Does it really matter where you go to church? Does it matter what you believe as long as you are sincere? John warns us that one of the greatest dangers for the Christ follower and for the church are false teachers, or as he calls them "anti-christ". How can you know if someone is a false teacher and what can you do to protect yourself and your church? John has an APP for that.

As Christ followers we were redeemed to have an intimate relationship with God; John calls this "Walking in the Light". In theological terms it is called "sanctification" or the fellowship we have with God as we are led and guided by the Holy Spirit to be made more in his image. Along that journey we all face distractions that hinder our walk, but none greater than the allure of the world. Listen as we heed John's warning and learn an APP for dealing with those distractions.Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

What does it really mean to "Walk as Jesus Walked"? Jesus states that anyone who wants to be his disciple must follow him but how can we do that?

Listen and find out why most Christians find it hard to follow the road less travelled.

The Christian life is about the journey not the destination and we were created to share that journey in community with others. Since sin has been defeated, we can not only have an intimate relationship with God but with other believers. What robs us of that fellowship is our unwillingness to be real, genuine and authentic, even in the church. Listen and find out the Apostle John's APP for that problem. We will never find unity in the body of Christ until we can be authentic. Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

John thinks so, and in his clear and concise manner he describes how that fellowship can be lost and the personal consequences that affect everyone around us when it happens. We were created and redeemed to "Walk in the Light"; to experience the fullness of an abundant life - do you have that App?

We were honored to have Alex share his testimony in both services on Sunday, August 11th. As a child Alex lived through and witnessed some horrible attrocities during the Rwandan genocide of the 1990's. With family members and guardians being killed in front of his eyes, Alex and his siblings were sent to an orphanage where he recieved an Operation Christmas Child shoebox that opened his heart to the love, grace and forgiveness of God. Listen to Alex's testimony as he shares how God provided an opportunity for him to go back to Rwanda and deliver shoeboxes to his old orphanage and also visit the prison holding the very people who murdered his family.

The final message in our study of Nehemiah looks at the legacy that Nehemiah leaves behind. In Nehemiah 13, we see Nehemiah reveal his motivation for all he has done; and we also get a glimspe of his passion. All of us leave a legacy; when we leave schools, when we leave a job, for our children, our grandchildren, our communities. The real question is what kind of legacy will it be. Listen to find out!

Do you know the difference between "making" a promise or commitment and "keeping" that promise or commitment? Many in the church today seem to have a "keeping" problem.
