Hope: More Than Wishful Thinking
Hope: More Than Wishful Thinking Isaiah 40: 21-31 December 1, 2019 Fog – Have you ever observed it from your front door? Have you ever walked in it? Have you ever driven your car through it?

How Good is God? Psalm 100:5 November 17 and 24, 2019 Pastor David Streets If you are a parent, there was a moment in your life when you taught your child a deeply profound truth about God.

SEEING BEYOND OURSELVES
SEEING BEYOND OURSELVES Mark 12:41-44 October 6, 2019 Pastor E. David Streets Are you an easy mark with a soft heart? Are you one of those people who quickly gives when someone asks? Perhaps it’s the Girl Scouts selling cookies or the Boy Scouts selling popcorn. Or maybe it’s an athletic booster’s club from the local high school. They call your phone. You answer even though you don’t know the number. And they ask you if they can count on…
