5 really important sentences…
Father, in 5 sentences, Paul teaches us the basics in the exercise of our faith. We are equipped by You to rejoice always, in good times and in bad times. It is Your Holy presence with us and in us that enables us to raise our eyes and hearts to You when everything around us seems to be a severe weight upon our shoulders.
Read the Book
Israel – the Chosen or the Enemy?

Core Value of the Week
Core Value 17: Who is your hero? Is there someone you really want to be like?
Do you remember who your first hero was? Probably the trash man (Just love that big noisy truck), a fireman, policeman et. al. When did you switch over to a famous athlete, “Idol” star, or NASCAR driver? Do you know if your heroes love God with all their heart, mind and soul? It would be great if you knew the answer to that question. Those successful people that give God the credit for the wonderful talent and skill they possess are usually worth looking up to.
