The Message This Week

Be The Light - Speak Confidently

Is it difficult to talk about your story with others? 

In the darkest of days, and through the toughest of times, Jesus calls us to let our light shine. In a world full of hate, you can be a shining light.  

Are you letting your light Shine? Do you believe God can use You to be a Light to others? Are you curious about Jesus and just want to learn more?  All are Welcome as we explore Jesus plan for our lives.

"And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.'"
