Scientists are projecting that they will have brought the woolly mammoth back to life after having been extinct for 4000 by 2028!

If you stand so close to a mural painted on the side of the building, all you see are some colorful smudges and brush strokes that are hard to discern. However, if you step back (way back) you begin to see the bigger picture. In this message, we’ll join Paul in a prison cell, being persecuted for his faith. We’ll listen to his advice for those faci…

While we may find ourselves deeply connected to our world and culture, when we give our lives to Jesus it's like we’re living in this space between the world and the Kingdom of God, and that space is called exile.

Most Christians can feel the ground shifting beneath their feet. They can sense an unsettledness in the air and a stirring on the horizon but lack the courage to talk about what they are feeling or the words to describe what they are seeing.

Vision is often wispy, grainy pictures that flash through our minds and are easily lost. However, God instructs us to write-down-the-vision so that those who hold it may run with it! But this doesn’t mean visions are easy to catch or manage! People who see or hear a vision are often side-swiped and feel the crunch of what we’re calling ‘vision coll…

Our answer is a strategy we’re simply …

People aren’t limited by their abilities but by their lack of vision!

Peter and John could feel the tension. The culture had turned on them! They were outnumbered and heavily opposed. So, what do they pray for? Protection? Victory? Vindication? A rescue? No! They pray for boldness! This message examines what leads to one of the most inspiring prayers in the Bible, found in Acts chapter 4, and a recipe for boldness!…
