if you have never been let down at one time or another by a person or a situation you had hope in, which later turned negative, then you have been living on a planet different from ours. Jesus Christ was let down by a green tree from which he hoped to get fruit to eat. He got nothing. He was […]

Our Church planned the mission trip to Belize from July 5-11, 2024. A few days before the trip, hurricane Beryl showed up. Both Belize and Houston, TX, were in the storm’s direct path. The airline notified us of possible delays and cancellations and advised us to change travel dates for free. The prayer seminar has been advertised, and pastors and […]

Before his death, Charles Hauser wrote a draft of a commentary on Hebrews, leaving the work for Kevin Bauder to complete. The following is an excerpt from that commentary.

Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 Looking back at the Church in the first century there is no doubt that it thrived despite the circumstances they were in. If they had fail, we will not […]

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus Christ has given me – the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 When Paul encountered Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, his life, passion, vocation, and ambition changed completely. […]
