Introduction to Acts
After great shakes, it is always a good idea to inspect the foundations of our homes to see if the house is still setting where it is supposed to be.

Pastor Jim's Word for the Week
Ø Trying to grow in the Christian life without regular feeding on the Word of God is like trying to grow a garden in soil without nutrients.
Pastor Jim's Word for the Week
Ø It is true that Christ invites all to come to Him just as we are. It is not true that He will leave us just as we were.
Pastor Jim's Word for the Week
Ø Big belts and boots don't make a cowboy. Nor do pious talk nor long prayers nor turbo-tears make a Christian. A Christian is one who takes up his cross and follows Christ.
Pastor Jim's Word for the Week
Ø God and the devil often enter the same windows, except the Lord comes to do us good whereas the enemy would exploit the same opening to do us harm. Be alert!
Pastor Jim's Word for the Week
Ø God's timing is never late, never early; there are no misses, no messes, no mistakes. His timing is always right on schedule and always on purpose. So let us run the race and let God run the clock.
