We are continuing in Pastor Kraig’s explosive new series [TOXIC CHURCH CULTURE] based in the book of James!
Church should always be somewhere and something that people experience the love of Jesus, community, forgiveness and joy. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Many times people will find the exact opposite in church. How sad to think that many churches and “Christians” are more apt to function in toxic ways than holy ways. This has to stop! Time is too short and the work the church should be doing is too important. Tune in as Pastor Kraig does a deep dive through the book of James on this serious and timely topic over the next few weeks.

It's a new year and that means that there can be a new you! God is ready to open up heaven and pour out in your life; blessings, dreams, provision, and direction. Will you walk in it?

Have you ever heard of "FOMO" or "Fear Of Missing Out"? People spend money on things they don't need to impress people they don't know. All in the hopes that others will notice them.

Let's be real! The church today has earned its reputation of being hypocritical and judgmental. Unfortunately, these kinds of things has been what the church has had to fight against since the beginning. It's nothing new! Paul warned the Philippians to be aware of the "legalists" folk IN the church trying to tell them the way to be a Christian. That it had to do with works and even circumcision. When in reality it is a privilege to know Christ and that is based in faith alone. Listen to this message and be blessed and encouraged by it!
