All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 3)
What gain have the workers from their toil? I have seen the business that God has given to everyone to be busy with. He has made everything suitable for its time; moreover he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 2)

Paint & Praise: Your Blessings Require Work
Over the last few days, God has reminded me why my time in NYC has been sacred. I’ve long considered my time in NYC to be on-the-job-training for whatever God has in store for me.

Sermon: Standing In The Gap by Pastor Gary Ham
For those of you who thought the grass was greener on the other side and found that it was not, this message is for you. “The crisis you are facing is not one of money, is not a crisis of relationships, it is a crisis of faith. It is your faith. For with God allContinueContinue reading “Sermon: Standing In The Gap by Pastor Gary Ham”
Poem: Life is happening.
