Faith
The Bible and faith touch every area of life. Come see.
The Holy Trinity
Faith in God is about a relationship, not a religion. This makes knowing God central to a personal faith. “Who are you, God?” is the vital question the Bible answers in a surprising way. Throughout the Scriptures, god defines himself as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Bible scholars call this mind-bending truth the Trinity.
25 Ways to Be Closer to God
God wants a relationship with us and promises to reward those who seek to draw closer to Him (Hebrews 11:6). Here are some things each of us can do to foster a greater relationship with our creator.
Spread the Word
Shortly before the resurrected Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave a command—often called the Great Commission—to His followers: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Matthew 28:19 ESV. It was a message to all Christians, whether in the first century or the 21st century. Here’s how three believers have applied this call to reach a world that doesn’t always agree with or welcome the message.

Seeds
Spring brings April showers, May flowers and planting time. Scripture is full of God’s thoughts about seeds. Examine His handiwork in these sparks of life—and glean insights into the mind of the Creator.
Wedding Song
True love is a song, when two people fall in love, chords, in the hearts of a man and woman, create a beautiful melody. Blessed by the Lord, the song is a heavenly refrain with the power to transform two bodies into one.
Strangers in a Strange Land
We long for meaning in our lives, forgetting that we will never find it by embracing this world. We are sojourners here, our purpose to live as God’s people.

After God's Heart
David is known for greatness—as a runt shepherd boy he used a slingshot to kill the giant Goliath. Later he was crowned king, serving his people as both leader and warrior. He is recognized as having a bold love for God—he leapt and danced with joy before the presence of God as the Ark of the Covenant moved through public streets while Saul’s daughter watched with hatred and mocked him. Possibly most surprising is that David is remembered for his despicable sins, confirming that, with repentance, God does forgive.
