When you think of someone who is passionate what comes to mind? Possibly someone dressed in their favorite team colors, holding a huge sign, yelling at the top of their lungs, “GO TEAM!” However, to be zealous for good works looks completely different. Zeal for good works is a picture of someone who is enthusiastic […]
It’s exciting to see the kids so ready for summer break. The opportunity to sleep in is always a winner for most of those teenagers looking to get caught up on rest. However, the summer offers much more than late nights and 11:00 am alarms. There will be opportunity to get involved with some great […]
We’ve all been there. Nerves are frayed and patience stretched to the limit. Someone says something a bit out turn, and we explode. We stop listening and start thinking of a rapid response, one that will cut deep. Convinced revenge will be worth the effort, we let loose our counterattack. Love changes everything, and Christ’s […]

A construction company in Detroit has as their motto, “We do good work.” It’s a catchy phrase that grabs your attention. The company uses the slogan on the radio and with television adds which has given them great success. That makes me wonder, do I do good work, does the church do good work, and […]
Resurrection Sunday was phenomenal! I hope you enjoyed seeing the church packed. How wonderful would it be if that could be the case every week? Well, it can, we just have to get busy inviting! I think God uses spring in a way that stirs people spiritually, and we should be there to remind them […]
