What a great three part video series by Francis & Lisa Chan. They step through the biblical concept of relationships. Video #1 is the fundamentals, then video #2 Lisa focuses on women and Francis wraps it up with video #3 for the men. I strongly encourage you to watch them in order. They are fundamental…
I was able to catch a sermon at Highland Community Church by Rob Strickland this last week and it caught me off guard. The concept was a review of the top 10 list of what children want for Christmas. Of course there is the common things such as iPhones, iPad and other games and technology.…
Alright, if you have been around any church for a duration of time, you inevitably have heard the wonderful saying of “iron sharpens iron”.

We not only changed were we meet on Saturdays (Panera) but we have also made a decision to move our website hosting. Hopefully it won’t be too long before all the content gets moved over. If there is something specific…
A number of years ago, University of Southern California football coach John McKay had the privilege of coaching his son, John. During a television interview a reporter commented on the athletic ability of young John.
