A Man Had Two Sons
on April 2nd, 2025
By Elliotte Pearson (Elder): Pastor Aaron has said many times, “church is for you, but not about you.” I would take that a little further to say that the Gospel is for you, but it’s not about you. We are not the center of the Gospel, and too often, we will read the Gospels like it is about us.   Read More

By Jake Haggard: For years, I read the story of the Prodigal Son and found myself identifying with one of the brothers. As a child, I was familiar with the dynamic of sibling rivalry, the longing for attention and sometimes feeling that one was loved more than the other.   Read More

Living for God's Glory
on March 21st, 2025
By Guest Author | Ashley Piner: Paul shares a wealth of valuable information throughout 1 Corinthians. He talks about the importance of unity within the church, the functions of the body of Christ, how the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual gifts to build up the Church, the need for reverence and order in worship, and one of my favorites — 1 Corinthians 13 — where he teaches that love is the greatest virtue above all others.   Read More
