wonderful time of the year. “There’ll…
Pastor Rudy Olivo I have had in my life the same conversation with multiple men about how each views Thanksgiving versus Christmas.

Pastor Terry Tatum I have had a pretty normal life. I’ve worked hard. I’ve played hard. I’ve had great friends. I know what it means to love and to be loved. Thinking about all of that, it has occurred to me that one day this will all be over with. One day I’m going to…
Pastor Craig Carter In recent weeks we have been looking at how we can become great in God’s eyes. This should be the desire of every believer because being a great Christian, rather than settling for just being a good Christian, enables us to bring great glory to God and accomplish great things for His…
Pastor Craig Carter Our current sermon series is based on the premise that God doesn’t want us just to settle for being “good” Christians, He wants us to become “great.” That’s because He is a great and mighty God who has made us in His image. So far, we’ve discovered that before we can do…
Pastor Terry Tatum The past few weeks we have been in a sermon series entitled Becoming Great. That word “great” has always been intimidating to me. In fact, I’ve struggled with it for a long time. Great = above the normal average. How can I become great? What does that exactly look like? Have I…
