U Matters

Monday I got to meet and hold and hug my grandson Carter. I experienced all sorts of new emotions. There was a feeling of love and sense of wonder that reduced me to tears.

But my love for the lad pales in comparison to the love God has for him. Oh how we are loved--deeply loved--by our Heavenly Father.

How are you doing on your homework? Pastor Matthew and I are cheering for you as you read five minutes and pray five minutes a day. It will change your life!

Pastor Greg

The End of the Bible: Happy Ever After?
Dragons, mythical creatures, monsters, and wizards! Harry Potter? No, it is the final book of the Bible!  Learn why we should stop listening to end time predictions, why John's Apocalypse is an unparalleled exaltation of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and why Christ (not North Korea, modern Israel, Google, or nuclear weapons) is the interpretative key to this gory doomsday landscape.
