Hope is not defined by the absence of hardship. Rather, hope is found in God’s grace in the midst of hardship. Hope is found in His promise to give us a future. God offers hope to Christians when He promises, “I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers, height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!” (Rom. 8:38-39).

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus is faithful. Who can you trust so fully?”

Some of the most common misuses of our tongues are: 1. Gossiping about fellow members. 2. Criticizing a sermon. 3. Running the pastor down. 4. Passing along matters which should be kept confidential. 5. Constantly questioning the leadership’s methods and motives. 6. Setting two members against each other. 7. Talking about dirty and immoral issues. 8. Making subtle, negative references about others. 9. Talking of matters about which we are uninformed. 10. Making disparaging remarks to others. 11. Bragging about our accomplishments and acts of service. 12. Encouraging church disharmony.
