Nehemiah knew that we could have the best intentions and still end up in the wrong place. He knew that what mattered was making sure we were making the right decisions and creating the right safeguards to keep us on track. He led the people to make a written agreement to stay focused on God’s […]

Nehemiah did not act like the leaders before him; he did not use his position and influence to pad his checkbook or grow his financial status. Instead, he used his power and influence to help others. We are called to do the same. If we are going to accomplish a great work for God’s glory, […]

We’ll examine the “why” of the agony that Jesus struggled with in the Garden.  We’ll explore the fact that he was wrestling with going to the Cross, which was the reason He came to earth in the first place. We’ll also examine Judas’ kiss and Jesus’ arrest and its impact on the disciples.  Pastor Phil […]

In a world where people are often taken advantage of, used, and abused, God’s call for his people is that we deal gently with others. Jesus is the ultimate example of what this looks like, and as His followers, we are to demonstrate the same attitude and actions as He did. Pastor Phil Burdoin The […]
