April 7th, 2019 Message by Michael Talley, Discipleship Pastor Last week our text in the book of Hebrews ended with a strong command.

Called to Freedom
January 27, 2019 I want to start with a question this morning. What would you do for freedom? If you grew up in America, there is a good chance that you’ve never given that question much thought.

Psalm 50
September 30, 2018 Good morning. If you have your Bible, turn to Psalm 50. Over the past few months, we’ve been studying the book of Hebrews.
