Misused Verses: Judge Not, or You will be Judged
July 27, 2025 We’re in our message series on the most misused verses in the Bible. Last week we learned that when Jesus said, “I will do whatever you ask in my name” he wasn’t promising to grant our every wish. Instead, he encouraged his disciples that after he returns to heaven, they will doContinue reading “Misused Verses: Judge Not, or You will be Judged”
Misused Verses: I will do whatever you ask in my name
July 20, 2025 Today we’re starting a brand new message series about the most misused verses of the Bible. They don’t mean what you might think.

Filled with the Spirit
June 8, 2025 Imagine how awesome it would be to have Jesus with you, helping you all the time. If you have a party, and you run out of something important, like potato chips.
