The Benefits of Worship

2/27/2020                                                                                          Rev. Walt Wellborn Psalm 16:11 “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (NIV)             Worship is every Christian’s replenishment station.  When we worship, we are in a conversation that is bound in communion with our Lord […]

Worship with Abandon

2/20/2020                                                                                          Rev. Walt Wellborn 2 Samuel 6:14 “David was dancing before the Lord with all his might,” (NIV)             Control.  We all want it.  Most of us do not appreciate a life without boundaries so we look to control the world around us.  We want to control our finances.  We want to control our environment.  We […]

Worship with the Heart of a Child

2/13/2020                                                                                          Rev. Walt Wellborn Jeremiah 1:6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” (NIV)             God bless the innocence of children.  How often in our lives do we look back to back to a time when we were young, innocent of our wrongs, naïve in our approach […]

Worship with Praise

2/6/2020                                                                                             Rev. Walt Wellborn Psalms 95:6 “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;” (NIV) I want to challenge your perception of worship.  Worship is a state of mind.  Ever since humans began walking the earth, people have knelt in humility, either to their leaders or their Gods.  […]

The Lord’s Prayer (series)

The Lord’s prayer is Christ’s example to us on how to pray. Most of us recite the prayer in our worship services on Sunday morning but it is easy for us to lose meaning in the repetitive nature of our reciting. This series seeks to provide context and meaning behind the Lord’s prayer and we […]

Claiming Freedom (series)

Freedom is bought. It comes at great sacrifice. We enjoy freedom but often we don’t know what it truly means to be free. So many in the world want to define Christianity through a set of rules which to them, limits freedom. But that is truly not the case. There is really no greater freedom […]
